Hey guys,

Have a few question about the torque gauge in the din pocket? It never seems to do anything? I am wondering if it is not working like when should it come on? when i am doing what and where??

Why such the shit fuel consumption, $100 at the petrol station and only 400km a week. this car is making me need to take out a loan to afford it, haha lucky the government pays for it :) I understand they are a turbo car and all that, but my 300zx twin turbo 3L has a similar tank size and gets and extra 250km plus on fuel, haha better of using that as a daily... Pitty its a show/track car!

Also i have a 2003 M35 i am wondering what standard boost these are running in them from factory? I have not put a boost gauge in to see yet, and unsure what 1bar is?

I have put a Front Mount inter-cooler, and also a 3" dump with a straight through 3" exhaust system the whole way, I am wondering if i should boost it up at all to support the mods or leave it fine, still needs a tune with the supporting mods and was going to see if i boost it up at the same time? Anyone else in this experience please let me know what you have done and also this car is used as a daily driver.

Regards

Matthew

I'm assuming our attessa is the same as gtr. They won't give a dash light if there is a little air in the system and it won't show front split on the gauge due to it. It only gives a light when there is a lot of air in it.

Standard boost isn't 1bar either, it's 13PSI on an RS/RX and ~15PSI on an AR-X/AXIS I believe.

Matt, did you try locking the diffs? That always shows torque being driven to the front wheels when I do it.

Other than that mine never moved until I did the exhaust, and now it always dances around corners :devil:

But still no movement in a straight line, unless I lock them.

That's really strange, mine rockets straight up in straight lines but around corners it's glued to the 0.

It's quite an interesting system; on one of my local roads, a constant radius left, there's a dip, then a rise right after.

When going 80km/h and above; the gauge flicks right to the top just as the car goes over the rise. No loss of traction, but it's obviously semi-predictive. In the wet, I'm sure you could slide the car sideways over the rise; as it unloads the suspension.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
