Did you check the muffler bearings? Also, last time i was in your car; there was definitely a loose nut behind the steering wheel...

Haven't updated for a while not that I've really done much to it lately but did take it out to SMSP South Circuit again and managed to knock off another second off my lap time with a 1:08.26.

Tell me about it...almost as bad as injectors cutting out when switching fuel on the move...and having no power for 20 sec!!

redline cut out ??? ROFL

Yep...had Liquid Injection LPG installed in my car...was running ok but after it being tuned to make 250awkw I'm having issues switching fuel on the move. Sometimes when it switches I hit some sort of fuel cut and it takes a little while for the gas system to deliver enough juice to get the engine going...at best it'll splutter and slow down...at worst it'll stall.

Had it happen on the freeway once...NOT FUN!!!

just keep the Gas tank topped up? lol aren't you happy with 250kw on gas? i think its insane!

or you could just continue to run e85. couldnt believe i filled up a whole tank for $65

Its obviously not a full tank mate. You sender sounds a bit weird, it was doing the same thing on the dyno remember. No wonder you have been complaining about low Km's from a tank...

Hmm what do u mean?

I get this issue even with a full tank...I think. Its pretty random, doesn't happen all the time. Now I just sit until it switches to gas then start driving...not a huge deal I suppose!

I'll get the gas installer to check it out...

sender? the thing that reads the level of fuel???

yeh im gonna go buy a jerry, and actually let it completely run out. and see what actually happens. - but in saying that it is abit strange coz the tank said empty when we did the fuel pump, and there was still quite abit of fuel in there.

the fuel pump assembly is $400 though from nissan. but i think that includes the pump.

but i filled up about 50 litres at the pump. does that sound right?

yeh lol i just realised that.

i think something may be wrong with the level thing in the tank..

it was doing it on the dyno aswell.. as if someone had added fuel to the tank.

maybe my cars haunted.

The ethanol may clean the carbon tracks, otherwise you may have to change the sender if you want it fixed.

Dude, that looks fcuking factory...how long did it take you to make that?

You'd make a nice profit selling these on here :whistling:

Is it lined with rubber up top?

took me fricken ages (a period over 3 days....... probly 8hrs)

first a carboard template of the bottom (airbox etc) , then a carboard template of the bonnet (top).

made the final one out of 0.9mm metal, put the rubber strip on the top.......... then to finish it off rubbed vaso on the rubber and closed the bonnet, any highs would leave vaso on the bonnet and tweaked it untill perfect :)

rubber ontop of the metal strip but no rubber on the bonnet......... could use some foam with double sided tape on the bonnet but i dont think there is a need to.

rubber intop of the metal strip but no rubber on the bonnet......... could use some sponge with double sided tape on the bonnet but i dont think there is a need to.

Given you now have a custom prototype.. replicate it! http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Your-Own-Prototypes-%3a-How-to-make-your/ there may be better tutorials for making vacuum molds etc just an idea though. Id buy one too :)

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
