yeah mine too, im talking from a standing start. hold the foot brake on (not the parking brake) and floor the throttle, mine will start spinning about 3 seconds later. as soon as i let off the brake, the fronts grab and the occupants of my car get whiplash lol

I don't get it though...I've dropped it down to 2nd gear when i'm at say 60 and planted my foot. Can't get the tyres to chirp. Car just takes off like a rocket...

Probably because your stall converter flares like mine till about 3,400rpm therefore your have more of a slingshot rather than a chirp....unless of cause you have locked it.

i think the quality of your tyres are actually 'too good' to do it..

that and i have a shit suspension set up.

i reckon it will go away with the 19" and BC's(when I get around to owning them)

and yeh, i have a torque converter lock up clutch locked on mine...

With regard to what Iain is saying, I'm not sure "easier" is the word, because it happens at much higher speeds and loadings.

I think because it is so much more consistent, you can invoke certain handling traits, like oversteer, much more safely; in that you know how the car will behave every time.

lol i know how to drive you ass hole..

i think one of my front struts are blown. its clunking every now n then.

so my next pruchase after these wheels are on are the BC's. then i can drop it on its ass again lol

On topic, (calm down ladies) I dont think you need the restriction removed unless you get a highflow as I can bag the wheels up now at takeoff (stock turbo), it is very different with a highflow and most likely gets worse the larger you go. Most likely I will hate the Garrett until the remap is done.

sorry i didnt mean you cant drive, but youll need to adjust the way you drive as the car handles differently.

dropping it on its ass wont help handling BTW

lol i know it wont help handling. i was joking.. mines dumped right now and its a frikin pain. shouldve listened to scott lol

Nice work Leon!

I asked a mate to look into this also, but after everything thats gone on, and your testing, its clearly so much bigger than we all thought!

It's funny how nothing seems easy on the M35. Maybe we should be all driving C34's :laugh: .

I'm now considering this a challenge and will pursue it to it's completion, be it successful or not. With knowledge comes (power?) the ability to find solutions to other needs/wants/problems that may crop up in the future, plus I love to learn.

It has also occured to me that if I have the ability to open the throttle a little more at say 20% (where I sit most of the time on the freeway) it will make the engine more efficient. If, as a byproduct of this, it reduces the injector pulse width with no or little change to cam timing I could have a sweet spot set up for a lean cruise mode. The point being, even if I'm not 100% successful in beating the throttle restriction above 80%, there could be an indirect benefit of this R & D work.

Is the throttle restriction in all gears and at all speeds or is it just first gear and under roughly 30km/h as it feels?

Perhaps it would be possible to trick the ecu into thinking it was in a higher gear or already going faster whilst still in first?

Does the throttle body ever open 100%

I like the way you think -outside the box. I'm not sure if that is a viable solution but I will ponder the implications & anything else related that comes to mind during the week. It seems that almost everything in our factory ECUs are tied to something else. Thanks for your input Steve. Oh, and max throttle I've ever experienced according to the informeter is 85% I think. In the last couple of weeks it's been nothing over 80%. Again, it's so many other factors which determine what the ECU allows you to do.:mad:

As for you other guys - you crack me up :rofl: It doesn't take long to degrade into a free-for-all lol.

Lol, youre all gay and im taken, sorry. :)

as I quote you saying.

"he wants to pay me in beer, I dont drink beer.. if he offered pussy it wouldve been another thing"

the look on your Misses face was priceless

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
