Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[Manuel Kasko]

Nice work Rob!
Bit of a let down with the fact it's not hitting 200kw but not too long and you will be there.

I have decided I'm not going to chase the power right now.

Going to get my car sorted so that it drives well and handles well then I will head down the E85 path.

Radiator, exhaust wrap, muffler and gauges are all going in very soon.

Then I'm going to find time to take it to capital steering so they can tell me what needs upgrading to get it handling like it's on rails.

Ohh and Brakes! they will be added to the list as well as an oil cooler

[Got a Pulsar]

They actually had it up around 195kw but backed it off.

Ive never had a problem with any 98 from all over the eastern seaboard

[Sinista32]

you might be right Zeb, more likely the placebo effect

[zebra]

yeah, Rob dont feel bad about not making 200rwks

standard RB25 turbo will never truly make that (for long) the 190-195 is a realistic figure

also we at what 2000ft above sea level.

engines lose ~3% of their power per 1000ft

Also, just because it was a Caltex servo, doesnt mean its Caltex fuel

[Got a Pulsar]

Gonna buy me a bottle of octane booster and keep in the boot just in case...

[Sinista32]

fouls your plugs mate

If you want some value I recommend Liqui Moly fuel system cleaner

and if you hadn't already done it when you bought the car another Liqui Moly product - at your next oil/oil filter change use Engine Detox (just let it idle - don't boost it !)

Better than any other product on the market - IMHO

[Got a Pulsar]

Yeah just in case I get SH!T fuel again... Oneshot.

I think? I put some NULON Injector Cleaner through it when I bought the car.

I always put a bottle of NULON E20 Engine Treatment in at every oil change.

(I seem to use Nulon Products alot. )

Never used an engine flush etc...

It's also colder the higher you get so surely that evens it all out?

Good idea.

Even my 180kw needs more grip, and i thought i had a good suspension setup.

[Manuel Kasko]

Exactly! there was an NA skyline pulling better times at wakefield haha

[Got a Pulsar]

Hahahaha!!! Really? with your 250kw?

Blouse.

[Got a Pulsar]

Felt the Power.

Plugged in my ECUtalk to see that the timing is bang on 5^o instead of 15⁰.

When tuning, they had it on 15⁰ but was not happy so did what they could to make it happy.

So 5⁰ and a backed off tune is what resulted. Seems my Timing belt must be out by a tooth or two.

All will get fixed and the power will reveal itself. More to come? Yes Please!

I think I have heard of people intentionally putting the Exhaust? cam out by a tooth for some sort of gain...

Does anyone know anything about this??

[zebra]

Not accurate enough. Get an adjustable exh cam gear. But honestly the results arnt worth in on a 25

[Got a Pulsar]

Nah, I just want it to be as it should be, but do people do this tooth skipping thing and is it possible that this was done intentionally for some benefit?

[zebra]

Never heard of it personally

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Tried rolling guards, with my DIY tool.

The roller part is not up to it, its too short and when the heatgun is applied, it gets soft and flexes.

Or the guards are too stiff, yeah thats it i didnt fk up it was nissan.

[Got a Pulsar]

Damn inconsiderate of them.

[Pattey21]

Rolled my rear guards a bit more today after playing centurion last night. It was a struggle....

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Cleaning the Volks, not sure whats safe, so using bug and tar remover.

Its safe but not as effective as id like.

Scrubbed till my hands numb, still not clean.

Its the inside of the rim thats so hard to clean, the rest is ok.
