hahah we used to go through 1500L of diesel in around 6 hours in the Tanks when I was in the army, 1500hp + 60Tonnes = Bad economy lol

that would be comparable to a commercial plane right? have to be close...

Spoke to Yavuz last night.

Steve, he mentioned you had issues with the CAS when the big power runs were being done about 6000 rpm? Did you just leave it or did you do that harmonic balancer thingo? He said its about 2K to do... Not too keen on that!

Yeah bloody hell that was annoying. It still made 400rwkw by 5000rpm though lol

The problem was the signal to the ECU. The balancer thing he's got is the way to go without a doubt though, i tried to do it the way SAS do it (who said they'd done it to hundreds of cars etc), and that was a complete waste of money and time. Hindsight is a prick, in hindsight i wouldve got the balancer Yavuz sells and been done with it.

End result? Wasted $550 on a sensor that hardly works and can rev to 8000rpm. I used to love wringing its neck higher but not anymore until i get one of those balancers from him, and I will do that one day but to be realistic its putting down enough power by 8000rpm anyway. How far did you want to rev to?

Yeah well if it comes down to it i will do it. But seriously I am so sick of spending money on this thing. Haha. I have never heard of this issue before.... either here or on the pommy forum. Could it be something to do with the 30 block and being taller then the 26 block? The extra length on the timing belt flopping around? Maybe?

I have my limiter set to 8500 just so i dont hit it and I never rev it harder then 8 on the Nismo dash. Yavuz did spin it to 9 when he tuned it 12 months ago and it was still making over 370 rwkw... which was it's peak just over 5K (i think).

take it to 9krpm stevo & paul :P

Shush you! haha. 8 is enough. I still have the junk arse N1 oil pump in mine. Its done 20,000 kms....I would hate to smash it to bits and cost me a engine!

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
