Hey everyone, my brother is doing up his datsun 1600 with a worked 1.8L engine and I myself, am considering buying an R34 GT Skyline (n/a). So my question is, would i win when we drag each other off the lights? (theoretically) :D . (remember i own the r34.).

(note. the datsun weights 980 kg (or somethin like tha)t and the skyline weighs 1400kg (that's not real accurate i know lol). My bro's datsun puts out 80kw of power.

Luke.

Thanks in advance.

lol sh*****t thread, and I'd DEFINITELY go the Datto over a N/A Skyline. If his has 80rwkw and 900kg that's pretty good power to weight ratio.

To put this in perspective, the gf's 1200 with 35rwkw will go tearing past 5 litre V8s at the green light grand prix up to say 50km/h or 3rd gear ;)

would i win when we drag each other off the lights?

I hadn't yet seen the line up of events for this year's Special Olympics. Didn't realise they'd added this one.

Yep, and then at the next snap into 4th you're going to be doing the speed limit anyway, and the oh so thrilling "drag race" comes to a halt unless you're mentally retarded :D

Is is school holidays somewhere? It's not in Brisbane... what's going on with the rest of the country?

lol yeah thats right, its good fun though, I reckon it would have better 0-50 acceleration than my turbo Skyline quite easily too.

I know this because when I had a V8, I'd always get chomped by Datsuns, which would always back off at 60 lol.

These days I don't bother (and because I'd be going over the limit in my car before it really started to go anywhere).

and yeah pointless thread, in summation, Datsun > later model Nissan at the Green Light Grand Prix based on the scientific evidence I have assembled.

LOL, a guy i used to work with had a 1200 ute and he used to be in 3rd gear by the time he got across the traffic lights, although he was only doing about 40km/h, LOL

but tell him to ditch the 1.8L and get a worked L20. can get around 115-120kw out of them if you don't mind replacing headgaskets at every oil change, LOL

Really? so my 40rwkw 780kg kit car won't be that slow after all :)

It would appeat that you will be sitting behind the Datsuns wishing your Mazdabater was that quick...

In answer to your question how long is a piece of string?

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
