#@Ants has been doing a lot of this on his GT-R. He would be worth talking to.

Ah ok, yeh can't really go wrong with the re-spray...the more effort you put into your sanding before and between coats the better it gets ;)

Decided against going plastidip too as I don't think it comes in a gloss as it's a rubberized paint....plus it costs too much. But it's definitely handy if you have a nice set of wheels and you just want to try out a different colour with the intention of maybe pulling the paint back off at some stage etc. I'm happy to spend some time sanding and prepping - got all the time in the world lol ;)

Yeah good thanks, decided on black plastidip for the wheels, just trying to find new gram lights decals. Hard to find legit ones!

Booking the car into efi soon to get the nistune done finally too :) how's things with you?

Oooh that's awesome man - about time you got a couple extra ponies under the hood!

The black will go nicely with the silver too ;)

#@me_larr any updates on the search for the new beast/sale of your dearly beloved?

Sale is going slowly as I thought it would. Have had a few requests for swaps but the cars aren't what I'm gunning for.

Feeling first hand how slow the market is right now.

Went for a drive in a stock evo last week. All I can say is that they're definitely more than just a fast car. If you guys haven't been in one, you really have to. Surpassed my expectations on how a "lancer" should drive/handle :yes:

Only dislike was the doors clanged so bad when closed. Made the 180 feel almost luxurious.

I dare say that a new evo would feel quite zippy. The whole mivec system would give them motor a pretty nice torque curve too no doubt.

But I don't know if I could do this to...f*k....my car still doesn't have a name lol

^ I call mine the 'old girl'.

Polygamy is a wonderful thing :yes:

New evo's are way out of my budget LOL. Would rather a 34GTR, then spend the rest on a falcodore.

But even the old ones are awesome. 7s-9s make 382NM - 400+ NM of torque factory standard from a pissy little 2ltr motor.

Look, I'm a victim of circumstance. I don't want the extra expense of keeping her and paying rego/insurance on a 3rd car. But I'll say this, when my numbers come up, I'll have a type x, GT3, 400R/VSpecIINur all in the one garage ;)

Chris will polish them while I do mechanical and tuning ;)

If and when my numbers come up ;)

Although this car is going to get me into trouble, u won't understand until your in it :P

I don't have to get in it to know this.

I'm going to hazard a guess right now, she's too loud, too low, paint job looks "different" and there's a guy that looks like a young hoon in the driver's seat.

Say's "come violate me without lube" to the coppers all day everyday LOL

Please come up to Tbar and give me my ride before you lose your license.....

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

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

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
