Nah, 13 is not too bad, at higher revs you want it to lean off a bit, that is were you can make some real power gains, too lean and bang. 12.0-12.8 is usually about right, and quite safe. Too lean is bad for all engines, not just R32 GTS.

See'ya:burnout:

old trick i have never done it...but heard about it...couldnt be took good but when travelling along kill the ignition and keep foot to floor then start car again. maybe it is just for carbie motors..but meant to send to 20foot flame and loud bang out the back. :-D

alternatively the new apexi PFC has misfire system, (anti-lagg) so u can set it up to burn excess fuel in the turbos and it apparently shoots flames out the exhaust..even with a cat?

mine pops and crackles like a bowl of rice bubbles. I love it, only had flames twice(i still run cats) from my exhaust. What we've done though is richen up my top end and a bit under trailing throttle to preserve engine on speed runs(depending on tempt its a safe guard of it leaning out to much).

The pops can be heard on my launching videos on my website when i lift off gives a bit pop pop crackle pop. :)

Got car booked in today to get a leak fixed(at the flange after extractors/before cats) and a balance pipe put in(deeper note hopefully) but also to get a cat replacement pipe made up for track days. No-one has wanted to make me up a set of screamer pipes yet ;)

I'd love a set, straight off the extractors exiting out the sides.. My old auto ute used to run hi flow cats(proper 1's with enlarged entries/exits etc and not a gutted cat) and it was loud as hell.. popped and crackled a bit(hadnt fiddled with ecu at time) but also droned alot less in cabin due to the cat not causing restriction.

Personally if you want to run without a cat, get a replacement pipe made up for track/drag work and "accidently" leave it on at times.. but dont be suprised when you get reamed if caught.. Alternative would be get some cats, gut them and fit them yourself.. no exhaust shop wants to touch the cats as if they do, they cop a $25,000 fine or there abouts(i've asked em :P). Overall though be careful, while its legal in some countries(nz, various states in USA) its highly illegal in australia.

A mate of mine has an R33 GTS-T with no cat and a big fuel reg. It drags flame about 2-3 feet for a few seconds after backing off at high rpm. We were standing in the Nasho at the 35 corner watching each other do fly bys. Locals at Stanwell wen't too happy!

Have the external waste gate pointing to the road I say. Shoot the flames onto the bitumen.

My setup is just like this, but the flames came out the exhaust after letting off the throttle. Never from the wastgate (that I was told). Nice blue flames too, (that I was told) and a couple nices pops. No cat by the way.

Put cat in, stopped the flames.

An old very nice looking chev gets around these parts and must have the switch to do the flames. He quite often drives past us and lets them go. We first saw it on the highway, he heard us talking on the UHF and then put on a show.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
