Hey,

The 3rd episode was on Friday nite at 8pm (as it is every week). The show had massive potential, until Ian Luff was made the head honcho because he praises everyone through the event cheering and saying how brilliant their cars are but then smacks them down at the end saying they are pathetic and car can't handle and has too much power yadda yadda.

<cut cut>

Andrew in the 200SX spends more time in the workshop than the track and at best will finish the show in last position.

I actually watched the first episode and parts of it were good but what really confused me was when he was driving around the skidpan and his ratings afterward.

I thought the ratings were handling based because he knocked the big V8's for lack of handling, and even the Ferrari and complimented the Torana because he could control it with the accelerator.

But then he got the 200SX through with a really quick time and pretty good handling, complimented it and got to the review and put it nearly last for that event!

The rating system makes no sense to me, most of the cars are pretty impressive though.

still think luff is a tool. the show was moderately interesting, i'd like to know how people can afford to twin turbo a 360 though!

probably won't bother looking out for it again, it just didn't grab me. the first drag "challenge" was a waste of time, anyone who is still frying tyres at half track isn't taking it seriously.

seems to me like it's just an excuse for luff to indulge himself, and the car owners to get their moment in the spotlight so they can show off and have people stroke their ego.

Ive seen all the episodes.And i must say none of them can drive.They just put their foot to the floor and expect the car to do the rest.6 out of the 7 drivers spun in the motokana.Even with Ians instuctions they still spun.

So they all deserved the caining that Luffy dished out.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
