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.

      Just get rid of the orignal low impedance injectors, replace with modern high impedance injectors, and you won't need the resistors. Wire direct, as per any other engine.

      Tao, we're not talking about the ECU boost ref. We're talking about the wastegate signal source.

      Belt flex under throttle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Flapping up and down is a consequence of the varying pull on the belt. When the engine speed is suddenly increased, the tension in the belt increases too. When that engine accel changes to decel, the tension is reduced and turns up as a little extra length of beltes between the pulling and dragging pulleys. That extra length flaps up, then down. There's all sorts of other harmonic stuff going on too.

      RB26 swapped gtst

      By r33.antwone · Posted

      hello ladies and gentlemen so i’ve swapped a rb26dett into my r33 gtst and ive come across many speed bumps but its nearly over what im having issues with is the injector resistor box that are normally on the RB26 fuse box but im still using my rb25 fuse box and as a result my injectors aren’t getting power and is the last thing i need to figure out so the car can start. can anyone help me out on where i can find a wiring diagram for the rb26 harness to see where the injectors are supposed to receive power

      The boost pressure at the compressor cover will be higher than at inlet manifold. lets say, trying to hold 20 psi flat at 7000 RPM. If your wastegate opens at 20 psi measured at the compressor cover, the engine may only be seeing 16 psi. Your base pressure reading at engine would be 20psi by 4K and 16psi by 7K while your MAP at compressor housing still reads 20psi at 7K. For this reason your ECU's MAP source is never on the compressor cover. This difference isn't a major concern if you're using an electronic boost controller (EBC).
