Why no sub Bass? Makes your user name seem a little strange...

Your spark plugs are gapped to 1.1 mm standard and if you up the boost you need to gap them to 0.8mm. That's you first port of call but your car could very easily have another 20-20-50k on it but has been wound back meaning that your coils may well need replacing. There are a couple of threads on here about taping them up and arralditing them etc but it doesn't seem to work for everybody.

Maybe from the 2 litre engined one... Cut those 4 door comments out Duncan. They are spurious and ignorant.

Vision are doing my car too but because the wheels are chomies they can't be done apparently. I have some more legal advice from my Barristers (I'm a Barrister's Clerk) and I'm going through the 'Dispute Resolution Process'. Will keep you all informed.

Ark just send me an email as per one of my previous posts. You'll have 3 months to get it done and saturday will be fine.

Endorean got it, E_Lu-SHuN i'll get a price. few more to come, also waiting on the guy to confirm he has the list before I send you all his number.

But there is some racing I saw on tv the other day with mini cars just like these but commodores and falcons. It was in between ute racing or lotus racing or something. they fang.

Should I take the money or fight? On the way to the SAU christmas party a woman in a golf changed lanes into me pushing me into the kerb. Damage was paint rather than dents in several places and between the insurer, assessor and smash repairer in this regard they have been great. Almost the whole car is getting resprayed due to the difficulty in perfectly matching the pearl paint. Other damage was to the wheels. Front drivers side one broken spoke; front passenger side gutter rash all round, (one chip approximately 1 cm across was already there); rear passenger small gutter rash and a smallish chunk taken out from the middle of one spoke. The woman who hit me admitted fault both at the scene and when she rang the following day. From what I gather her insurane company has also admitted fault already. So anyway, I have been offered $750 for the damage to my wheels. They reckon that because of the one small chip I already had that they don't have to cover the damage to that wheel. I paid $1600 for them second hand about 9 or 10 months ago. I can't get matching rims as they don't make them anymore. They expect me to be happy with 2 rims of a different sort and one damaged one, or to sell my good rim and the damaged one (for what? $10!!!) and buy a new set myself with the not enough money they are offering. What do you all think?

Ahh sorry I misunderstood a little. I thought you wanted a higher mph at that et.

I don't think your mph is your problem. Check my sig.

I think I've seen a couple of people on this forum who have 19's and are going back to 18's, both r33's though.

I think your coils are damaged rather than not up to spec. How many k's on your car? I had to replace mine at 66000. (real k's) are your plugs gapped down to 0.8?

I had full exhaust, Nismo panel filter and some boost.

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/torque-converter.htm " In addition to the very important job of allowing your car come to a complete stop without stalling the engine, the torque converter actually gives your car more torque when you accelerate out of a stop. Modern torque converters can multiply the torque of the engine by two to three times. This effect only happens when the engine is turning much faster than the transmission. At higher speeds, the transmission catches up to the engine, eventually moving at almost the same speed. Ideally, though, the transmission would move at exactly the same speed as the engine, because this difference in speed wastes power. This is part of the reason why cars with automatic transmissions get worse gas mileage than cars with manual transmissions. To counter this effect, some cars have a torque converter with a lockup clutch. When the two halves of the torque converter get up to speed, this clutch locks them together, eliminating the slippage and improving efficiency."

Ok basically we should treat any ceffie sighting as suspicious cos there still isn't many of them around. that sucks big time man. I thought it sucked enough getting my wheels stolen.

and the user name... ah well bonkers gave him all the info he needs but some people blah blah blah...

I had my R34 done. 27 rwkw gain from memory although to be honest that was on different dyno; no reason to think that should be much of a problem in this case though. No other mods done at the same time.

Ok we have 19 vehicles confirmed. Keep your eye out for an email tomorrow. The following people have not replied to pms or sent me an email but put themselves down as in. mmmgtir rOma Endorean GTR032 Malecki MarkE myr34 I know at least 3 of those above and expect their response in due course, MarkE certainly seemed keen (despite the misunderstanding ) so just a few others there that I don't know about.

maybe your internet is slow, i got it at 1.5 k/sec.

189.4 rwkw 13.8 qm 1:15.52 wakefield park both on shitty tyres. An auto can be quicker because at lower revs the torque converter actually increases the torque, ie more than the engine is putting out. I found at the drags that up to at least 3/4 track I was in front of far more powerful cars but they stormed home past me for a quicker ET. I put it down partially to the power lost through an auto being at the top end of the spectrum (my opinion only) and also the rev drop between 2nd and 3rd gears being too much.

Where does the oil come from? ie; from where before the catch can? what about with a new turbo?

How used are they? Also wouldn't it be a bit strange to have semi's on the back but not the front? Understeer?

Yes there is. That's what you are hitting.
