Its not really that modern of an engine, I mean what has changed on it since they first went DOHC?
What I would define as a modern engine is something with VVL and direct injection. Without that its just a matter of not having a totally shit combustion chamber design and throwing in more boost and timing.

Interesting. I just got home from a cruise with some mates.

My mate with a tuned Barra got pissed on by an 34 tonight.

That's right, the guy in the 34 had time to stop, flop out is dick and piss on my mates car as he drove past.

Is that hilarious enough for you.

Because I find it bloody funny.

That barra engine wasnt in a skyline with skyline diff ratios and had an extra 400+ kg to move.

Both of those things together make a big difference.

XGTRX thinks if you make X horsepower on a dyno you MUST run Y MPH down the strip or your telling lies about dyno figures. Don't confuse him with diff ratio's and weight which might effect the outcome :ph34r:

I have been swapping out diff's and tranies and converters before you were still a twinkle in your father's eye sunshine.

And yes, if u run the same gearing and weight then difference in Mph (within a range), is related to engine power.

I have always been a supporter of getting the best out of your car by drive line mods.

Oh the good old days of a celica 5 speed bolted to a 202 with a ute diff and destroying 308s on the street. Good times those.

One tonner diffs are 3.90

I think the HQs were 4.4s. But anything was better than the 2.7 that came in the sedan. But you are right most of them were 3.9s. Smashed so many of them back then I just put in what ever they had at the wreckers.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
