I had such an adrenilin rush last night....tset of traffic lights a VX HSV,celica turbo & XR6 turbo pulled up beside me :wub: not sure if the HSV was worked or not it was louder then standard but the xr6 was really beefy you could her the spoolin really loudly and it sounded like it was a big v8 when he steped on it. I only have a stock r32 gtst .

We had a series of runs and each time i kept up with both these cars up until about 100km p/h then they pulled away bout a car length, the celica was nowhere to be found.

Does this sound about right for my stock GTST or should i feel proud they didnt walk all over me

your comments please.. :D

I'm waiting for the street racing lectures to start..

No need to be smart about it. Bragging about your "wins" at the lights is silly. It is detrimental to the SAU comuunity too. Makes the rest of us look like immature boy racers.

are you sure they weren't just drving home?

must have been a pretty special place as off the top of my head i can only think of about 3 or 4 four lane roads each way with trafffic lights.

i doubt that they were racing you mate. i have driven all sorts of cars in my job and i am telling you now they were not trying or just absolute retards. an xrt or clubby would absolutly chew a stock 32.

the celica on the otherhand is another story!!!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
