^^^ your dreaming kid... "with great power... comes no economy" lol

indeed it was on standard boost, i have the readouts somewhere here!

ive never boosted that car man, never felt the need to

now with the gtr i dont think im ever going to lol

Werd to that grasshopper, as Confucius say "With great power comes great fuel consumption"....or as I say "Power=Fuel" :w00t:

how much does a tune cost at dr drift? its in dandeong yea? looking to get more power / economy out of mine.. i get srsly shit all in my n/a.

everyone seems to recommend dr drift i think i'll be going there :w00t:

He is in Brooklyn, just passed the city on the other side of the Westgate.

just a little update seemed everyone has bigger stock power figers then me :)

so i had a look around my engine and found a disconected vacum hose from the boost solinode that goes into the cooler pipe.

seems to drive better and have more power lol

:)

Would like to see what mine makes just out of curiosity.

GTST with exhaust and boost tap to make it run bout 9 pound.

BTW, I have no idea of the difference between pound, psi, bar, etc. And am not sure that im using the correct term. I think the car runs 7 pound/psi/whatever as stock and now its on 9.

But im guessing around the 150 mark atw considering no front mount at all.

$120 mate he charged me for a full diognostic it sure was interesting :D

Whats involved in a full diagnostic? I have had my R33 for 4 weeks now and want someone to go over it with a fine toothed comb, then dyno it.

i went in today for a diagnostic coz my car always misfires. he suggested spark problem so i'll have to get onto that. while i was there my stock r33 made 140.1kw while stuttering lol. he said it wasn't a power run though or something like that. dunno wat that means? anyway attached a pic i took of the screen

140 will make a few more when you sort the sparking issue...

fark my lemon i cant belive i forgot to hook up the vacum hose to the cooler from the boost solinoid its beeen off since i thought a fixed the leak and ran it on the dyno with it off too, :P

it seems to have more power and spool faster then i heard another hiss like a blow off valve while on boost farken old hoses.

ill have to go though every last hoes now......................

it seems like i get the hoses under normal boost pressure and the air finds a new weak spot in the system to escape.

when i bought this thing i tramped down some road and it sucked me on the seat and felt bloody awsome seemed to just keep pulling i loved it........

so i know what it can do arrrrrhhhhh :P

sometimes some 'stock' cars can seem to make more power than other 'stock' cars due to a leaning out fuel pump. I know cos this was the case with mine... Dealer just told me it was a 'freak' and that some just made more power - all it was doing was running lean..........

...looking to get more power / economy out of mine.. i get srsly shit all in my n/a.

I've seen so many people go and put extractors on, get their engines tuned up, do custom air intakes and exhaust systems, etc all in the name of getting 'better economy'...

This *might* work *if* you drove using the same amount of power as before, but with less fuel being consumed... but from experience if you have more power, you tend to use it... so worse economy!

i do suburban driving and drive about 30 mins to work and back and im lucky to get 200 k's from my tank, yeah i put my foot down a bit but not all the time it should be better economy then this..

i thought a dyno tune could possibly fix this problem..?

    • Welcome back mate ,I also joined in the early 2000's , since then I have been in and out a few times depending if I had a skyline in the garage.  I have the another one now , so signed up and back with the SAU team.
    • I used "different strokes for different folks" quite pointedly as honestly, there is no wrong when it comes to choosing what you like.  I always day dreamed about flappy paddles with fast shifts in a sporty RWD Turbo and to me the sound and feel of it cutting through gears in a steady stream is exciting, engaging, and keeps the car better balanced - I *also* like h-patterns, but I find them more engaging and fun in a nice hoonable peaky NA thing.  Type-R Integra/old school NA rotary, things that are raw and need all the rpm where picking the gear and getting it sky high is part of the engagement of the whole thing despite the fact that they probably need closer ratios and faster shifts even more than a 3l turbo thing haha  
    • If I wasn't allowed or really had the desire to visit China it would probably fit in my carry on, but I have no desire, Japan would be nice during Cherry Blossom time though I might need to chat to Jackie about that, that should actually be an easy conversation though as she is currently talking about another cruise, cruise ship to Japan, a week in Japan to see the sights, then cruise home I may even be able to find those OEM NC Recaro seats over there that I cannot find here 🤔
    • What do you mean?  In between the two I shared?  They're the same boost   This will be insane.   A mate has a GTSt with a 9:1 RB30/25 with Tomei 256 cams and a Borg S362SX-E that is already a beast from the basement but has a stock 5 speed and will probably get a ZF8 one day.  After the G35 900 RB26 setup I'd be lying if the topic of "Wtf would a divided G35 be like on this thing?" idea hadn't come up - you'd definitely want a wide boost control range setup with it, as even with the less responsive and potent S361 we're having to ramp boost in from very low levels in the early gears.
    • ZF8 is faster, wider ratio spread, better in every way. I do not dispute this. But I have brain damage and I want the feeling of shifting gears. To me the extra work is fun, but I daily an automatic and in the US like 90+% of cars are automatic so a manual transmission is an "exotic" experience. If I want an automatic I've driven an F80 M3 with DCT more than a few times and it's incredibly capable but it's emotionally vacant to me.
