so mario sold it to CRD and he isnt involved any more ?

Wonder why its stripped ?

Its stripped because its undergoing an extreme weight reduction...this is needed to compete on the world stage against the big Japanese and New Zealand cars. No point building a monster engine and driveline if your hauling all that bulk down the strip.

Any idea why weight reduction wasn't carried out before? I'm sure it was done to some extent...

Yeah...but you must remember...this car evolved from a HKS 2540 powered street car, and with the evolution of the car the goals of the car changed. This time the car is stripped bare and all facets of the car will be looked at with one goal....to beat HKS....CRD now have total control of the decisions, the build and the budget. They certainly have the expertise and personnel at their disposal to achieve this, but only time will tell.

Niiiiice good to hear. I expect this will probably be quite unrecognizeable in its next stage - HKS's time WILL go down soon. No shame to them though, they were miles ahead of the game for years.

Once they beat the best ET of HKS i reckon you might see HKS come back to australia with a fatser time again or maby even a show down.

Whats to say Australia will be where they will have to defend their time? :dry: Heat Treatments may only be a meet away from beating them...

From what I read/was told a while ago, the HKS car is substantially lighter than GTR-700. It is comprehensively stripped and is just the chassis, panels, motor and seat. It is even lacking alot of the safety gear ANDRA dictate GTR-700 must run which gives it another weight advantage.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
