Hey Guys.

Ive noticed a few people rated the N/A R34's as a shit car. They reckon they have nothing against the Aussie 'falcon or commodore'.

At the moment, i own a R34 N/A 4 door, with the only really power mod being the Exhaust with the following:

- Hi Tech Extractors

- Venom 200cpsi High Flow Cat

- Lukey Performance Exhaust

My mate has extractors on his 2003 XR6, and i ended up beating him by a fair car length on the legal quarter mile, i got the lead at the start because the XR6 is a bit heavier.

Then after the start, we were pretty much going the same speed the whole way, so then the end result was me beating him by a good car length.

On corners he has to slow down a terrible amount, when i can turn them pretty smoothly at higher speeds.

Although i never thrash my car ever, this was merely for testing against the XR6.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS RECKON ABOUT XR6'S VS R34'S?

was it auto vs auto, or manual vs auto, or manual vs auto? that will alter the outcome. but just because you beat him on one run doesn't mean shit. when i took my magna to the drags i beat a r33 GTS-t in one run. as for how hard he can push through corners, a lot of that comes down to the confidence of the driver.

a lot of that comes down to the confidence of the driver.

100% agreed. I went on an SAU cruise not long ago when I had my N/A R33, it was damp on the ground and through the Dandenong ranges I was going quicker than most of the other cars through the corners and I had stock EVERYTHING, keep in mind every other car was turbo or a GTR. Maybe it was because I knew the roads, maybe they had too much power and being damp didn't want to risk putting it to the ground. Didn't really prove anything out of that night at all.

People rate them as a shit car because people like you post up threads like this.

I dont know what that has to do with the car being shit powerwise?

i have hardly saw threads on 4 door skylines, your brother being one of them with his old N/A 25gt, i know him.

people rate them as slow cars compared to commodores and xr6's, when they can at least go the same.

yeah that is true, i was just pointing out what we done.

both 5 speeds. we had another run after that and the same result. to prove more we swapped cars and pretty much the same result.

it wasnt to prove historical stuff, its just r34's are proposed as having a low power rating, when the NEO engine that goes in them is more powerful than an average rb25 in 33's.

although the wieght is a factor,

TBH I did find this somewhat interesting. It would be better if you had some time sheets to compare.

The other thing is that commodore/falcon ratios are much taller and such even though you may be on top of him over short distances you'll probably find the falcon has a much better top speed.

although the weight is a factor,

I don't really care much what car a person has, whether it be a Corolla or a Corvette.

If he's keen to take care of it, services it, & respects his car's limitations as well as his own, he has the makings of an enthusiast.

One thing you've learned is the influence of the weight factor (speaking nothing yet about brakes and suspension).

In 5 years time, look back over this thread you've started and relay to us what else you've learned by 2016, and by then we'll all know if you are an enthusiast.

And one more thing: I'm sure your learning curve will be steeper as you join up and come to various events!

well that says a bit. the manual falcons and commodores are pretty hard to get off the line cleanly because of the torque (wheelspin easily) and the tall ratios (easy to bog it down if you don't fry the tyres). the v8 versions are even harder to get off the line cleanly. first gear on them is basically only really usable for parking.

out of curiousity, what sort of times were you and your mate running?

Or maybe it's becuase no-one else was racing, because it was a CRUISE on PUBLIC ROADS..... Oh, and cool Stary Bra... Is this why we keep the door locked on the NA section?

Sorry bra didn't know it was illegal to do 80kmh through a corner rated at 70kmh within an 80kmh zone.

Oh no!! >_<

If that is your version of superior handling please don't get in the way of my jacked up 2.5 tonne Patrol. It would be sad to see you driven over.

At least you are obeying the speed laws.

What are you even talking about?? When did I ever mention superior handling? In fact what I was talking about was that I had more courage to push it in the wet through corners than SOME (not all) drivers and it doesn't count for your car being better than anything else based on your courage alone. What part of stock as a rock NA didn't you understand lol, their verging on boats even with aftermarket suspension.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
