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 :)

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
