    if serious its worth the money, Racechrono with a bluetooth gps is best bang for buck for 97% of people. At $1400 the garmin is going to make you faster but to get even better at much greater expense going to need a lot of sensors on the car TP, Speed, Brake pressure, 3 axis accelerometer, steering angle and shock travel, tyre pressure & temp (internal & external) PLUS someone who understands it all and driver willing to listen and take it in. If at the track once a month minimum Garmin is good value. Maybe once every 3 months Racechrono and GPS module. If just want to be a baller sensors on everything with a good engineer. What everyone needs is a weekend of professional instruction & coaching then seat time, seat time, seat time. I have found that more useful than gadgets.

    Great got it out, how did you find the garmin? So when next day booked? Is it an older sensor? 4.2 or 4.9 ,interesting its failed. Ic7 is a big unit, if did something smaller like the Aim would be better and not as intrusive.
  3. robbo_rb180
    Yay no need to pull motor out. So Nexus, IC7 and new sensors?? Where is the wideband sensor? I have actually been putting them further down stream these days so not coping all the heat.
  4. robbo_rb180
    With those codes I would have said Cam or Crank sensors but they were replaced. Were brand new genuine or 2nd hande? Have you cleaned or checked cam control solenoid? I know on subaru's these will some time get gunked up or jammed with debris and filter baskets require cleaning

    Don't you have the race logic traction control now? So should be good for traction We change wheels and tyres for the road section on road trip stuff. Radials aren't fun on long drives. If you don't have miss matched wheels are you even drive a commoodore? I get the whole it looks same wheel setup have a go with the 17s and traction control setup should be a big difference.

    I'd be running the 15s with 255 et street as more side wall. The smaller side wall 17s will really require a softer spring to get it to work properly. Chuck them on when heading out to the drags and or throw in the boot with a floor jack and change there. If really wanting a lower 60 ft thats the easiest option.

    Weather looking good up at Morgan Park, QR and Lakeside........

    100000% this A helmet with Hans post can be found for 450ish (racelids) but bell is around 1100ish last time looked and a Hans around 400. Definitely get harness suited for Hans 2 inch over Hans back to 3inch as heaps more comfortable. The raceworks/mvp ones are good value and buckles/adjusters are nice. Looking forward to hearing how it goes on track. Going to pretty quick on the straight.

    From my quick mock up off car they fit, caliper to wheel face is the issue most people have. I don't really want to go 18s as will have to buy a heap of new wheels probably go 18 x 9.5 to 10 to get 295 as have to be worth the upgrade and then the knock on effect is will need wide body guards. Trying to keep the car close to IPRA spec just incase I want to run in that. Really need my shed up and car here so I can test mount everything. Car is 40mins away and I CBF dragging parts out there, jacking car up outside and working on the ground. Hoist has ruined me 😂 Evo brembo uses a different pad that is bigger, cheaper and more compounds available.
  10. robbo_rb180
    Kit came with the car, pretty sure 350mm. Want to fit them under my 17 inch te37's & gtr wheels, all my wheels are 17x9 in various offsets What ever one came up on ebay as brembo brake vinyl high temp.
  11. robbo_rb180
    I've used that vinyl on my car with no issues so far. Painted caliper with high temp paint, applied vinyl then sprayed with high temp clear. Over 18months not fading or discolouring. Yeah those brakes will be big enough for the car, some quality pads, fluid and ducting should be able to run full session issues too. I think my evo setup may be overkill for me.
  12. robbo_rb180
    Almost a full resto, good yout getting little bits done so its more reliable. When is the next trip out to the drags?
  13. robbo_rb180
    Check all intercooler pipes for leaks Check all Vac lines for leaks Use consult to check error codes Clean and adjust IACV Once done all that if not fixed find a quality mechanic that knows the platform Other wise its just this:

    Essentially everything is non neo so no need for Neo loom then. Change plugs required on r32 loom which is easy. Anything additional can br wired and program changes in the link ecu and be fine. I started with a link plugin and factory loom in my sil80 before going an xtreme and custom loom.
  15. robbo_rb180
    Does it happen once the car warms up? Check that there is a ground strap from the block to chassis and the condition of the coil loom is good with no resistance issues. If can get ecu try that but will be something else.

    the GTX 3076 will easily make over 320Kw on ethanol no need for cams as will only shift powerband up higher. My old gt3076 does 300kw on 16psi. I am guessing you want more power? Ditching the freddy plenum and 90mm throttle body will improve the torque & response everywhere.
  17. robbo_rb180
    do you have the apexi FC already........
  18. robbo_rb180
    Before getting another ecu. Has a comp test or leak down test been done? Is it using coolant? Have you connected consult and looked for any error codes or weird trigger readings? Shouldn't be too hard finding an ECU, look around on facenovel or scumtree sales pages
  19. robbo_rb180
    Ignition idle control gives the best ghost cams 😂
  20. robbo_rb180
    Got to find that niche job to get you where you want to be. Good effort still being in, only a short time to go. Finding a good one is hard. No, interesting who is still using the forums. That sounds like a great retirement.
  21. robbo_rb180
    Both r34 ecu connectors are the same. Easiest way is to just have both looms out laid out, both wiring diagrams and remove what is not needed on r34 loom then get new plugs and wire up whats required to r32 body plugs so its complete plugin. If using the standard r34 ecu. Are you wanting to run the Neo on a non-Neo ecu? Injectors, coils, IACV and CAS are all wired different.

    https://www.kelfordcams.com/index.php/nz/camshafts/nissan/rb20-25de-det Better off with a set of more modern cams from Kelford. Email them about your needs and they will recommend most suitable cam profile. I have a set of poncams, they dropped in and did valve springs too. Only because that was al that available in 2009...... More lift is what you want
  23. robbo_rb180
    What are you trying to achieve using it? Are you putting the Rb Neo into a r32/33?
  24. robbo_rb180
    Yeah better than the matching number vin, engine and screws crowd . I'm 37 feel much older when I have to deal with under 30 crowd 😂😅 Think may have to move part of this discussion to Wasteland so @Duncan get on with his build thread.
  25. robbo_rb180
    Unhip 🤣 Would actually like to know the age group of the usual suspects here? Thinking I may be hanging out in the retirement village..............
