Low is slow:cheers:

low is not always slow, but maybe in this instance it is

is it professionally lowered?? if not have the wheels been balanced and aligned?

cause if it is that low that it is rubbing the inside of the tyre might wear away and then blow out and then cause lots of trouble - accidents, dead people, manslaughter charges etc (very very nasty stuff)

its pretty low..my front gtr bar is sitting 72mm off the ground. the wheels dont show any camber i have only dropped it 1.5 inches i have GAB coilovers and just wound them down a bit..the inner plastic just scrubs on the top of the tire when i hit bumps on the road. and when i i go around a corner and hang the arse out (powerslide) the wheel just rubs on the actual gaurd itself i think due to bodyroll....to eliminate all of this i would it be recommended to just rais it .5 inches, and buy a bigger front sway bar to stop the body roll, and mould the plastics up a bit or just rip it out...in affect of ripping of the plastics will this mean when rocks flick up under the gaurds can they dent the actual gaurds???

I know a lot of cars not running the inner guards.. with wide body kits etc.

Stone etc dont dent the guards.. but you need to make sure the wiring is sealed well and there are no holes the enter the inside of the car... the water flicking off the wheels gets in even the smallest hole.

Too low is slow.

By removing the inner guards panels you have noticeably increased the aerodynamic drag, thereby lowered the top speed, reduced the acceleration rate and increased the fuel consumption.

Shall I get into how much power you have lost in excessive drive shaft angles? Nah, it's not realy necessary because everyone knows that:cheers:

I can't see you going fast speeds/hr on undullating semi-country road with 19's and 7cm off the ground.. Like the other night stuck behind some clown with a u-beaut body kit.. he was holding everybody up because of being worried about his precious bodykit dangling cm off the ground. What is the point of having a fast car that you can't push because you are worried about the bodykit scraping the ground, or can barely corner properly. All he did was shit people off.

So ok, all its good for is tough laps.. fullsic.. cops love lappers too

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
