  1. hmmm...i am tempted - how do they perform on a higher output engine? im running over 400awkw & heaps of torque (930nm)
  2. paul - you are a legend mate, i think once again u are right - you freak! i spoke jim @ crd & he explained that the coil pack was mis-firing with the pitted coil pack lead tip which is why the plug was black & this causes all sorts of things i.e. spark over which makes noise, even possible pinging. i haven't test driven it yet but i'd say it is fixed im almost ready to put my head on the chopping block if its not rectified i will report here once ive take it for a wrap on a long straight, 3rd gear under load worse case i may need to buy a set of splitfire coilpacks
  3. Paul, u told me about that tomei bottom end kit u did for a customer then compared it to a nitto kit...what conclusion did u draw from this, 1st hand experience? Not a version from a pc warrior
  4. u might be right here - ji ust pulled out the plugs & no.4 plug is a lot blacker than the others...when i look at the coil pack for this plug it seems that the black lead tip on it is shorter than the others
  5. It was tuned on a 33deg day, the problem appeared on a 18deg day...could a drop in temp cause it?
  6. If it were coils I would probably feel the loss in power in higher revs? Although this also crossed my mind Would a faulty coil cause this symptom, I don't think so as the symptom would be hesitation I will pull out the plugs tonight and if they look the same then off I go to my tuner
  7. yeah i had a squize at your pfc faq...you are probably right. i have dropped the boost level anyway, better to be safe than sorry
  8. this is what i 1st thought - i ran the car basically dry then refilled at another bp servo (98 ultimate) & same thing.
  9. hi guys, i did a search & couldnt find what i was looking for - as of yesterday my knock has increased as i noticed this in 3rd gear when i got to 6500rpm @ 24psi, read 70+. when i reduce the boost level to approx 20psi the knock drops to 40 (as per pfc) & even lower boost showed 25knock. my tuner will check this out for me but in the meantime i would like to do a check over so i dont waste his time...paul (mr swiper) was suggested i blow out the loom connectors with an air compressor as water may have entered the connectors when i washed the engine bay last week & also to check that the spark plugs all look the same (maybe a plug has failed?) is there anything else i should check OR has anyone else experienced high knock due to something rattling/loose in the engine bay? i dont want to feel like a d1ck with my tuner if something else is causing this bizarre reading... thanks. marko
  10. yes ive seen some of these runs in japanese on my brothers old video collection & i agree their tracks are terrible
  11. give it the 'choke hold' and strangle that angry monkey
  12. Completely off topic here, yrs ago my mates cortina was broken into and all looked ok until he started it and was stuck on fuLl revs, choke was in the back seat Fineline - can't wait to see the full boost results as well
  13. HAHAHA - thats harsh but quite funny i 'suppose' 1 good thing stevo did was convince me to build an rb30
  14. Duncan, I am truly disappointed in you...how about I give u a taste of the big bottom end? Stevo, robbie ward will put these guys in place I might just send him a pm to stir the pot
  15. U got that right paul, chicks flock for the bigger bottom end. Btw that is a great result...550awkw from a baby rb26 hehe
  16. If u matched pauls pb @ 1.35 u would have a mid 8...so much for the jap racers hehe
  17. sorry guys - my post was not necessary: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ti...35#entry5137335 what is the purpose of this metal box behind the speedo cluster anyways?
  18. i think i just found my answer
  19. hi guys, i am baffled as to the source of a noise i have which i hear when on the motorway...when im doing between 100-120km/h i hear this "tick tock" kinda noise & the best way to decribe it is that it almost sounds like the indicator but louder but it is also irregular & occurs when it feels like, could it be a speed warning sensor? i thought it might be my speedo cable but the needle doesnt flicker at all... i have nfi its an r32gtr with 180km/h dash display if that helps thanks
  20. next time you take out the r32 in nsw pleeeease let me know, i'll be the spectator pitching a tent
  21. come to think of it, i only really hear my fan on start up & not when im driving the car im happy to keep the fan on there for now
  22. Great post, thanks for the info...it makes perfect sense to me that the clutch fan runs off engine temp.
