I have an r32 gts-t , i just bought the car 2 weeks ago and my first test drive on it was sweet. but once i actually got the car it just seemed really sluggish especiialy at low revs and first and 2nd gear.... i was told the mods on the car wasa gt28 turbo, fuel regulator, mines computer, boost controller, high boost set on 18-20 psi.....someimtes when i give it heaps the car jerks around alot and is very sluggin in low revs as in very slow... i was told its the mines computer coz it runs very rich fuel and is designed for japanese fuel only....does anyone know how to help me please?

If you have just purchased the car change everything; oil, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs etc. Who knows when or sometimes IF these have ever been changed. Have you done a compression test on the car ? With such high boost, and a Mines computer, who knows if you have piston trouble or similar.

The Mines computer Id suggest is leaning the car, NOT making it rich. Jap fuel is 100RON and cooler ambient temps... having a Mins comp in a Aussie car with lower octane fuel and hotter temps, your not giving the car the correct mixture in relation to what the Mines wants your car to have.

I wouldnt go hammering your car until you get it sorted. You say your car jerks sometimes? Again, it could be getting plently of air but not enough fuel.. not good. So id look at fuel filter, maybe getting your injectors cleaned, lowering your boost, chucking the Mines comp. Hmm, what type of fuel regulator do you have? be worth checking that out too, it may not be delivering the fuel you need.

Would be worth putting in on a dyno, just to see where things are at also.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
