Hi guys,

I own an 06 auto skyline.

I was wondering if you guys have the same problem.

When I step on the accelerator from a stopped position I feel that the power delivered to my rear wheels aren't always the same...

Sometimes I feel a split second lag... sometimes it is much more responsive...

I've noticed that it launches more consistently when I'm in drive, with VDC switched off. Whereas on a GOOD day the semi auto's 1st gear launches alot harder... On a BAD day however, the semi auto launch isn't as good...

To be more precise, sometimes I can hear my tyres screeching (Good day) and I feel more stronger pull. But this isn't the case all the time...

my 0-100km/h ranges from roughly 5.9 - 6.9 (stop watch times not precise) depending on how well the launch is...

usually in drive, I've been averaging around 6.2 I think...

Do any of you guys have the same problem? i.e. through mods? ECU?

if so, is there a way to fix this problem?

p.s. I have no mods, it's stock.

your reply would be appreciated ;)

So many factors. It could be down to road temperature, road surface, air temperature. Try to test it on the same piece of road in the same conditions and see if you still get varying results.. Also a/c on/off might contribute..

Looks like you are after performance mods. ;)

1. Cat-back exhaust

2. Pod-filter or K&N panel filer

3. Motordyne plenum spacers

4. Grounding kit

5. Light wieight rims with semi-slick tires

6. Aftermarket suspension (Lowered)

7. Aftermarket brakes

These should see you get extra 10-20rwkw.

If not satisfied, turbocharge or supercharge is the go. :)

Thanks for your reply ~

what does the grounding kit do?

and what are these?

sorry, i'm a noob on the mechanical side of the car

Thanks for your reply, it is much appreciated

Air temperature is a new one !

on the same road it is little bit better.

I was referring to the actual power to my rear wheels, cos if I still get the same power I would be getting wheel spins if i lack grip right?

Hi mate,

1. Installing a grounding kit claims for HP increases and "smoother shifting".

2. Aftermarket pod filters are said to improve performance and fuel consumption, It also sound real grunty under the hood and gain a little power from NA engine.

Pod filters are illegal unless installed properly with heat shield.

K&N panel filter replaces the stock panel filter and it just helps more clean air for engine to breathe. It doesn't make much grunt or gain power as pod filter.

3. Basically, aftermarket plenum spacers (Brand : Motordyne) either increase the overall height of the stock plenum or remove the downward slope design of stock plenum, allowing more volume and greater airflow to all cylinders. Higher airflow is needed to achieve more power.

Hope these help. :thumbsup:

is that possible that the drive by wire not consistant .. this happens to my BMW X5 as well , if I push the X5 accelerator lightly before flooring it , it pulls very hard but if I floor it straight away at the light sometimes it doesn't give full power

My gt-8 accelerates hard from stop everytime as long as I push it all the way to the floor ... yeah :thumbsup:

^ exactly. The throttle motor has a slow ramp, especially if you are under 30kph. The M35 Stagea has a similar pita setup.

A good ecu reflash (like a Nismo ecu) will be the only way to fix it.

Thanks alot Victor,

you've been a great help !!

Thanks for your info,

but aren't ecu set-ups around 2.5k ??

Thanks alot Victor,

You are welcome, mate. Always a pleasure to help out a fellow V-series owner.

With the ECU reflesh, I can't help you as I don't know anything about it. :P But I am sure there will be someone you can.

Good luck. Enjoy your V. :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
