hey all,

long time owner, new time driver >_< - so just making sure my car is going ok and everything...

Just wondering what other manual, turbo, R34 owners cars are revving at when doing 100kph?

My car seems to be around 2700 - 2800rpm, more 2800rpm... i thought it was a little high??

No modifications at all except splitfire coilpacks...

is this a normal rpm for 100kph?

cheers,

daniel

nah man, this is 2nd gear.... my car go do 350km/hr!

yeah, yeah, 5th gear.... thought it was a little high that's all, 2800rpm..

and on that token... is it silly to use 5th gear when doing 60kph? i'm thinking purely from a fuel economy point of view. in that the less the rpm, the less petrol being used? But wasn't sure how good it was to drive at 60kph in 5th, at about 1700-1800 rpm

I read something today about fuel economy. They recon moving to a higher gear as early as possible, and 5th in 60 should be ok. But then its all about gear ratios i guess, so it changes on a vehicle to vehicle basis. I guess.

my mates 34 revs at just under 3k from memory too, which i thought seemed a little high too, but i guess not. 5th at 60km/hr might even be worse for fuel econemy, if you've only got very light throttle, then ok, but even on a slight uphill, or accelerating from 60km/hr, then there'd be so much load that you'd use heaps of fuel, where as downshifting and revving a little bit harder while ur closer to the meat of the torqu curve, u will use less fuel. thats the theory side of it that i was taught, probly all a load of sh*t tho lol :D

Mines auto R33 and I find that when the car has not warmed up properly it sits on around 2900-3000 RPM, once it has warmed up it drops to as far as 2,600 RPM.

The revs drop when the torque converter locks up. When driving an auto you should try and notice when the converter locks unlocks and attempt to drive with the converter locked as often as possible, this will lead to very good economy.

better fuel economy in 5th unless u are trying to accelerate or goin uphill.. :D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
