Are you for real... We've had enough discussion about heal + toe..... :)

Hardly enough. My heel and toe is your limiter and gate, there will never be enough of it for me ;)

I noticed this as well.. Considering the engine in my car when it came out, had 75kw @ the flywheel, 26 years later I'm tipping its making a lot less.

With drive train losses I'm putting it at about 30-40rwkw at the moment!

My long wang runs couldn't have been any faster, i was driving the pants off it, and yet I'm way down the field.

also that first battle was very high-power friendly!!

But hey... there is many more-powerful cars below me so I am happy....

Sucks to be you guys :D

:D:P:banana::banana:

My AE86 only has about 70kw at the wheels And I seem to come around 25th every time. I haven't seen what place I came this time yet as I can't seem to get the damn file open but I'm guessing I came around that again lol

The lighter weight of my car helps me keep a higher speed through those tighter corners as well as a shorter breaking distance. When it comes to the long wang though, I don't have the power to get up to speed so my best times are around the 1.00s to 1.05s mark :(

DECA is not the place to run-in a freshly reconditioned gearbox, unless you want it to last 2 days and find out you voided the warranty in several ways / lied about the use of said gearbox during your warranty claim :D

What warranty?

so you pay for a gearbox outright to find my one had been reco'ed and sent back!

Also if you have a problem with me voicing my opinion on bad dealings maybe you should speek to me?

I take it that this is your business?

The process was made clear to your mechanic and the warranty is clearly explained on his invoice from us - if you had some communication problems with him then that is not a just reason to state "Kilsyth is not the place to buy a gearbox". You shot yourself in the foot by saying this in a DECA wrap up thread which evidences you using the thing for motorsport - no one in their right mind will warranty mechanical components for motorsport use. Did you see third gear / what was left of it?

Anyway, don't want to enter a forum shitfight - as far as I'm concerned our business with you was/is long done - just thought I'd put up the second side of the story so as not to mislead people with your comments.

You're welcome LOL sorry mate. For what it's worth I reckon that's a fair result considering your power. Focus on all the cool and fast cars that you beat, that's what I do :glare:

loved the sound of your car though mate, so you win in my books if that helps lol.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
