well to start off here are 2 new pictures that a mate of mine snapped completely randomly, these are the only ones I have with the new wheels but I think it looks great :mellow: very happy with them (they fill out the kit better then the pictures show..)

but iv run into some problems.. ill do my best to explaining it

basically its losing a lot of power up top.. it feels and sounds like the gate is opening prematurely. its not a constant thing – sometimes it will do it, sometimes it wont.. the sound is almost like a very deep/fast flame thrower and it generally starts making this sound/losing power around 3.5-4.5k rpm. Can anyone shed any light on this because its really giving me the shits.

Also, uhh.. how do I say this.. I don’t even know if this is heard of, but, I got chopped by a Honda :worship: when this happened it was a strange chain of events, first of all the car did a very unusually slow take off the line, then accelerated fairly normally, started to hit boost with a normal feel, got around 4k and started to lose power – but didn’t make the strange sound – But then picked the power back up again.. its very very strange

Any help or recommendations would be fantastic and I cant wait to meet some of you at the show n shine in june!

Cheers :)

Flame thrower sound could be a leak in your intake somewhere, on the pressure side (after the turbo) check all your cooler pipe joins. Are you losing boost at that point?

Mid range dip is common in the RB25DET from what I have read and experienced, will leave that for the more informed to explain or diagnose.

hey brycey, you had a water issue a while back do you think your latest probs could be associated, or maybe you,ve got a dodgey coilpack, only a stab in the dark but it would elimanate coilpacks if you could put a meter on them...... otherwise down to the workshop.....goodluck.

Im gonna start quoting more often because I just realized how easy it is to do on this forum :nyaanyaa:

I had a squiz and everything looks/feels as it would have been out of the factory (with the clamps and piping).. it sounds more like a strange exhaust note rather than a intake leak etc.. when it happens its very loud and noticeable.. very deep

cheers mate :nyaanyaa:

I was considering it might have been a spark or electrical issue but because its so inconsistent im starting to think its more of a turbo issue.. it only has 105xxx k’s so the turbo shouldn’t be throwing bits and pieces out yet, but its not sounding good.. I just wish it would be more consistent so it could be narrowed down a bit :| I might take a movie of it this weekend so I can hopefully capture some of the sound and effect..

I seen your car today, look's even better in person then in the pic's :ninja:

yeah mate just saw that in the spotted thread! I love white stagea’s yours looks fantastic

cheers mate :nyaanyaa:

a failed turbo would be a consistent issue. Coils and ignition would be an intermittent issue.

I washed my engine once and the car never ran the same until i replaced the coils.

Symptoms i had were lack of power between 4-5k rpm and occasional chuffing at 2.5-3.5krpm. It would drive okay after about 2-3 hours of driving.

Sounds like the coils are naffed to me.

You may have a cracked exhaust manifold?

Some mention was made of it here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...0&start=240

hmmm doubt its a cracked exhaust manifold, but its worth a check just to be sure, ill do a few checks this weekend

coils packs.

it is very common on these cars.

yeah? beauty, what a great excuse to get some spitfires :( haha, just have to save my pennys. i would have thought that a electrical issue would be more consistant then not :| glad to see that someone can put a finger on the problem :cool: ill still try and get a movie because its very interesting, might help other people if they have the same problem.. cheers guys

Very nice, I remember drive around in that car, was very comfy and very sexy :D

Uncomplied, Unregistered, FRESH. Just plates off another car :):P

Only thing that I would recommend, slap some 10mm spacers on the front wheels to fill the gaurds out a little better.

hahaha yeah alex told me about how he would drive it around :P either you guys have some massive balls or Melbourne has some easy laws :P either way I don’t blame you hahah

Cant get over those wheels!! they look HOT!! :pwned:

reminds me of an old saying: "the wheel maketh the chariot" - lol :D

haha cheers mate, yeah I wan to get some spacers on the front.. fill it out alittle more. The rear wheels fill it perfectly, but the front kit is just so massive. Spacers will be coming very soon

very nice brycey

thanks mate :)

Hey I saw that car at Video Ezy in Kotara last week, checked it out quickly as I was working, (Pizza Hut next door), looked really nice.

haha oh yeah? nice, should have said something to me mate! Always keen for a chat :)

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
