When i accelerate at the green lights after coming to a stop, people around me are always going faster then me and so i compared my rpm to their rpm when accelerating from the green light is they often always rev up to 3300 rpm as this is what it takes for my R34 to keep up with them side by side

I usually rev up and cruise after the start of green lights constantly at 1500 - 2000 rpm because anymore then that my engine feels like its wearing itself out and burning unnecessary fuel as my engine always gives off this whooshing sound after 3000 rpm and roars loudly within the car's cabin. (oh and i usually smell fuel within the car after revving it up to 3000)

Whats weird is that i tested beside cars such as old camrys, corollas, Mazda 3s and 8 etc and they are driven by mature aged people and they drive hard up to 3300 rpm usually.

Yet even after revving it up to 3300 rpm cars behind me still stick close expecting me to go faster even when i'm on the left side of the road.

Oh and i forgot to add, i rev to 2500 rpm and constantly stay there gets me to 40 - 50 km slowly and i mean very slowly like around 6 seconds and that every car overtook me like i'm driving like a grandma.

Seriously

the engine is most efficient at 7000rpm , so that's where you need to be all the time.

Its why the R34s have tiptronic, you can manually select the gear to get you closest to 7000rpm

When i use my tiptronic i often smell something burning so i don't use it plus i don't want to go over 3000 rpm as it seems too much for me.

Fuel needle drops like a rock when i reach near it.

Even then i stick to the speed limit and keep getting bad fuel economy.

Most efficient?

So i would use up to nearly half my fuel tank just to go the city and back at Liverpool?

I wonder if any tuning will give me better acceleration below the 2500 rpm range but be economical.

22's = more efficient tyres. Just ask the tyre joint for some.

Sounds like you need to remove the stupid mods and get someone to look at the car. Have you checked for boost leaks?

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
