Just recently got one of these cars and the 2nd day of driving it I noticed a bit of difference when pulling in first and 2nd it’s not as fast as the first day of driving it around it kind of feels sluggish in first gear from 4K revs even in neutral it doesn’t spike from when the turbo is supposedly supposed to kick in. Stock everything.. any ideas ? Cars 60K on clock atm

they aren't that fast, so maybe the initial inaccurate feeling of speed has worn off. In fact  stock they are slow and many cars will dust them easily.

it is extremely hard to believe the 60K's on the clock.

 

 

 

what the f**k does

Saying on first day of boosting it would red line quick in neutral and the next it wasn’t as fast and underwhelming.. even my friend I took for a boost on the first day noticed a it wasn’t pulling as hard .. I know it’s stock but it definitely feels sluggish atm. I’ve had a similar problem with my evo 3 a few years ago but never had it looked at before I sold it it was also at 70Kms .. and the car is genuinely 60kms tho first owner imported to nz

You mean genuinely wound back whilst still in Japan, right?

The last time any 20+ year old Nissan still had 60k on it was, well, about 20+ years ago.

Where are you from? We get early imports with these miles all the time 🤷‍♂️

Like 99% of SAU members, I am from Australia. We've been importing these cars from Japan since the mid 90s and we all know that these cars have routinely had their mileage wound back since the very beginning of the trade. it is quite literally an article of faith in the trade.

I would sooner believe in the tooth fairy than in a genuine low mileage ex-Japan Nissan import.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
