Another great thing. Along with calibrating the dyno and having it 100% accurate, Morpowa also upgraded their software to the latest version, including full Shootout mode to make sure that all the results are identical to those interstate (at the Summernats etc). They also now have boost graph logging, which plots the shape of your boost response curve. Very interesting lag checking tool! Entrants will have access to all of this included in the entry price

anything up for grabs for car with most power. Hey martin what would it take to get a car in hpi or Zoom? just wondering, the computer in my old car is still going well and the Air con now works Thanks

Pawley, let us know what you are having done, sounds really good. If you are in the throes of such a mod, consider the 32GTR management swap, then remap. Its the most ripper bang for buck possible on a 33. Done a few lately, and their fuel/timing control is greater than that achievable with a Power FC.....for well under half the money

Enrico,

Just jumpin' in before Martin gives you the full info.

I'm "fairly sure" you CAN'T do the same straight swap from R33 GTS25t to R32 GTS-t ECU. This is partially due to the VVT on the GTS25t. I do recall reading about the ability to use the Z32 300ZX ECU though! As it has VVT.

Microtech ECU's are very straight foward as far as aftermarket ECU's go. That said I haven't played around with many of the settings on mine. Tim & Martin did a damn good job :)

Mine's an LT12. I also run the LT series 2 line handset - get one of these!

Got my car Dynoed at Morpowa yest cos i cant make it on the 17th of May.

Made 162 rwkws at 8psi which im happy about. AFRs are excellent and the only mods are dirty HKS filter and Full exhaust.

Thanks to martin and the crew at morpowa.

Oh the dyno is in FI forum somewhere. Ill find the link

G'Day Martin/Matt,

Count me in.

The boost curve and Shootout features sound nice, but can we also have air/fuel ratio included please.

I remember at the last SVD day, Tilbrooks did not want to do this as the probe was "a perishable item" and therefore did not want to use it up. A bit rough really when you pay between $30-50 to have a dyno.

Anyway, looking forward to the mix of cars.

Cheers,

Freebaggin.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
