Only Macka does 15sec quarters:p Haha, thought I might get a bite out of you Simon.

BTW, I beat your dyno figure yesterday, made 296rwhp, and mine still has stock turbo:D Might not be able to beat you in a race, but I can on the dyno:D

Whether you have a Skyline through your own hard work, or you were lucky enough to be given one, I think the real winner is the diversification of the cars on our roads. (Very left field here)

Let me demonstrate...

Before FastnFurious came out I knew bugger all about any car. I thought the coolest cars on the road were the Celica's bcos at the time they appealed to me, and infact that what I had seen on our roads! After watching this movie, it opened up my eyes to a world I was definitely missing out on. I researched all I could about these cars I had seen and started getting into the whole import culture.

Knowing something about how a car works and what a turbo does and all the other stuff is interesting, and for fellow entusiasts like me its great to find out more! Having these impressive machines on the road today jst makes me wanna learn more!

I tink in the end, if we didn't have great imports coming in there would be very little diversity on our roads, and having lots of diversity is good. It gives us something to look at, something to learn about, and something to dream about too....

Amen...

lol jst my 2cents worth...

Vin

Im glad you said the fast and the furious wanted to make you learn more rather than actually letting it teach you everything you know. That movie is so full of innacurracy that I know people who went to the sequel just for a laugh. Apparently its not a comedy?

Anyway, just as long as the 15 year rule doesnt result in copious amounts of R32's on the road ill be happy :( You can keep your R33's boys :P

LOL @ Rev210 .... it better be a summer day guys because the chicks dont wear much .... now to just find some demin cutoff shorts and carry some speedcones around to place down on the road so u guys can race :P

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
