i like corners! but sometimes i feel like spending all the money on power instead of looking at handling when someone else in the same car smokes me at the lights! :P

I do.

That's why I have a Peugeot 205 GTI as well. It is more fun than the GTR in the twisty hills near me. The GTR feels too wide and heavy and always makes me feel like I'm driving too slow... until I look at the speedo. The Pug doesn't sound as good and against a stop watch it is slower over the same roads, but I can drive it much closer to its limits and not worry about killing myself because of one mistake.

Different cars with different personalities for different moods. Cruising in the Bentley was something altogether different again.

Regarding :I want more power . Who doesn't . LOL 292rwks isn't enough for me , I want more , more I tell you . Slap , the wife slaps me across the back of the head. I want another WRX , pergola , solar heating for pool etc , etc .

There goes that idea. :)

Good luck with the power thirst because it only gets worse. :P

MMMMMMMM new 35GTR MMMMMMMMM R34GTR dddddrrrooooooooollllll.

Because all we want after doing mods , is a newer version of our cars so we can suffer more power cravings . ;)

One of the problems with living in the western world is the need to accumulate stuff!!

When we finally get it we realize we need a bigger fix (bit like a druggie).

One thing's for certain though, life will pass you by and you won't take it with you.

lol.........I just read this back and I sound like my old man.........maybe he's smarter than I thought!!

ive dealt with jeff and he is awsome to work with, he tuned my 180 to perfection, i got nothing bad to say about shaun at all, its just ive used jeff and he did a awsome job! u mean all type crash that would be hayden, ive heard nothing but good from those guys, also i have used eagle paint n panel on old port road great workmanship there also!

im looking for a new car at the moment, not sure deep down i want another fd, but a 32 gtr n dirt bike would be cheaper haha

LOL that is SO true ahahaha... im going down pt wakefield doin 90 feels like im doing 60.. -,-'

but u did 260 and got gunned lollies :P

One thing's for certain though, life will pass you by and you won't take it with you.

thats right, enjoy it while u still can

cant take the $ with you

what about me :P faster than sinista :(

I believe you, got it on video :D

dan denied it tho' "sif film it when I didn't launch"

i like corners! but sometimes i feel like spending all the money on power instead of looking at handling when someone else in the same car smokes me at the lights! :)

i might add i went from a dato to this car, so half pressing the accelarator feels nutz to me :)

i dont have any probs at the lights, its rare i find something even up to scratch. mind you i prob don't drive as much as the rest of you guys as i catch the train to work, and 4wd gives me a major advantage on any car with simmilar power.

I feel the same sometimes aswell, wether it be an MX5, an FC or SW20, they all seem enticing, maybe when my daily runs itself into the ground I will get one, until then im still saving for a 2nd skyline.

I find in the hills with my wagon, what it doesnt have power wise in the straights, it makes up in the corners cos im less worryied about crashing it :ermm: and it seems less wide then the DR30 for some reason.

nice nice danny. gotta take my beast in on saturday.

so i was just wondering so long as we are on the topic. fuel pumps - wat size 550cc? and can i do it my self?

I think you're thinking of injector size.

Get a walbro fuel pump ($160 from here/NS.com, A Sard fuel reg ($180 delivered from nengun) and get the ECU remapped for 14 PSI

should crack 190 odd quite easily. Hoping for over 200 with the same setup on my car.

i used to be the biggest fan of the walbro's... but i would no longer recommend them. had a few failures from genuine units.. its not worth risking an engine over. Spend 30-40 bucks more and buy a bosch pump and be done with it.

Dont waste your time with a FPR either, you'll run into rail pressure and injector failure issues over time on a street car ( i run one for now but upgrading my injectors very soon)

exhaust

cooler

RB25 turbo

remap

1 bar boost

fuel pump

= around 200 rwkw, dont worry if its 190 or less... it all depends on the health of the motor and turbo combo.

theres some freak combos out there... Ev with the white r31 for example made 183 rwkw with a RB20 turbo on his... and the above supoorting mods. Jeff tuned it :banana:

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
