That would make sense, but a search around online says the figure varies considerably depending on the car (obviously).

But AWD autos have the most drivetrain loss, and figures I saw thrown around online were between 25-35% loss. If this figure is constant, which would make sense, maybe it's 25-35% off the stock figure?

exactly...I was gonna say so my car must be 370kw at the flywheel!!

AFAIK the loss is a constant figure, not a % which increases with power!

Correct it's a constant. If initial loss is say 35kw thats it. It doesn't multiply the loss as it makes more power. The amount lost can also vary depending what gear the car is tested in. So it's a highly variable figure and one I don't usually worry about.

Hey guys.........excuse me.........,m35 owners???

Less talk about killa wasps more about cruising, this isn't another" I can't tune my 35 because turbo is about to blow up" thread.

Back on topic please

Ok, lets resume our regularly scheduled program.

Are the C34s going to turn up or have they all rusted apart? :nyaanyaa:

Yesterday I picked up ours from the "Ding Shop"...now looking very "bling"

All the "cuts & bruises" have been repaired...not sure why the Japs put foam under the mirrors ?

....sure doesn't help long term preservation. Did they do it to the M35's ?

"them OLD folks"

Too early to organise a northern meeting point for a convoy to the dirty south? Parrofield airport carwash anyone?

Happy to meet at the carwash first :yes:

"the OLD peeps"

yep well new bubs is hear "has been for two weeks" so we will all be there, should have brake up grade and sway bars done by then if i get off my butt , maybe even new turbo upgrade :ph34r::cool:

Congrats mate, Boy or Girl? Its great to see the Stag families growing every cruise :thumbsup:

Must of been the year for bubs

satachi >>> olds>>>

im up for a carwash convoy at parafield.. when we thinking.. 9:00 7 leave 9;15 to get there by 10?

let me know

I'm not sure where the meet point is exactly yet...then we can work out how much time we need to get there

but 9am is OK with us ???....over to you Satachi ??

OLD Mark

If the meeting point is the same as the last cruise Robbie organised, leaving the wash at 9:15 should get us there in time.

Robbie can ya pass on the plan of the car wash meeting point to the northern leggys for us? Cheers

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
