Run less pressure Andrew, if its getting bald in the middle then its got too much air in there. Which means your not even seeing all the rubber on the ground!!

yeah that is what I thought too Darren - until I checked the pressure and they only had 30psi in them! My old man explained that they are moderate quality tyres (they came on the Rays when I bought them), so presumably the steel belt is not strong/well constructed, and when the wheel spins centripetal force forces the middle of the tyres to contact the road first/the hardest.

But yes, some skids may have played a part, as for about a month after my tune I would chirp it up in 1st when hitting boost, cos it sounds so cool :laugh:

Pretty sure I spotted ben in his RS260 tonight leaving TTP, if not, it looked a hell of alot like your car buddy, didn't catch the plates however.

Oh how I miss Skyline ownership >_<

yeah Luke i don't think that is Ben I've seen that one before and rang Ben to see if it was him there is an impostor getting around

Score one for Luke, that was me! lol!

You can usually tell mine by the exhaust note...not too many rs4 that sound like that! lol!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
