I went for a drive in my NA skyline and my mate had a '98 vectra and still i started to slowly pull away at around 105 :D

There either prety good cars or mines slow as..

I can confirm your car is 'slow as'. Because out of the factory brand new they are 'slow as'. It isn't a gtst, even they are slowish.

I raced a modified VS Senator last night (well it sounded modified and had a huge exhaust). It was virtually neck and neck the whole way, but by the time we backed off I had started to very slightly pull ahead. Nothing to write home about, but I had 2 passengers and he had none! I would have thought that the V8's torque would have reeled me in but apparently not.

Oh, and due to the really awful launch I did I decided I really need some pineapples. (that's not my excuse for not doing any better, because his launch was as bad as mine :D)

The weight and gearing worked against the Senator JimX. And as for '98 Vectras, a V6 Manual can keep with a 200SX (i've seen it done).And all LX Torana-onwards Holdens do single-spinners as it's the way the BorgWarner diff operates. My old UC Trana did it, a mate's VH did it. VTs, VXs, and VYs do it.

I saw my first R34 4 Door yesterday.

Damn they look really nice. It had no spoiler on the back and was a dark silver grey. It also had a nice set of wheels.

Definately nicer looking than say a Commodore and I think the Commodore do look nice so thats saying some thing.

They built a GT-R (4wd, ATESSA, etc) with RB26DE, i know a guy who lived in Japan and knows the dude who runs Autech and got taken for a run in the car. I dunno if it did the round of shows, i know it was his daily driver for a fair while. He reckoned it was a better drive than the TT GT-Rs

Ja i saw it. And the car i am talking bout was a GT-R (4 door shell loaded with the pumped guards/spoiler, etc) and NA RB26. GT-R interior as well.

I'll e-mail my mate and get the link to the car. I KNOW the car, it was the bloke's private road car... He built one with 4WD and the GT-R guards, one with the guards but without the 4WD system as well...

I don't think we're talking about the same car Rezz

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
