I'm sure many of you guys suffer from this too.

I mean do you ever think sometimes your car is running PISS slower?

Not regarding the weather as a factor.

You swear the temp is the same (cool night, low teens degrees),

But you swore your car ran hella faster the previous night, sometimes you think maybe your car is stuffed? blown turbo? but then you look at the boost gauge and it shows the correct boost.

Then the next night your car is fast again?

Are we going mental or may it just be the car f***ing with our mind? :D

yes every day i do it? why is the oil pressure a bit lower? how come temp is a lil high, whats that noise?

its bad!

another one is do you cringe when you see another fellow revving the date out of a stone cold engine, or when they are sitting there doing a cook at 8K for 10 minutes on an engine that should only be revved to maybe 6K at the most?? not to mention the axle and hub got so hot it melted the nuts and stubs. you get that shudder through your spine when you witness this kinda stuff

It's normal.

To me, my car is always slow and it lacks the response I'm used to.

You GROW INTO the speed of the car.

Trust me... drive a shitbox for a week, come back to the Skyline and see how it's like.

Everyone else who's been in my car usually needs to change their underwear and wipe the sweat off their brow once I'm done with them :D

Yeah, ive been running around the past few months on 10psi of boost since my engine rebuild, and it feels slow to me now (it doesnt feel like i get that shove back in the seat anymore). However passangers claim its one of the fastest cars they have been in. You just get used to the speed of the car and adjust to suit it.

And as for the noises im paranoid about that :Oops: whenever something makes a tiny rattle im like "oh my god whered that come from" or if a passanger says they hear something i start hounding them with questions as to when/where/what

haha Tony, the worst possible feeling in the world is after you have been driving something with power (R33 etc) then go and jump into a POS datsun bluebird that is on its last legs (has next to no compression), when you put your foot down and go nowhere its a worry, come to think of it i jumped into my mums v6 camry after driving my mates R33 and even that felt like something was wrong with it.

hehe outta sight outta mind

I like to keep my car clean too, feel like if i look after her she'l look after me ;)

lol

I think anyone with a car they love and spend time on will be the same, maybe not the V8s cos they make so much noise without going anywhere (oops did i say that!) so they cant hear any noises anyway

In a way being so observative is good, we will be able to pick something bad before it happens :)

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
