Hey boys, going to pick up my rims today and placing an order for tyres. Just wondering who you would trust with your rims to get fitted, i'm going for a stretched look on 20's and i really don't feel like picking them up with dents or marks or anything on my brand spankers. Thanks

Pretty tough R32 GTR just came past my work, was sort of a gun metal grey/matte black in colour. Had a GTR front bar and the turbo sounded so good. Heard it take off from up the road and come past, nearly jizzed.

So many tunes to do this week for Matsuri...! Who's going? Should be a good day.

If you aren't aware of the drift track just outside of mackay (About 50 mins away) - http://www.facebook.com/mackaydrift

Huge drift meet This saturday and sunday (22nd and 23rd).

Yeah 8sec pass is in the bag, which is pretty freaking awesome, ran a time of 8.97 @150mph and a 1.35 sec 60ft

. Believe it or not but this puts us 0.02 sec off Theo's world record for fastest H-pattern street tyred GTR, only a bee's dick in it. The car was re-dynoed at Godzilla Motorsport before the Jambo making 900rwhp on 30psi and the gear vs speed was setup so in 4th gear it was running approx 33psi. Had the car weighed as well and came in at 1440kg with half tank of fuel, bit heavy but has all steel panels still.

On the next run the boost was pumped up to approx 35-36psi which was probably close to 1000rwhp and launched the car, it was 3mph up by half track then 3rd gear decided to let go :( $$$$ oh well no world record this year. But hoping to smash it to bits once the gearbox is rebuilt. Can only get faster from now on considering there is approx 100kg + we can loose and it still has more power in the engine. Looking forward to next years Jambo f**k yeah.

f**k yeah

Was it an OS Giken gear set, seem to remember something like that. Where to from there?

Must be slightly disappointing. So close to the record its redicuolous lol. But I guess at that power/speed it doesn't take much.

Nah it was PPG Dogbox strongest box on the market but not Hipo GTR proof, where to from here probably strip the gearbox and see how much damage has been done it will be cheaper to rebuild it rather change setup then have another crack at the record.

That's right. I knew it was one of the top ones (would have to be lol)

Hopefully its not to bad then. Won't be real fun if your rebuilding gearboxes after every few runs

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.  
    • 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.
