Spoke to Kutzie yesterday and he can squeeze me in for a dyno tune next thusday.

Those of you who don't know me, my R31 coupe has been off the road for 6 months (and it's my daily driver)

It's still in pieces and I have put an aussie R31 wiring loom in it and some engine mods etc etc.

I hope to see you all on the roads very soon, it's like a little kid at christmas.

Should be 250rwkw - 270rwkw and a grin from ear to ear.

Scott.

i'm in the same boat. Got the engine & gbox on jackstands, i've got 1 turbo hooked up tonight, and should get the otherone on tomorrow night, then put the engine back in on the weekend. And i'm hoping i get my brakes back to put on next week.

Been frigging round on mine for 6 months too.

ohhh i miss driving it.

yeah it was a great ride, pitty about my ctack, that wat the same day Matty got his big speeding fine and had to go to cort. LOL.

Bikes, cars, all the same, the're and addiction.

NOPE not for me, i just dont get the same enjoyment from a car as that of a bike.

Probably cause i cant do half of what i do on a bike in a car >_<

DAMN IT i want another bike :D

Yep i will add to the list as well mines been off the road now for 7 months putting a RB25 in my R32 im just hoping its worth the wait

:laugh: for your sake Ray so do i.

Im sure it will be worth it, but once its done you need to start driving the thing.

I've only seen it 3 times since you have starting building that car , now i know its not a daily but its an RB.

For gods sake man it deserves a flogging atleast once a week :D

Is it back in Tassie yet and how much more have to you got to go till it see's the road again???

Tell me about it. I fried my clutch on suday, and if it wasn't for Aaron form Slide Performance, i would not have a clutch till after the new year. Hopefully mine will be here tomorrow, and then get it in over night.

nope, not nana spec, it's just not Wog Proof. LOL.

Well it's a bit hard to drive on two wheels but i'll try.

Well yes it is rather hard to drive a car on 2 wheels, but then again you could do what Pat does and do a lap of Basky on 2 wheels :(

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
