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.

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
