350Z performance shouldn't be that bad. The specs say its like 206kw or something and 0-100 in 6 seconds. Its very light so a na engine still makes it go. Just no boost surge or easy upgrade potential you get with a turbo.

I still wouldn't buy one, but I would be happy if I was given one :)

don't believe the hype - 206kw my ass! Why do they do a mid 14 second 1/4 mile, just like a stock S15, which has only 147kw? Yes they are a little heavier, but not that much. When I drove one it felt quite sluggish (especially at lower revs) - much more so than a stock S15.

they have stock gear change indicator, when i redline it in first three gear, the light flash and I thought "that's it??"

and as Andrew said, though all the magazine said it's has lot of torque down low, i think it's quite sluggish and has very flat top end, hence i said the power delivery is "too" linear

but i was driving a 180rwkw S15 at that time.

if i test drive it again now i might tell u it's very fast :)

that would be @ the flywheel andrew which might be about 165 @ the wheels

spotted a R31 today :O poor girl

also bought 2 new tires today and was speaking to the guy that runs the place i asked if he will do discount to the boys on the forums :) thats you guys :) and he was like sure npz

so if your in the need for tires i will happily recommend Tyre Plus @ ridgehaven 8395 5880 ask for chris and say your from the skyline australia forum i got 18bux off 2xBFgoodrich's G-force Sports

he said he can do the sava 16 bux cheaper than buerepairs modbury (bad sentance i know) that 16bux per tyre on crappy SAVAs so if u get better tyre and full set prolly do better deal

haha, finally spotted Steve just gettin his tires done & warming them up a little goin onto Hancock Rd :O, exhaust note sounded nice. Come to think of it I've also seen ur car at Everlast Mufflers before.

hahaha yeah didnt break traction though and guilty on the charge of being @ everlast mufflers :no:

yep I get my tyres from Chris too - got some Michelin Pilot Precedas from him for around $250 each in 235/45/17 a few weeks ago

wot did u think Andrew i was quiet happy with there service and he seemed willing to beet local competition i think he likes the skylines too :laugh::)

Spotted coming off jetty road r32 light sky blue colour followed by a Very dark blue r34 with a reasonably big spoiler and on brighton road yellow r32 very nice body kit all looked very clean cut at about 12.45 today

wot and no pics :whistling:

nop sorry no camera on us an fone was flat.

spotted 'sniper' 32 gtr goin down main rd

and another gun grey 32 gtr that cained it down sheps shortly followed by a pady wagon out of a side street was it any one off here an did he get u

i dont think paddy wagons can book you for speeding coz them things are so slow its just a rumor i heard might be wrong if i am can someone let me know lol

Saw an R34 "GTR" at the Golden Grove Village today. Hillarious thing is that it had no flared guards, no in-dash computer and was auto. The owner still tried to insist it was in fact a real GTR however

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
