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

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
