Lololol nope i just read it incorrectly man! Ignore my last comment haha

If you work on the suspension and tyres etc you should get some power to the ground, mine is gripping up hard in 3rd now which is good :yes:

Yep they sound real good! Love the whistle!

Awesome choice in ECU :D

That will suck if you have to get rid of it mate! Mine will stay in my possession forever if i get the choice... Too much money invested too let her go!

Yeah, suspension wise I've just got the pineapples and adjustable control arms (with the camber almost at zero), and with 275 Adrenalin's (at $700 each!!!) the grip isn't great... Shitloads of fun though. :P

Did your diff make a noticeable difference to traction?

I have always said that there's no point in selling it, and that I would like to track it one day, but if I move I'll be renting out my house here and renting an inner city apartment interstate, and they generally only come with one carpark - the fiance flatly refuses to drive my car since the mods (she drives a mirage :yucky: ) so unfortunately she has to come first. However, as I'm certainly not going to be driving a mirage around I think I've just about convinced her to let us get a 2005(ish) WRX as a compromise we can both live with... lol.

Pfft, what rubbish, I can drive a car slower than a mirage if I wanted too... I just don't want to :laugh:

Mat/Lithium, someone please explain the picture on the previous page? What is this? What does this do? Do I want this? Cos I'm about ready to whip out the soldering iron and put some bubbles on my turbine if it's gonna make me go faster.

Joking... But seriously. I wouldn't even know what to google with that :glare:

Mat didn't know anything about it, I was just being a twat looking for dodgy mods. It was from a thread I happened across a few years ago where someone announced that they had done some neat tricks to improve the performance of their turbo and posted the pic of "bits" soldered/welded to the compressor wheels. It's up there with some of the interesting implementations of Somender Singh's combustion chamber grooves I've seen out there, angle grinder + head = win? :D

I have the same diff, and I would say it definitely does... depending on how you drive :P

I never understood how a proper LSD worked until I got one. But I would definitely say, when driven with grip in mind, it pushes you through corners so nicely. If you turn the car quickly with a heavy foot, you will most definitely lose that traction though :P

Yeah i agree, the Diff makes a big difference and is SO nice to drive on daily!

I am sure I can think of ways to improve on that ;)

Ok OK! Ill weld those extra blades on :ph34r:

Lol that's a go kart track. You need the track to be 2nd and 3rd to really let those ponies gallop.

Yep, was too tight for my setup! BUT the biggest thing was running plumb back gate and low boost, it made it quite doughey!

It was all the "drifting" slowing you down :)

Lol, no drifting! Just HOONING! :woot:

Edit - And Tracey Grimshaw, that is a farking track so STFU!!

Reckon you'd be faster with a stock turbo in there. :P

Go and set a time at Wakefield already farkin!

Hey! The time was quicker than every other RWD on the day ya mongrel haha, even the 35GTR!

And yes if i can complete a lap without rolling it i will set a time in May/June!

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
