pm sent

lol,

No,

5000rpm in 1st,

what is traction?

lol

Why not find out if u have an after market suspension or not?

look at it, most of the time, u can tell them stock apart from aftermarket.

or snap a pic and post it on!

Do you mean to say that I shouldn't expect traction in 1st at high rpm's? I went for a ride in my mate's 200rwkw s13 and it had no problem to the redline. And I think I mentioned mine has no trouble if I have a passenger for a bit more weight. MajorSick also said 370kw and no problem with traction. So what do you mean?

I'm pretty sure previous owner said it was aftermarket. He said something about the importer giving him a choice between a couple of setups... not sure exactly what was changed.

So if you think it would help I will try to get a camera underneath it. When it stops raining of course... lost my garage spot :wave:

Can your sava's hold traction in first, and if so do you also have an RB25DET? If so then that would indicate my suspension is the cause of loss of traction.

Yeap it's a RB25DET, but it's an auto though, so take off is relatively slower and not as quick as a manual, so I don't have any problems with traction with the Sava's.

I am not saying the sole cause is the tyres, it does sound more like your suspension needs an overhaul but the tyres do make a difference. Just fitted Toyo's T1R's and I have to say they make a difference in terms of ride comfort and soaking up pumps over the Sava's :(

ok went in andrews car today..

Wasnt as bumpy as i thought it would be.. A bit more harder than my suspension, but its really not that bad.

I just think hes got some shitty tyres. Hard compound tyres and also the pressure is a little high i reckon.

I got like 1mm of thread left in my rear tyres, and i didnt loose traction in 1st when planted right to 7000rpm.. We got big sideways in one of the corners, but thats expected around a corner.

Anyways andrew i think its just your tyres.

But maybe do an inspection on your suspension if you want.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
