I welcome any extra competition - Bring it on I say! :)

Me too :laugh:

C'mon Troy, we need the Silvia vs Skyline faceoff!

Troy: You want a 1.35 at Winton with the current setup?? Fark man, that's quick!

Looking at times I have seen from certain cars...I would love to do a 1:35.99. But I realistically know that's the one track where my lack of finesse will hurt and would be stoked if I did a low high 1:36. Will be happy with anything in the 1:37s. At 1:41, I need a bullet between the eyes. The car is quicker then that...its just that at Winton I either catch on fire of run out of fuel :(

What did Chris do around there last year, I thought it was a 1:35??

Though Winton suits our cars I think, light and nimble.

Yeah. 1.35.5. 1.34 in Snowys car in Dutton '05

Troy your car wont do a 1.35 around winton. I think you will struggle to get lower than a 1.37.5

Nah, the more you drive winton in the R it becomes a GTR track. If you can drive it with the rears on slight spin then you get pulled around the track by the FWD. I think GTR has one up on you guys there too.

Although I did see a mirage kick my ass at a Winton Fri practise day. So it can be done with light and small.

so this is still going ahead? I checked the thread on the REX forum and they were still talking about the cost...Can i assume tis going ahead - for somer eaosn my logon isn't working on the rex forum.

I'm buying new rims and tyres so i hope its going ahead.

PI wil be going ahead.

The thread on the WRX Forum was just a heads up regarding cost so the regs don't freak out when the supp regs are posted.

Argh, we've got no advantage anywhere do we??! :)

The Mirage does 1:10 around Wakefield...and im pretty sure im at least 1.5 seconds quicker there. (I have done a 1:13 on mismatched street tyres, 130-140rwkws)

Around Winton a Mirage does 1:37s. So like i said, i hope to be able to do the same time...but throw a good driver in my car i think it would give a 1:35 a shake

See you kents there, if Ray ever finishes with my damn car!! hoping for mid 1:50's for my first run of the R34 at PI :spank:

If you stop breaking things and buying cheap parts off ebay it might spend more time in your garage not his.

Just my 2 cents :ninja:

:P Cheap parts off ebay? Riight... I've bought heaps of parts off ebay. None of them have given me any issues, so maybe you should find out what your talking about first? The time it's taken is because of custom work required due to the head/bottom end differences and getting the plenum and getting the throttle body, TPS, TCS, idle control, etc. all working.

At least I can run a track day without lunching my synchos.. ;) Just my 2c..

Not sure if you call a HKS copy turbo a quality part, but I suppose when you start putting GTRguards, GTR rear difuser and GTR off set rims on a GTT you can think many weird things...

As to the synchros, as mentioned in previous posts, my bad, I shouldn't have gone out with a worn clutch. live and learn.

Also, at least I can keep it off the wall...even if I only go to the track once a year, it's still off the wall :O

Just admit it, you have GTR envy :P

Nick, it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about so I wont have to say any more. HKS copy? ;) Like you're an expert. But that's ok if you like to think so. Indeed... my 'GTT' was faster than your GTR around Winton... so why would I have to envy?

When you finally get your new clutch I'd love to go faster than you again with my "HKS copy" 2835 pro-s. Any time champ. :P

No I'm not the expert but turbo place that inspected it are :)

Like I said in the previous post.. I don't hit walls :D

You might have been quicker which all comes down to practice, but if you want to make this a dick thing by saying your car is quicker than mine or (or your d..ks bigger than mine) ...well we both know the truth to tha now don't we......Mine on both occassions. LOL

You might be dumb enough to push it to the limit and care if you hit a wall so if taht will make you quicker, so be it :)

It's all a bit of fun Matt.

:laugh:

My turbo is fine, certainly has plenty of response, actuator holds boost and it meets the HKS specs, can you believe it actually has the same comp housing and wheel trim of HKS? Outrageous. How silly of me to think it's genuine. :wave: Excess heat was the cause of my issues with the turbo.. just ask Ray why. But if you'd rather talk to the 'turbo place' that doesn't even have the equipment to balance a turbo cartridge because they're turbo experts (who've never seen a HKS exhaust housing before) then be my guest!

I never mentioned anything about Dick size, but since you brought it up.. perhaps you're the one with envy? LOL. That's ok, yes I hit the wall due to a stupid mistake in wet conditions from being impatient - that's not what I'd call pushing the limits :D But you know what? At least I'm out there having fun. Maybe you should care more about your lap times if you want to start talking about GTR envy :)

All a bit of fun :wave:

    • 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. 
    • 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.
