so ill decide when i get back... probably not something perforamnce, ive almost had enough... a 4WD maybe? have to wait n see

Hmmm sounds like what i did....almost got a 4WD too :-)

But now i really miss my car.... wasnt anything overly fast (14.0sec), but was fun to drive and looked ok as well. So im on the hunt soon for a new car :-)

BTW Sorry this is off topic

Haha Jash - my parents tried to get me to appreciate HSV's as theyve always owned them - obviously their evil brainwashing didnt work on me haha

Back to the topic: All cars depreciate - they arent the best investment, but we all dont want to lose our money too quickly either. JimiH the fact that your R32 is quite unique to look at - u have working in your favour :P

most of the SAU vic members seem to be wanting an R32 GTR over the coming 12-18 months.. so if that is any indication get ready for an onslaught of people wanting R32 GTRs :) hell, i am even considering one next year (although a 92 or something)

i think R32GTR's will hold around high-20's low 30k's no matter how the import laws changes things.

I think we'll just wait and see. ATM I just can't justify $25K for a 15 YO R32 GTR. Yeah it's a dream car but it's still 15 YO.

As far as HSV's go a guy at work is looking at a GTS300 thingy second hand. There $93 K new and $53 a year old with 20K on the clock and 3 year warranty !

Last time I complain about depreciation.

The rule looks like its gonna change so you may be buying $15000

wreckers. R32s will become classic very fast as thay ere the only

true Godzilla.

The 300kw Commonwhores are only making 248rwhp here and

the 255kws are making 240rwhp so something fishys going on

the best 300kw went 317 with NOS- Heavy Slow Vehicals-

We got an R33GTS up to 255rwhp today @12psi, Per4manz intercooler,full exhaust,and a power up bleed valve. HSV Predator.

i might just step out of this one...every thing you've written is just a bunch of letters to me. i've read it and read it and i just don' t understand it :confused:

The Aussie distributed ones are easy to tell agreed, the inner circle of the inboard tail light does have the orange indicator in it, I know I own one and love the beast. In a town full of HSV's haven't found anyone willing to have there nose rubbed in the dirt yet.

PS Does anyone know where I can get hold of a original D/S floor matt, the whole car is dead stock bar the floor matt and I want to keep it that way.

Please let me know you guy out there in Skyline land

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
