actually erin I was having a similar problem with mine a while ago couldn't figure out what it was. At the top of third full throttle it was as if it was misfiring. Never did figure out what it was. Still has that screaming sound though. Meh I'll get it fixed eventually.

Charly, I'll let you know what's wrong with mine. I'm hoping it's somehting simple like the fuel being changed. My car never liked running on ultimate in the first place. But i thought I'd try it again. Someone did mention water being in the fuel? or the TPS being sticky. It seems to be ok on WOT, it's just when you are cruising along that it chucks a spaz. It's really annoying me. Feels like I'm actually driving a tractor now.

erin,

my 33's got nothing on my old ca18det silvia for faults. That thing was fu(ked as. It would stall if I ran the aircon. Yes stall driving along at 60kph. I only had it for 10 months and the list of stuff that screwed up on that car was as long as my arm.

My favorite was when the sunroof got jammed open when it was pouring. Sooooo not funny.

I figured the car stuttering thing was my clutch going. might have just been some dodgy fuel as there is nothing wrong with my clutch.

it's been ages since I got on here and whored. The only reason I'm on here is that I really can't be bothered doing any work and I have to wait until at least 6pm before leaving work.

On the upside all the stock I was waiting on has come in this week. Woot.

Sinbad stalls at sets of lights when coming to a stop. The revs just drop and keep dropping till it's stalled.  

Somethings seriously wrong here.

:confused: Mine had that problem but I had the stock ecu and a (totally rad sounding) bov with an extremley loose and not adjustable spring. An adjustable plumback one that might I add sounds about 100x less cool fixed that problem.

I really must wind out that spring sometime.

just a question, does this happen when you have the aircon off? or all the time?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
