My best et was 13.888 with a 2.6s 60' @ 110mph. my best TS was 111.4mph with a 14.06s et but with a 2.7s 60'. So it wasnt a great night for traction. I think the key to a good time is slicks, or semi slicks like nitto's. I was dumping the clutch around 3000-4000 and it seemed to hookup well, but with the bigger turbo its just not making any decent HP in 1st, so I was short shifting into 2nd. Either way I think the car will get a better time if someone else drives it. I might get steve or dave to have a go.

Mate read my post did I say anywhere in it I was trying to drift? I didnt see a roundabout because 1 street light was out, there was no median strip or give way sign. I locked the brakes up before the roundabout, went sideways through it as I tried to steer around it and hit the kerb on the other side. Mate considering what happened I think I did a good job to avoid the light poles and signs that were there and managed to do bugger all damage to the car. Just spoke to the smash repairs and it just seems the side skirt is stuffed and the tyre, no suspension damage is visable (control arms, strut braces, springs all look fine) wont know till the cars balanced and aligned. Best you shut your mouth mate.

anyone that was at lastnights drags or the wednesday's before would probably seen the damage to my front spoiler... only gonna cost me $330 for a re-resin and fibreglass and a respray but none the less it is a paint in the ass...

the condition of our roads (especially around the freo area) is fkin pathetic as well as the light pole being out (like rob's problem)

it doesnnt take much to loose the back end of your car from a dodgey bit of road and as you guys know pot holes make your side skirts and front bar cry....

till this day i wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat screaming oh my god pot holes and kerbs are BAD!!!

sorry to hear about that rob....

erik, fkin trevs...

Dude, was just pointing out how your always quick to point the finger at a boyracer for mashing his car, when it can happen to anyone.... chill... Meant nothing by it really.. :)

needless to say you must've been going pretty fast to end up sideways over a roundabout :P lucky it's only superficial damage hey...

sometimes the boyracer thinks it's cool to say he was "drifting" while he hosed his car, when he probably was just going a little too fast :P

I think he was just having a friendly dig rob but if you want to look at facts, why not?

You said you avoided the signs and lights. lights plural. but only 1 light was out, so some light was there yes? Also what about your headlights? Were they on?

Did they not light up the roundabout? Not even the signs around the roundabout you skillfully managed to avoid? Surly the headlights gave you enough warning? After all

70km’s is about 13M thinking Distance and 26M stopping for the average car. I’m sure Skylines would be a bit quicker.

Granted there could be a lot of variables. dirt on road; camber; blind corner potholes etc.

I know you were the only guy there but no one is here is an angel. ( I know I’ve seen most of you..but no halos :P )

I’m sorry for your loss and hope your ok as well as the car but if you were a bit spirited, just take the joke on the chin.

I:E take it the way you’d expect others to take one from you.

Karma goes along way brother…

I think its fair to say the car wasnt going fairly quick and I am a lucky bastard due to the lack of damage to the car. I'll take some photo's of the side-skirt when I get the chance, the rim involved is also fine... unfortunately the tyre has gone to a better place :P after suffering major sidewall damage :P ah well, 18" rims going on the rear tomorrow with some new rubber. Reading your original text I would be hard pressed to find any tongue in check or friendly dig, btw.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
