Sounds nothing like your average 400kw rb26.

Obviously a horrible setup.

Would be like chalk and cheese to what you have now.

It was 338awkw with a T78 screwed on when I bought it and it was shit as a DD. After puttering around in this for more than a week I needed a rope and a tree.

This was not a normal RB26 R34GTR, it was modified and I am sure a standard R34GTR would have been so much better as a DD.

I just don't understand the logic of why you want all that torque and power down low.

Maybe its because I drove a car with a high stall for so long and loved the fact that for everyday duties it was lazy and much nicer and easier to drive compare to before the converter went in. Similar to changing from stock to -5s which made the car nicer to drive daily.

I suppose I don't like setups that are surgy and re sponsive that makes for a nervous and less livable drive for daily duties, for me anyway.

If I want to putter around, I drive my Tiida , why would I spend this sort of $s to putter around and you can still drive a responsive car slowly, use a light foot and they are great , well I think so and that is all that matters , for me ?

Surgy and responsive makes you nervous, how farking old are you. Do you want to buy my Tiida ?

as i said horrible set up,.330kw setup should not be too far off stockish response

Didn't say it makes me nervous, just less relaxing to drive a surgy car in peak hour daily duties.

As I said I drive mine daily in peak hour, so yeah i putter around because i want to drive it everyday, legally, with no headaches and it stays in the left lane so as people pass me they can admire the beauty of an R33. So it stays in low rpm with hardly any boost and no BOV huffing away.

I have nothing to prove on the street as those days are long gone.

But regardless, I am just a gear change away from 350 odd kws of evil, and soon I will hopefully have more lag and more power.

Just the way I like it. :yes:

Mate whatever makes you happy, just like me :rolleyes:

Read your post, = "I suppose I don't like setups that are surgy and responsive that makes for a nervous and less livable drive for daily duties, for me anyway."

My car is pretty quiet , but I will wait and see what it sounds like when I get it back and then I will look to see if I need to change mufflers , Mick said mine is pretty good .

I do not hoon around and do enjoy a quiet drive in a fast car and that is what I have now. But I like to play without revving the shit out of it to get it off the line, that is a bad look for a DD and would rather be able to get going from idle, well close to idle ?

I can go back to the start of all of this and Scotty said my motor is not like my TT350GT with a torquey 3.5L new age motor and I thought I understood what he said, but not totally , I have learnt a little since then and should have shut my mouth, sorry Scotty I could have used some help from you, read a lot of you posts and you are a wealth on knowledge :cheers:

Are u on drugs???

Have you ever driven a well set up responsive turbo ?

Don't know wtf your are on about.

Just because your 26 was a pig of a setup, dont think that its the norm, because its not. We dont have to rev and dump off the line along with all the other rubbish you had to go through because we don't have drag setups that we try to drive on the street. I can drive my car quite sedately as a daily without revving the guts out.

Fark mate don't take it personally, I was just initially responding to another poster then you decided to comment. I am not having a go at your setup at all... Actually far from it, but you obviously have a delusion about 26s all being like the rubbish you had.

haha, mate if you took SAU personally, you would neck yourself :)

My 26 was shit but I have always said it was and that I have never driven another R , so I did not know the difference. But I knew they had to be better than mine or no one would buy the heaps of shit!

I have since seen many 26s in Vids that look great and go hard, all good

You can drive any car regardless of how responsive it is like a Hurst if you want to ?

Go too hard you could use it as a Hurst, save a few $s :)

I'm gonna need to get a life once this thread ends lol.. its provided me with therapy haha

Going in next week angry, so hold on a bit longer lol

I need to get a life as well, not a lot left :/

Lock it druncan

Even I am here getting dumber and I didn't think that was possible

Don;t be hard on yourself Fatz , I am sure we can all manage a little more dumber, we are blokes :)

Duncan, we are still talking about Skylines , driving and our preferences for many things . It may not always be technical or how fast you can go around a track, up a hill or some great build or anything that interests you. It is just a bit of talk that has dragged on because my build went tits up :(

Hadouken, :spank:

I have had some good feedback , thanks.

For anyone interested in the result , it is booked in for the 17th :banana: I will post the results and what was done to fix the car ASAP :)

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
