On a turbo charged motor WITHOUT NOS you only need a fuel cut.

Cut the fuel on a turbo charged motor and you get what??? Nothing.. there is no fuel to create a bang.

NOS has its own delivery system, which is why you need an Ignition cut.

Cut the fuel, nos still goes in and bang.. leanout goodbye motor.

I dont think its that at all. Apexi say high horspower cars at high rpm are in danger of a split second lean out by hitting a fuel cut. Which is why they have the pro version. I dont think they were thinking of nos at the time of making it as the japs arnt too keen on nos.

Yeah thats right R32-GTS, Sorry Cubes. Makes no differece NOS or not, NOS is not fuel its just extra oxygen source. This means its to stop the momentary lean out when fuel is cut but ignition is stil present (until theres no fuel left).

ok my bad with NOS being fuel. lol :)

Irrespective, you do not want a fuel only cut with NOS.

I still seriously doubt there would be enough fuel left over to ignite and cause any problems with our every day power figures.

If fuel cuts were a real danger ecu's would not be using them.

if you buy a regular power FC, and use a Bee-R rev limiter, you'll have all the dual rev limiter functionality, plus the Bee-R unit has a handbrake sensor too for launch control. I don't know if the Power FC pro has that. Both of them cut ignition and dump fuel into exhaust on hitting the rev limit (ie chitty chitty bang bang + flames = bye bye catalytic converter)

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • 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.
    • 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.
