I know they are quiet and very different,but this is the future guys.Just look how well the electric cars went at Pykes Peak last year and also the fastest electric drag bike isnt far off Top Fuel bike times.Anyone used a latest technology electric remote control car lately,yes they can beat the little petrol ones now.Wont be long until one can beat a petrol powered F1 car.Sorry guys its just the way it is.Electricity has huge amounts of potential power,we are just learning how to store at properly.

The problem I see is most people actually like that race fuel smell and the sight of flames flowing out the exhaust, exhust pops between gear changes, fuel catching on fire during pit stops etc etc. I wish these nobs with more money then sense would put more money into Hydrogen Based fuels and STOP dicking around with Electric Cars and the like.

With a world so dependant on Fossil Fuels which in turn is also used for Creating Electricity this just seems stupid. Reason why is if EVERYONE was to drive an Electric car the demand on Electricity will go throught the roof, more fossil fuels to be burnt to create more electricity to power all these Electric/Power demands. So saving the Earth from ZERO exhaust gases is pointless unless they can create a CLEAN or GREENER way of powering up these electric vehicles and better disposal of the batteries.

I may be totally wrong in my thoughts but thats just how I see it.

My mate has one and the thing is ridiculously fast.. You can be going along at almost top speed for a long distance, then pin the throttle and the car will still stand up on the rear and flip itself lol

  • 7 months later...

Their "Pit stop" involved jumping out of the car at lap 14, and getting in another blender to finish a 25 lap race.

Hardly enthralling entertainment.

Because batteries went flat?.....they should have a 24 hour race...he with the biggest battery charger wins....

Classy work from the other driver just to walk away without even looking to see if Nick was OK.

Can't believe he was able to clamber out and run after a shunt like that! Scary looking stack!

and that's the most exciting thing that will ever happen in F.E.

treaded tyres? FFS

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
