electric cars are the future.. once most of chinas population is driving cars in about 5-10 years and have more people buying petrol than the americans, petrol bowsers are going to be a thing of the past as soon as the oil prices triple, which will mean a direct translation to the petrol pump.

I bitch about $60 to fill my tank now.. in 10 years it wont suprise me if we're looking at $150-$180 for the same tank.

My GTR truly will be a weekend car, and 5 years later be old enough to qualify as a classic car :P

Assuming I still have it by then..

Lithium Ion Batteries have quite a punch...

They have more power and less weight than the nI -cads but from my limited knowledge in RC they can be quite unstable....They burst into flame if you drop them hard enough or over charge them :P ...

I am sure there would be less wheels when they have more powerful electic engines...

I heard about that car a while ago... i like it looks sick.

Imagine in 20-30yrs time the first electric GTR... FAT! Better yet a revival of the 60-70's shaped cars with electric engines!! I'd love to see my GT back on the road without having to pay for the petrol (sure no v8 growl but you can't have it all).

... well.. actually I'm dreaming that won't ever happen, I can see the men in black suits arriving now. :uzi:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
