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 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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
