Finally got some web space so I can put these pics up. They are fairly Hi-res so dial-up users grab your panties. There pics were a result of rain, oil and bad tyres. One thing I can’t stress enough is keep an eye on your tyres. There had plenty of meat on them but were waaaay to old and hard (cracked around the walls) and as a result were like ice skates in the wet. Should have could have but didn’t change em.

Pics taken 21st May 2003

Yeah was a while ago now. Was the ONLY day I ever drove my car to work as I had a expo in the city latter that day and I thought it would be nicer to drive than the Daewoo. Had a boot full of Hard disks and CR-RW Drives too! Anyways it had just started to spit as I left work, it had been dry for about 4 or 5 days now.

I caught the lights about 100 meters down the road and when I took off I noticed the wheels spun as soon as I touched the pedal and I was driving like my Mum. The lights led up to a long left hand sweeping corner and I was doing about 50-60ish as I’d just taken off. As I exited the corner the arse end of the car decided it wanted to keep going and kicked out to the right.

First I though “Oh sh*t this is going to cane my rims but to my surprise it jumped straight over the gutter with ease. As soon as hit the grass it was over. All I could do was watch the pole, then the tree race towards the car and what you see was the result. Had the tyres tested after the accident and I was told they were a disgrace. He was surprised I could get traction in the wet at all.

Anyways the car damage was medium. The engine was fine but it had damaged the right hand chassis rail. Was quoted 22k in parts alone (New parts from Nissan of course) and the car was only insured for 29k so it was a repairable write off. I ended up selling the car for 10k after buying it back for 8k plus the insurance so it worked out ok in the end but was one big nightmare let me tell you! Oh yeah and I was fine apart from a mushy nose and bad nerves when people drive like Di*k heads I the wet because you NEVER know what can happen. :D

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
