What is it like driving a car that takes until 5k before the power really kicks hard? Is it annoying on the street or is there still plenty of meat below 5k? Looks like a solid 200kw at 4k, does it feel good at the lower revs?

It might give that figure on the dyno but I can tell you now i reach fullboost on the road ALOT earlier then whatever it says on that sheet!

It feels fine.... You have to remember a stock GTR makes what.... 180 or 200 kw at the wheels stock.... It might only feel like it has "not much" because 1000 RPM later your making almost double that! To drive around in traffic is no worries at all.

If they made them yeah. :banana:

looks like they make em too me mate, :)

285/30/18 only prob you would have is finding wheels with the right offset to fit 285 under 32 guards.....

What offset is required (say for 18 x 10's or 10.5's)? +18 or +22?

Other wise 265/35's might be the way to go?

you can stick 285 on a 9" or 9.5"

def not +18 i got 18x10 +18 on my car, the biggest i think ill fit under it is a 265, as the lip of the rim hangs out past the guard.

id say +22 or bigger, even +22 it would be close, on a 32R it would def need some guard work, you can fit 285s on a 10inch wheel no worries dont no about a 9inch but.

Get your TPS sorted Steve?

Dude, what a day. Started off not getting any sleep last night. Then on the way there in the rain in rwd it was SO difficult to stop it spinning the rears. Too much low end torque, seriously I was counter steering just trying to get away from a set of lights at less than normal speed. There was a hill start on king georges road-it just slowly moved the rear to the left every time I tried to get up the hill. Sounds fun, was frustrating. Ended up starting in 2nd which was still spinning but it made it up the hill. Stupid rain.

Got the tps, $95 and the thing is tiny. Ripoff.

THEN the autronic has a Fu(kout and needs two sensors replaced. Which means sending it away for repairs (not the first time it's been broken), it's got a problem with the map sensor and the water temp sensor. It thinks, for some reason, it thinks the water temp isn't going higher than 50 degrees eventhough it's at 70 something. And the map sensor now reads 1.5bar as 2bar and the boost cut is set at 1.9bar so it's unable to rev out cause the boost cut stops it. And it thinks it's still not warm enough so it wont let you rev high anyway (autronic feature).

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

PFC for the WIN :)

or if you really wanna get a high tech ecu get a microtech :banana: lol jokes.

deano we could run the 285s but just have to raise our cars just a tad..... like 70 mm atleast.

im soooo keen for e85, come on gossy caltex hurry up and finish the tank works :D

Yavuz just rang me, he's trying something and is about to take it for a drive. I hope he's leaned it off otherwise it doesn't have enough fuel to go around the block. Had half a tank about 60ks ago

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
