Pretty cool race. It's great to seet an F50 and Diablo racing. Sure the Porsche GT2 is old though still a pretty fast car.

Including a stock R34 is just a silly inclusion in this company. Just out of interest, how much money would you need to spend on a R34 to get it up with the front runners. Some people I imagine would say "just up the boost" though in reality I imagine you would need to throw at it.

Anyway hope you enjoy it.

Yes the R34 is a GTR but in my opinion a stock GTR is severly outclassed in that company. I understand that a heavily modified GTR will be able to keep up though a stock GTR is always going to be beaten. It gives a good reference point as to how fast the other cars are.

Putting a GTR34 in amongst F50's, F40's, Diablo's and the like is just plain unfair. You might outrun them on a twisted road, but on an open circuit (e.g. Tsukuba), it's going to get annihilated. It would be interesting as a matter of fact to post the stats on these cars to see exactly how out-muscled the GTR is in this mix.

This was always going to be an unfair fight for the GTR. Sorry to hardcore Skyliners, but it ain't no F40... not even close!

As a matter of reference, check this out:

Just to prove a point, the F50 runs a flat 12 quarter mile, and the F40 is quicker again! And these are cars that are known to be quicker on the track than on the drag strip... there's no way a GTR can compete unless VERY heavily modified. Then again, you'd still have money left over for the difference in buying an F40 / F50... something to consider.

I thought the F50 looked super too. You don't realise how good some cars look until they are next to another great car. The wing looks a bit old school though it was sort of a leader of it's times and surely everyone would want to own one (except for maybe those who own an Enzo or Zonda, Carerra GT, Vehron, McLaren SLR, McLaren F1, Koenigsegg, et al. or GTS25T in my case).

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
