hmmm... interesting...

could it have been that I just posted Holdens_r_better because I was chatting to him at the time? Hmmm... oh well

Hey and that chatting to me about prices is for real too... and open to anyone because I can tell you exactly what it takes to build a 13 sec car for a $2000 mods budget..... it would be even easier if you started with a turbo...

In the conversation about turboing a non-turbo... well it is my opinion that it works very well in alot of cases... If you run too much boost in any car you will destroy it... however in most cases with non turbos a bit of smart tuning and sensible boost levels will result in excellent performance for the price...

As a mechanic (sportif) I thought you would realise that a turbo car relys on enthripy... if it is efficient with good tuning a turbo motor will last for years... Come and have a ride and look at mine... I promise you it works... to the tune of a 13 second pass... no problems... it has been together for 8mths now and other than breaking a waterpump it has been perfect...

as josh says go and talk to russell mason and ask him what exactly he has done to the internals of his Petrol Nissan Patrol... it is a non turbo motor making 300 rwhp... and it has now been doing that for 3 years... no dramas...

I really enjoy the challange of doing something that "guru's" say that you can't do... and this is one thing that us Spankers have mastered... turboing non-turbos is a speciality that we like...

again come talk to us... we've actually done it... not just said that "it doesn't work"...

but what would I know... I'm not a mechanic...

Hey all........ i bet you will all see my post and think... "oh sh*t... he found us..LOL...... coz really. thats what i am..... i just tag along............ i cant belive i read 9 pages of all of that.. its mostly about stoopid muppets.. and gonza is the best.. coz me and him share a big nose gene. LOL..... so yer........ i better start thinkion about gettiing a job to start saving for a car..learners this time next year..... but im sure if i still know all of you... i should be able to get something cheaper???????!!!!!!!!!LOL

Bye all

It was me, I believe, and it was in reference to someone who had no idea about how to service their own car and who they should get to do it. Not in regards to doing certain things that void factory warranty.

Now... let's stop the "He said, she said", please.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
