Well, you won't save too much dosh this way - uses more petrol, more wear'n'tear on the gearbox, more wear'n'tear on the driveline.

Thank heavens you're in Perth:rolleyes: One less idiot to look out for.

Ease up there mate, they guy is asking a honest question.

The guy is racing on the fu(king streets:mad: And we're endorsing his actions.

Next he'll come whingeing to us that the police have confiscated his car, and he wants our advice as to how to get out of trouble.

Power button I beleive is just like an overdrive.. similar to a 5th gear.. should only be used above 80k/h or for cruising.

No....

The power button makes the car hold gear until redline before shifting up, but if your foot is on the floor it does this anyway.

Turn overdrive OFF for more power. As it uses a lower ratio of gears. Overdrive is different between auto & manual and should be left ON for day to day driving to save petrol.

I see no mention of street racing anywhere in his post's. For all we know it could have been a sealed road on a private farm.

No one is endorsing street racing. I can see your point, but please leave openly hostile comments for PM.

mre .. if u do that then u are just wasting petrol ... there is a hige difference with the OD on or off ... for me anyways ... its like 800rpm or something like that ... thats heaps!!! plus its quieter and the engine is doing less work so i would assume its better for it ... so from the info above ... i gather there is no difference in power or OD?? theres a mistake somewhere in here ...

the POWER button wont change gear until you get MUCH higher revs than without it!!

the OVERDRIVE button is for when you are cruiseing like 80+ on freeway etc....

this is comming from me in a R33 auto non trubo hehe so i do what i can to get the most outa the car lol

thanks for the help guys. ive always wondered about those overdrive and power buttons:)

now i can street race and ram other cars off the road... haha.. na im just joking... just trying to stir..hhee... i like everyone else ONLY ever race on my private runway on my private farm, which i fly out to on weekends in my helicopter, which folds out of a suitcase, which i keep under my bed(like everyone else OF COURSE!).. hehe... :(

whoa... im glad that embarrassment is pretty much over:D hehe.

thanks

justin:)

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
