    Boost hits at around 3k.

    When I first got the car back to Mt Gambier it was keyed a week later. The scratches are still there, they have been touched up, they are still obvious from less than a couple of meters away.

    Plenty more pics on request.

  4. The 3G is great, I get around 650kb/s (im with telstra) If your set on vodaphone you'll want to ask someone in adelaide on vodaphone with an iphone what its like. Here in Mount Gambier you only get gprs with vodaphone on the iphone.

    Email is great, you can have the push style.

    I use to have problems with custom apps not working almost every day, had to delete and install one to make them all work again which I think was a common problem. It hasnt happend for a while now.

    Wifi is unreal.

    The GPS is unreal.

    The web browser is unreal.

    I want to mention that of 3 screens of downloaded apps (3x16) I have I have only paid for 3 of them, and all for less than $5.

    I have an app to vnc to my servers.

    I have an app to ssh to my servers.

    I have an ebook reader.

    I have a skype/msn/googletalk client.

    All free

    Theres Dynolicious and PocketDyno for your Petrol Head Needs™ (and im sure more by now)

    Theres so many cool apps.

    You can do the whole unlock thing, but everytime I look at doing it I ask myself why, and I have no answer. If you want to do it to unlock it from a network the quickpwn thingo works fine.

    Everything is backed up to itunes (apps,contact,music,etc.....) if you stuff it up.

    I hate apple and their 'walled garden' approach to business but ive had this thing since just after they were released in Aus and I have not regretted it .... well ive wished it ran the android os a few times :yes:

    Edit: also zedevan is on the money imo

  5. ohhh no a missfire ?? was anybody hurt?

    Only my pride and bank account so far

    loose injector plug? or perhaps faulty injector?

    Ill get him to check injectors

    Thanks

    Did mechanic regap your sparkplugs? After I installed my new sparkplugs I had all sorts of misses, after making sparkplug gap smaller the missfire was gone.

    Something to try anyways, GL!

    Ill ask

    Thanks

    I'd look at all the small things first before spending any more $$$, wiring, fuses, earth straps, coil loom, fuel pump wiring and fuel pressure, 0.8mm spark plug gap, clean AFM, O2 sensor, injector clean etc etc etc These things can drive you bats finding them.

    Also try this: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...er-t233110.html

    I will suggest these things aswell

    and thanks for the link, fingers crossed its something simple like that !

    Thanks

    Get a screw driver preferably one with a steel shaft all the way through and start your car. Then use the screw driver as a stethoscope and put the blade end on the top of the injector and use your hand as a cup and listen to the noise coming out the end of the screw driver. Make sure that all your injectors are making the same level and pitch of click, ( if you know what i mean).

    This will be very hard if you don't have a forward facing plenum, got GL anyways.

    Thats way to complicated for me :down:

    Ill suggest that method to my mechanic.

    Thanks

    sounds like problem with one or two of your injectors. does it drive like a WRX? joking does it drive like a dog is there a noticeable loss of power ?

    Huge loss in power when it happens, so yes just like a wrx :)

    Thanks for the tips guys.

  6. Hi Guys

    Ive got a series '1.5' R33 (S1 engine) that about 6 months ago started having a missfire about 1% of the time and I would pull over and restart the car and it would fix it self.

    Because it was so intermittent it took ages to get it to my mechanic while it was happening. I finally got it there while it was missfiring and he replaced the sparkplugs.

    Didnt fix it and its slowly started happening more of the time until a few weeks ago its happening around half the time its going.

    Took it back to my mechanic and he said coilpacks, so now its got splitfire coilpacks in it.

    Didnt fix it.

    To be fair I live in a country town and im fairly certain my car is the only skyline the mechanic works on.

    Anyway i took a short 16 second vid, while you accelerate the engine it has an exhaust sound like a wrx instead of the normal smooth sound.

    http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=hV68RI5Zhmw

    (how do you embed the video here ?)

    Thanks for any advice.

    btw, its got a front mount, pfc, elec boost control, some other stuff and around 200kw.

  7. Hi,

    I did a search for dynolicious and couldn't find anything so forgive me if its been mentioned already.

    Dynolicious

    From the site.

    * 0-60 Acceleration

    * 1/4 Mile Elapsed Time

    * Lateral G's

    * Horsepower

    If you have an Iphone its a cheap ($15.99) way to see some fairly accurate(?) stats for your car. Just do a search for dynolicious in the app store.

    It does not have metric units in it so far, but I think it will be very popular and will get a metric option down the track.

    Check out the screenshots page

    EDIT: Just playing with the app now, you can put multiple cars into it, you get to put a photo for your car from the camera's photos. You also get to add mods to see before and after results. It has mounting instructions in the app.

    The only testing ive been able to do so far is to swing it about to get to to measure g's and things which is making me look like an idiot in the office :blink:

  8. you have the width set to 550, why not set the width bigger ie. 700 to fit on the "standard minimum res" of 800x600 (i would argue that this would be 1024x768 these days and that 900 width would be fine) this gives people more room, Hi Bec, to have wide sigs that will not take up any more space on the screen

    I think you want to encourage people to have wide sigs as opposed to high ones imo
