Maybe it's time to stop doing 120 in second  ;) that sounds like a redline job. Car won't last too long doing that.

If ur exhaust is making a strange note it could be that ur engine isn't buring all of the fuel that ur sending to it. Run the car and check the exhaust for any black or blue smoke. This happened to me and it was simple as pulling the plug off the air-flow sensor and putting it back on again.  :)

That's what I thought!! I've never tried but I think 90 would be redlining in 2nd.
You'd have to have ur engine fully balanced to allow it to rev hard enough to do 120 in 2nd. Even then  :-\
Either that or a fully customised gearbox with taller ratios would do it!

mind you mitza, not that ive done 120 in 2nd gear, but in my oldies old car.. a volvo! i done 115 in second gear :)

thats before everything weent downhill and the engine started to show a bit of age  ;D cant really complain it had like 310,000ks on it and the odometer didnt work for 4 yrs!

maybe the guy that sammy got it off blocked out the fuel cut in the ecu.. if thats possible?

Yeh, u can do that with older cars cos they don't have EFI... no reve limiter in those things...

The only way u're gonna be able to do 120 in second in a pintara is to either have an aftermarket ECU and rev ur poor engine out to 7 or 8 grand, have a custom gearbox, or could it be the speedo is farked?!?!?  :P

I can only just do 100 in 2nd, and that's on the limiter. Oh, mitza, i've got roughly 80kws at the wheels from the extractors, zorst and slightly modded intake.
I will cry if i'm not pulling 100kw at the wheels after this head/cam goes on  :'(

I agree with aussie gli - and im also just below 100km bouncing off the rev limiter in second.

Sorry, youre speedo must be out by around 20km/hr!

ahahaha, id get that checked. Or you have had some crazy work done on it. Got a dybo sheet for it?

You do know second is down thr bottom left in the gear cycle? Not in the middle top....that would be third :P

Yeah I agree with everything mentioned. I revved the poor TRX up to 6000 and it was screaming like my next door neighbour in a domestic but it just got 100km/h. If you can do 120 there's something going on with ur car like different gear ratios or something. What does ur tacho say when you're doing 120 in second??

Im not mechanic, but if you changed your gear ratios to reach 80 in first and 120 in second.............wouldnt it make your car really slow off the mark as it revs outs?

A shorter gear ratio is better for acceleration isnt it?

Sammyj are those wheels from a Series I Bluebird LX by any chance?? And btw mate we're asking *how* you can do 120km/h in second, not saying that you can't, coz none of us can!!!

Mitza having taller ratios definitely makes you're car accellerate slower, and in a car like ours where it's not really built to go over 200km/h I can't see why you'd opt for taller ratios.  :-\

Mitza - Have look on page 1 near bottom, he sortof gives us a rundown but by sound of it i`m assuming previous owner did the work on the car.

Easiest way to tell if gears have been changed is to ask him what revs he is doing at say 70 km/h in 4th and also what rpm at 40 km/h in 1st.  Put these figures up against a standard model and you`ll find out if gears have been changed.

So Sammy if you could give us these figures and they are different to ours we will all know how you get these speeds and we`ll also know that somewhere out there in the modifying fraternity that we can actually get aftermarket gears etc for our cars.

This is the end result we all would like to come up with but if revs are same then obviously your motor must rev more and that would mean you have internal work.  Whichever way it goes you`ll have comfort in knowing which area of your car has been modified to produce these speeds.

After all that`s what we would ALL like to know about our cars - What the previous owners have done so we know not to spend money in that area  8)

Yep 2500 @ 100km/h in 5th sounds exactly like mine.
Sammy those rims definitely look like Bluebird LX wheels. Why put them on a U12 TRX I don't know.

same here 2500rpm 100km/hr in 5th.

If youre getting that to smmyJ, how can you manage 120km in 2nd? What rpm is that?

I would assume, if you could get 120 in second, your gear ratio would be taller, so in 5th, doing 100km.hr you would be like at 1500rpm?

Make sense?

Hey, are those rims 15"?? coz if they are you've got the wrong profile tire on them, maybe that's why things don't seem to add up...  ::)

Yeah mine scrape too. I was at the FTG drags last week and had a full car, every corner i took scraped on the tires, mite need to get the sides bashed out. i forget what they're called? I'd hate to see what happens when i get it lowered.

Might remove the rear seat and make it a coupe methinks  8)

If they are rims from a Bluebird LX they'd be 14x6.0j I think but maybe it's 5.0j or 5.5j doesn't make any diff anyway but they might not be from a Bluey....

If he does have the tyre series wrong it'd have to be *pretty damn wrong* to get 20k's out on the speedo... but yeah if anything'd do it that would...

But then how come @100km/h in 5th his tacho reads the same as ours???

Too many questions... so few answers...

sometimes, if something goes wrong, you might find yourself making up other problems, kinda like hypochondria over your car... so maybe you think the car did 120 in 2nd but it didnt, maybe you only really payed attention to your speeds after the car started running like shit. we've probably all done it before.

i'm sure the engine isnt buggered if you can do the same as what everyone elses pintara can.

also, if the gearbox has been modified internally, from what i've seen, the 5th gear is rarely changed, which would be reason for the revs to be the same in 5th. but its all very sketchy & i'm not going to make any more assumptions..

but as for this comment

but i got the dek n amp for free hehehe

i'd be really careful who you say stuff like that in front of.

Engine is fukcked? No wonder..............if you can reach 120km/in second it would be fucked.

Define fucked for me? Because 80 in second doesnt mean the engine is fucked you know?????

being the fair guy i am, u can go get fucked sammyj, seeya adios, im sick of ur immature antics.

u have got issues

if u get agro over sumthin that is posted on the net, its reallly unneccesary to go tell everyone to get fucked. all we are doing is voicing our opinions and if u may or may not have realised we are trying to sort out why what is happening with ur car.

its plain and simple, and u claim to go to the dyno like every fucken day. so like is it any drama to get a print out claiming speed vs rpm? it all seems strange to me. surely it cant be hard to scan a dyno sheet, as alot of us would be very interested in what it has to say.

but because u have a short fuse and think we are a mob of [i seem to suffer from tourettes]s, i guess u wont forgive us then for being interested in ur car.

but good luck with ur car, hope to see the gtir engine in it.

ok sammy, its hard to interpret whats goes on in this forum, either good or bad. im sorry if u got hurt from what members have to say. its not that we dont believe, its that we are all amazed how u get to that speed in second.

if u can back up ur figures with some kinda proof, then this will stop confrontations with other members.

anyway man, ur off the hook  ;D just remember that anything u say in here thats out of the ordinary will be questioned pretty much immediately as the majority of us have the same car!!

hope to see the dyno sheet  8)

not bad....74 at the wheels.

Didnt mean to offend you sammyJ about the speed throughout gears. Maybe the joke went  alittle too far? Got to have a sense of humour too thoough.

As for help with your problem, mate I am, like most of us are stumped.

As WE all have mentioned, 120km per hour in 2nd is a hell of  a title.

We have never ever reached anywhere near that, so if youre confident thats what you were once able to reach, maybe its best if you ask your cousin who you bought the car from, what mods he has done to it, in order to get it back to the way it was.

I know personally, and Im sure I speak for all of the boys in here (and girls), that we would all like to know the mods done on the car, which enabled it to reach such speeds in the gears.

So, do yourself and us all a favour, talk to your cousin who sold you the car, find out the mods and let us all in on it, so we too, can make our Babies perform that little bit, or in this case, a lot better.

just out of curiosity, (and cause all these arguments in this thread, joking or not are shitting me off) i took my car for a spin down the street, and i got to 103km/hr in 2nd gear at 5800rpm... so by the time i hit 6500rpm when the rev limiter kicks in, i'd easily be around 110km/hr in 2nd.

i'm not trying to stick up for anyone in this thread, far from it. but yeah, i dunno. that is how it is.


as for my power figures, i dyno'd the same as nismo on the dyno day last year, yeah, it was a shit dyno with wanky uninterested operators after some quick cash, but at previous dyno runs that nismo took his trx on that were more professionally operated, he dyno'd 80kw at the wheels. so i'd assume that my figure at the wheels would be quite similar. and i have since had a chip installed.


and sammyj, it probably doesnt help your cause calling people dogs.. its quite clear that no one has attempted to offend you in any way with their postings, so as joczy has said, it might be in your best interest to calm down a little if you want to get any help with things.


if your engien is lacking power, which is basically what your saying, try checking your your throttle cable, it may be incorectly adjusted, check the air cleaner, although, by the looks, you'd have no problems jsut recently fitting a pod. it could be a fault in the fuel supply system. check for a clocked fuel filter, check for water in your fuel, or an incorrect fuel pressure. you may also have faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plugs, or maybe excessive high tension lead resistance. your alternator could be pumping out an incorrect voltage, or it could be as simple as a loose earth connection somewhere. and lastly, ensure your exhaust hasnt been blocked... if you react much the same way to people in real life as to what you were to people here in the last few days, someone may have shoved a wet towel up you exhaust pipe, which would also explain your exhaust sounding different.. just a few thoughts.

Just thought of something after reading noss`s post
Check and make sure that catalytic converter hasn`t failed
This would block exhaust gasses, affect power and have different exhaust sound

Didn't you mention you already had a new cat sammy???

Man if I said something that was offending I'm real sorry. I revved my car much up to 6000 and got 200km/h. I was too scared to rev it harder than that so who knows. The only reason we "disputed" your claim of 120 in 2nd is that none of us can do it! More interested than anything.

in what gear richtrx?

in 5th, i was revving at around 3500-4000rpm and i was sitting well above the 200km/hr limit of the speedo, i'd be guessing 215km/hr

You telling us noss that you too are getting round the 110/120 in 2nd mark?
Having advanced my timing a few days back, i noticed my speed in the gears fall quite a bit (eg.round 90-95 in 2nd) but power down low, pick up quite a lot.
For me, id take acceleration over top end, but thats how I like it. Maybe with extractirs, I might get some of the topend back

i'm saying that i'm around 110km an our when i hit the rev limiter. but i dont htink i'd get over the 110km/hr mark, but i might do, i'll suss it out a little more tonite maybe.

i haven't advanced my timing, but i would take the acceleration over the top end. but at prices ranging between $1.02 to $1.14 a litre for premium petrol, i dont really feel like chewing thru petrol faster than what i already do.

I... umm.... Sorry that was a big mistake I actually meant 100km/h.....

I didn't wanna rev it to the limiter so really speaking in that extra 500rpm you could get another 10+ km/h out of the car.

OK well here we go with another argument guys!!!!!

Two days ago my mate Terry thought he would tailgate me so I floored it and kept an eye on the speedo/tacho... From that:: I reached a max of 160km/h and the tacho read nearly exactly 4000 in 5th gear. Oh no mistake the car was still accellerating hard when I got to that speed but there was kinda a town called Macclesfield approaching... quicker than usual....

at 4000rpm in 5th gear? i dont believe that.. hehe.. but that is what ur saying you've done so yeah.. i was closer to 4000rpm when i was past the dials limits, but that is what i got to.

when i put in all my cars specs to car test, it says that i should not be able to go over 198km/hr, but i have been, and with plenty of revs to go. so i dont know.

SammyJ

New exuast new, cat ,new spark plugs, new leads new, pod ,  changed oil, new filter......lots of dyno runs.....thats a lot of money...........

Why dont you ask your cousin, the person you bought the carfrom,  of  its mods???
That way, you'll know what other work has been done (maybe internals) and could link that too the problem?

Maybe the car was advanced something crazy, and during your last dyno run (after which your car started playing up) the guys who performed it, made the car ping to the bullshit, causing some internal fault?

Stop wasting money on relacing stuff that you may think it is. Get it looked at seriously. Given the good once over..........unless that is, you have lots of money to do that stuff. lol

just out of curiosity sammyj, what gear were u in where u got ur peak power figure?? it shows around 110-112k's using the eyecrometer, if that was in second, this could go a long way to proove that u could do around 115 in second gear. just a thought!

i wound out my car once to 200kmh with crazynizgirl in the car, and from memory the car was only doing around 4700rpm, still with plenty more to go, and thats with 2 ppl in the car as well, so maybe our top speed could be around 220 maybe 230? if we can get sum more horses out of these engines, we could get sum nice top end speed  ;D although with so many speed cameras, maybe this is just a bad idea!!

sammy id get the car checked over, main emphasise on the electrical side of things first, anything that has an impact on the motor, then head to mechanical.

Scraping sound in brakes sounds like you need new pads - getting close to metal to metal by sound of it

This is quite common so would look at it first and arrange to get discs machined if your putting new pads on as this will give better clamping pressure and reliability out of your brakes

where have u done those crazy speeds? Would've wanted a pretty nice wide open straight road.

I've found that my TRX does 20km/h for every 500rpm in 5th. ie. 1500 @ 60, 2000 @ 80, 2500 @ 100 so shouldn't it be about 5000 at 200? I've done 120 and it was 3000 so it seems pretty consistant.

yeah we have this problem in r/c cars, so i made a rollout calculator in excel, so if i know the final ratio, the gearbox ratio and the tyre diameter, i can work out the rpms per kmh, but change any of these and the figures are affected, the biggest in our cars will be the tyres, what size rims and profile of tyres afftect it, even down to how much tread is on the tyre because the diameter is times'd by pie (3.142...)
 
in our racing the tyres start off at about 68mm in diameter, they are foam and wear a bit so by the end of the day ur tyre can be down to 63mm and u have to change ur gearing or u end up getting blown in a straight line cos ur motor is revving out
The car developed an electrical problem after the conrod knocked the distributor off

Dam right ...the last time i did 170   i was so thrilled....i got this really exciting adrenalin rush....i felt so good....and then suddenly i saw the flashing lights bfhind me...DAmn  F%&*g cops...(though i gotta say the TRX  just cruisess along at 170   ...(in a 80 zone)..u dont even feel it)....  And then i pulled over to the side ....and the y check my license..with the authorities on the phone...as i had lost 11 points....and hadnt paid my last fine ...so my last 12 th point  wasnt recorded yet with the authorites.. i sighed a sigh of relief......Then the damn  pri^&*  in the uniform tell me i was doing around 140  to 150... ???  ...hmmm that made me thinkk.. i though fast...so they didnt have a speedgun...so they cant prove the speed.... i told them i was doing around 110   thats what the speedometer showed......anyway by now i was thinking ..no use of arguing as i technically already lost my license..with that last unpaid fine(  apparently   the points dont get deducted from your license until u pay the fine for the ticket)....  so to come back to the point... the coppers told me that they willl book me for 120..well i dint argue with them ...took the ticket ...and raced back home...
but damn i enjoyed that adrenalin rush that day...as it was the first time i actually stepped on the gas that day....and lost my license..(though tecnically it was already lost)....its 3 months past now (just got back my license).... and now i can again feel that adrenalin rush ..haha

yeah sammy, that happened to me, i fucked first gear, half of it was shattered & by the time i got it to the mechanic, it was completely pushed off the spindle that holds all the gears. it cost me $2500 to get fixed. the price is so high because of the lsd. if my parents werent helping me out with the cost of the box, i would of just bought an sr20

if the clutch is ok, you dont need to replace it, otherwise, get yourself a rpm heavy duty clutch. they retail for about $300 at repco.

2nd hand, the box will cost you $1500. or you can just forget about the lsd altogether, and fit a non lsd box, which will set you back between $700-900.

either way, when you buy a 2nd hand box, its the luck of the draw. i got a 2nd hand box, cost me the $1500, 2 days later, drove to brisbane, by the time i got there, all the oil had leaked out of it, so i had to pay a further $1100 to get the 2nd hand box reco'd

you may be able to get your box reco'd, but i doubt it, if you have done what i did, which it sounds like you have, the gearbox will not be able to get recod. another option is, for about $1800, you can get brand new parts in from japan, but the wait on the parts is around 21 days, plus 2 or 3 days to get the box completely rebuilt & refitted.

good luck with it.
