LOTS!

DOHC, 4.0l 6-pack with a restricted and underloaded turbo and motor...

BIG things will be made from this platform!!

A mate just received his after a delay with the sunroof and a crack in the windscreen which was replaced before delivery.

Click here to see the professional shots he had taken the other night.

AWESOME!

Guys,

They wound the boost down on the turbo to prevent the power exceeding the XR8. They did this because otherwise no-one would buy the V8. I have heard it has serious potential, at the factory they pushed over 300kW at the flywheel during testing. Factory skylines come with restrictive airboxes and exhausts, to meet EPA, but it doesn't take much to replace them.

I think we are in for many years of fun racing these down at the drags.

Apparently it has a very restrictive airbox and exhaust.

It has a restrictor on the turbo as well which can be removed. Aftermarket companies in this country are falling all over themselves to develop this car. ANYONE that says this car has no potential is not thinking straight!

It's the same as saying that, "because of the way a factory r33 ecu retards the timing when boost is increased, it's not worth developing the rest of the car". How many of us here have aftermarket ECU's?!?!?

ridiculous! not a shot at what you said, just that i'm sick of hearing bullsnot being thrown around on this subject.

Lets think about it: Change exhaust, remove inlet restrictor and other restrictions, up the boost, BANG 300kW !!!

That's potential in my book!

:D

I agree with 2rismo, the performance shops already have parts ready to bolt-on and can't wait to replace the engine management systems, the potential will be awesome.

Aslong as they can fix the problem of the side airbags going off, casue that would be a bitch if your racing and the airbags blew up.

Deesh,

If you wanted a drag or race car then I would agree with you, but these aren't intended for that purpose. They are a luxury sports saloon, and therefore have to have all the goods that people expect these days.

I'm sure if you stripped it then you could loose 300+kgs.

See'ya:burnout:

These cars have just over 200kw at the wheels straight out of the box. I point your attention over to this thread on performance forums http://board.performanceforums.com/forums/...readid=67137695

Very impressive. And for those people complaining that it weighs to much...go buy a mini or something.:D

these things DO! have a crapload of potential,only thing is that i dont think the tranny is gonna hold up to much abuse,as thereve already changed 400 auto's out of the first batch made,and even the 5 speeds are going aswell, but there are strengthing them.

Also i have heard from a mechanic that words at Fords in broadmedows in the warranty/workshop that the only problem is the crank,rods etc and to get the power out of these things and to still be reliable all these things will have to be changed

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
