Hi all, i own a V35 250GT, and i went to a motorsport fun day in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I live in Botswana and i'm a Zim citizen. Anyway they were having some drags so i thought i'd enter my vehicle. The other enthusiast's were all very interested in my car as they had never seen a V35 Skyline before and they weren't sure what Nissan it was but the minute i said it was a Skyline there eyes lit up and i had to show them the engine etc. The other cars there were my uncles 13B Rotary's , 2 Nissan Pulsar's one a 300GTI and the other a 2LT both 4wd MA, a bug eye subaru, 2 chev lumina's SS, lotus 7 , Nissan champ and the list can go on. I rolled up to the line and my uncle was next to me in his Rotary and when the flag dropped the race was on,foot flat but nothing exciting was happening it was as if i was on a Sunday drive down to the shop's wanting to buy some bread and milk for my work sambo's. I wasn't to impressed, on the open road put your foot down and she drops to second and she changes at 6500 with a snap into third and the speedo is climbing to about 150km/h and if you don't tap off the wife is starting to give you the eye ball otherwise she, the car, would want to carry on till the limiter kick's in at about 185km/hr after changing into fourth at about 165km/hr. So that impresses me but on the strip well i might as well park it in the pit's and let her see what she's missing out on. I know she's Auto but even in Triptronic with the POWER button light on she only get's to about 130km/hr at the 1/4 mile finish line and with Auto and NORMAL selected i only get to around 120km/hr at the 1/4 mile finish line. So is this norm or what, have i got to high a wieght oil in the engine,which i have no clue what's in there as i recently bought it from a local importer or do i have to much oil in the autobox hence maybe one of the two is causing resistance. I did change the Air filter so i don't think that's the cause but i'm open to suggestion's.

Regard's RWG.

You said 250gt?

The 2.5litre will never rip the strip, at least not without turbo hanging off the side like the stagea owners get.

Heck even the 350gt is hard to get into the 13s with alot of boltons.

Hi all thanks for the replies, at least now i know there isn't a fault or something wrong with my car, it just means it's not a GODZILLA but still a nice comfortable car to drive.

Hi thats great to know, do you have a diagram that i can folllow so that i know that i,m cutting the correct wire. This won,t affect the computer in any bad way will it? Have you done this to your 350GT?

I was kidding about the purple wire comment. I think the only way to remove the speed limiter is via an aftermarket ECU...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
