mines snow performance. its got a MAP sensor in the control box under the bonnet, when it hits XX psi it starts injecting and by XX its on full so it ramps up the pump based on boost so you arent injecting silly amounts all the time.

water meth injection, its not expensive and gives similar/same results as using E85.

And E85 is cheaper then regular ULP when you buy it at the pump... Runs cooler... You only have to worry about keeping one tank topped up... No extra weight...

Remember, WMI also increases your compression again... So if you go super high CR, you're at risk of bending shit.

i am not saying E85 is a bad fuel but in Canberra you cant get it at the petrol station and you cant get it in Goulburn, there is not enough demand for it to be put in considering the relatively small spread out population when you look at Melbourne with 2 stations covering the whole place.

E85 does have negatives too, it uses 30% more for the same power figure (which brings it inline with 98 prices), requires a much larger fuel system to support it, it cant be left for too long as it absorbs water (granted petrol also goes off if left too long), have to keep an eye on your oil as it can contaminate it if the engine isn't running long enough to get the oil up to temp.

WMI with a sufficiently sized tank (like my 9.5L tank) can go for months without checking (street driving though 9.5L is still a lot for track driving) even the smaller tanks last a fairly long time unless you have your foot in it everywhere you drive. WMI also cools the intake charge like E85 does and when setup correctly you can even go so far as to run 91ron petrol and still make good power. (in some cases remove the intercooler completely as well)

there is a new project for you when you are done with the supra steve, 4wd twin turbo V8 skyline.

Haha that would be pretty special! Someone has done that in an r33 gtr in Europe, I think. It was Denmark?

Next for me is the Ultima, v8, 7.3L, 990kg

Nah nothing as exotic, Eagle stroker in an LS Chevrolet block

Now you mention the Zonda motor I'll look up specs just for a laugh

It will have the lightest rotating assembly as possible though

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • 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
