HO HO HO , did someone post that they are going to drive the car once just to get a 10 second time slip and then not bother again? HO HO HO

Firstly I hope the person has driven a 10 second car before, 'cause it ain't that easy. I reckon it will take quite a few stuffed launches until they get one right. Add that to the requirement for 3 perfectly timed and executed gearchanges on each run. I have seen novices try 20 runs over 4 weeks before they got one right. It gets harder the higher powered the car, the narrower the power band and the traction circle gets smaller between bog and wheelspin.

Secondly I don't know anybody that has done a 10 and then put it away, you always come back for more. Otherwise there is no blood in your veins.

Whats gunna happen then? Gunna race your mates on the streets? If you have a 10 second car then you should use it, otherwise you might as well not own it, it's wasted.

Now I think about it, your right. A mate has a 'AUTO' 10sec street XE falcon, & even he get's someone else to drag it. And he's built it all from scrath over the past 3years...hmmm is it really that hard???

He's also never ending in finding the next thing to perfect on the car. He's just upgraded his Garret 700hp, to some new Garret capable of 1000hp.

PS: He's the one that SWEARS by Water Injection into the manifold. So much so, he keeps it close to his bible..:P

just quickly for sydneykid, once you ran a 10 dont the stretch you have to retire your car till you have full roll cage, cams licence and what not, like i said im gonna run it get my time slip and see how i go from their. just remember the more you race the more chances there are of something leting go..

QUOTE=why would you think its people like me that casue police harrasment, for 1 you have no idea who i am, for 2 if you had a car with only little balls you might fo out with a few cars for a cruise and some racing, but obviously your some sour puss that ownes a gemini and likes to keep it as stock as possible, so please keep your mouth shut if you havnt got a comment about the bonnet please, your making yourself out to be something your not, other than a complete pansy..[/quote......

Moved here from the "question about carbon fibre bonnet" thread as this seems more appropiate thread.

nicknick: I think its people like you that cause police harrasment for all us import performance car drivers because....

You drive a VERY high profile Jap high performance car ( "10 seccond GTR") and you mention more than once that you enjoy street racing, you leave off your front plate because you are a street racer and you imply that you are not averse to trying to get away if cought by police.

These activities are are among those seen by the general public, police and state governments as "hooning" and the harrassment by police in all states of all young people driving modded import cars is a direct reaction to this. Rightly or wrongly we all get tarred with the same brush.

If you can't see this then I guess you are thicker than I allready assumed you were.

ps I haven't got a Gemini but do have a stock as a rock Camry, is this just as good?? :(

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
