nice work you handsome devil!

this shot is money:

I am amin i :P

yer i just posted the link so you could see what the track was like as there were some good pics. I finished behind the bloody GT2 both times .7 ec in first race and .15 sec in second race

Righto if you look at the pic of my car you can see the inside rear is just about in the air and i think that is not helping with naff all grip during mid corner.

Now what do i need to stop that from taking place??

I have done the alloy bushes in the rear sub frame if that a pineapple

The sway bars back and front are Cusco items 30mm rear and 24mm front

the shocks are Japanese Ohlins non adjustable front and rear.

The spring rates are 7.1kg/mm front and 6.6 kg/mm rear.

And thanks for the time to help this poor old punter out.

it's possible the bars are too stiff and causing it to lift wheels. if you can be arsed it could be worth testing out some different combos if you still have your stock bars. some heavier springs may cure it too. from what I've seen the tracks there look very smooth, so you could certainly go much higher in both front and rear spring and maybe downsize the bars a bit. providing the dampers can cope of course.

A couple of race pics show the car kneeling over on the front outside. That could cause it to lift the inside rear. Normally I'd say it needs a heavier front ARB, perhaps heavier front springs or lighter rears.

Seems that the heavier front springs and suitable dampers may be the first combo to try a few other have recomended that be the first area to try and improve.

Track is F1 standard and is baby bum smooth

trouble is the bloody thing sneaked past me as i was happly understreering through the last corner LOL.

My old car is quicker in a straightline but he can get me under brakes and through corners as i cant hit them as hard with semi's as i could with slicks which appear to be hiding the fact the car was not as well sorted as i thought it was.

Gunna be gettin me some of them michlin pilot cup sports as well, same as the GT2 taking that part of the problem away.

if your car is already understeering, I wouldn't go with harder front springs or bars. that will only make the understeer worse. You might be better off looking at front roll couple to reduce front body roll without altering spring rates. And roll axis inclination which could be causing the excessive yaw which leads to the inside rear lifting.

And that in english please :-)^

Either raise the nose of the car or buy some of these:

Also you probably could usefully invest some dollars in one or other of the car suspension books.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
