Is My Car Impossible To Make Faster!?

[Rolls]

What mods did the car have?

Full 2.5 straight through exhaust with split pulse dump pipe no cat or mufflers, FMIC, pod and had coilpacks replaced. Was running 12psi without a boost controller due to the free flowing exhaust.

Thats your experience. I used PFC, stock ecu, 2x Mines ECU and about to try NISTUNE.

MINES ECU was excellent, nothing bad about my personal experience with using mines ecu. ran 13.3 with shit tires, car went nice n hard, thrashed it. never missed a beat, even in 38c degree heat when i took it to heathcote.

The issue with the Mines is quite simple. It is not user tunable just as you can't tune a stock ecu. You can tune with a PFC or Nistune (or a Link/ViPec, Motec, etc ).

I don't think anyone is under the impression that a Mines is programmable.

The comparison isn't being made between a Mines and a programmable ECU, it's being made between a Mines and a stock ECU. As soon as you do mods to an engine the stock ECU is no longer matched to the job just as a Mines is not matched to the job if it's an off the shelf variety.

It seems very few people who have used a Mines ECU have actually had issues and it's merely here-say and innuendo that suggests they are crap.

Isn't a mines ECU exactly the same as a stock ECU, it just has a different epprom in it for the maps?

[adamskill]

loose the mines ecu, and have a bit of a think about your priorities. you stated that there were leaks that needed fixing that you knew about, yet instead of getting them fixed rite away, you go on a wayward mission to make your car faster.

just a quick question for you to honestly think about mate. what gives better quarter mile times, track times, or a generally "faster" car? is it the extra 5-10kw from basic bolt on mods on an otherwise standard car, or is it decent tyres, and correct wheels, or driver skill or perhaps suspension that is not warn out and 15 years old??

i have no idea what you car is like, but im guessing that upgrading things that arent entirely mechanical will improve how your car performs.

so my car is in impound and i might loose my licence.

might keep the car might not depending on how much its gona cost in court and if i keep licence or not.

i wanted the exact info i got from the tuner when i went in and got it tested. then i said in this thread exactly what i was gona do. theres no need to carry on about ecu's or whatever because i found the problems for why my car wouldnt go faster.

and it is because of the o2 sensor that im burning up so much fuel especially when im not on full throttle and getting barely any power out of it. since when do people drive around on full throttle non stop? i want my car to perform under whatever acceleration not just at full throttle.

but i have way bigger problems now so i might re name this thread 'a symptom of r&r' or something like that.

and btw the full mods on my car are as stated above for the engine and lowered on new bilstien shocks with new cobra springs and 17inch 215 's with a heap of tread on them which are pretty grippy. standard 4 pot and 2 pot brakes

mines ecu is absolutely fine as i stated before the basic map for it is tuned better then the standard ecu.

LOL.

No offense mate, but I for one am happy you never had the chance to make your car faster. Clearly too much for you to handle on the roads as it is. Good luck

rofl.

[Rolls]

I lol, what did you do to manage to get your car impounded? Must have been doing something pretty outrageous lol.

long time listener, first time called.

This thread has been comedy since day one, can a mod please lock this?

[jordanlisa69]

cop saw my car doin a snakey in second. didnt get the driver tho coz he didnt pull the car up. so might be able to get off it. cops here are stupidly insane on cars like mine because of all the boyracer crap thats happened over here. so they see 2 seconds of action, car gets taken away, licence and all your money pretty much.

and glad i didnt get the chance to make it faster? whys that?

[jordanlisa69]

ohhhh you think im a sack who cant handle a car. never had a crash drifting. never lost control of a car. only on the track have i spun my skyline out. and that was once. and i never went off the track. drivin much faster cars then mine a lot better then their owners.

so you meaning i cant handle a car orrrrrr i shouldnt be boosting on the road?

You talk like a 17 year old who just got their Ps, that is why you are copping flack.

i see. well i am 19 so your close. how old are you? are you saying im not mature enough to own a skyline?

[Trozzle]

Firstly, I (and I'm sure everyone else) assumed you had your car impounded because of something YOU did, which is why you shouldn't be allowed on the streets.

Even now that you've cleared that up, you sound like an inexperienced moronic P plater. Have fun.

I still hope you don't get your car back.

Was just stating the obvious, nothing more.

[defari]

birds of a feather..

Instead of gaining up on the Poster, maybe suggest some positive comments and/or suggestions, and than its up to the original poster weather or not he/she wants to listen to the advice. The typical "lets gang up and make fun of him/her" is a bit outdated and is not fun to read anymore. Not everyone here is 50 years of age, and not everyone is perfect. Lets try to help each other, and if the OP doesn't listen, simply dont write anything. my 2c anyway.

Read the whole thread if you haven't, most people in the beginning gave advice and/or constructive criticism, partly in the way of telling him he's a bit stupid.

Exactly my point mate, not everyone is an Einstein on here. Some people do have stupid ideas but help 'em out if you want, but indirectly calling them stupid is not right either.

[JonnoHR31]

tried helping. everyone giving good advice was told their wrong simply because the OP's personal opinion was the opposite of what most of us know as fact
