but it blew up ;) I can up my boost to 30 psi and it would make a nice figure, but may have a similar outcome.

Exactly!

:)

Ever notice too how some people always have some "buffer" excuses about the power/speed of their car, like:

"Oh I made 300rwkw, but I had a leak in the intercooler ... so I could get more power"

"I ran a 11.0 second quarter, but I was running lower boost ... so the car could go faster"

The key word is "could". You could, but didn't. When I drag raced, I was cutting 11.08 sec timeslips at best. Had another guy claim he could run a high 10sec. That guy could have, but didn't ... he popped his engine. My engine consistently put up with the abuse, and delivered the timeslips to back it up. Worse time ever was a 12.4 after a stall.

When I raced bikes at Mallala, I was running 1m17s times. Other racers said they could do a 1m17s also, but never delivered. Always some excuses about bad tyres or wrong suspension setting. If you had it right when you ran your "1m17s" you'd be consistent at it all the time.

Numbers are only serious when they're on paper and consistent.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
