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).

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
