No shit Steven!! GOOD IDEA!! :P You want my car? for two dowlla? It's a crap car now! Imma perfectionist!!

hehe Stewy, nah, I wouldn't cry, but I would prolly suffer from a heart attack...... :P

But yeah, I am not worrying much, just exaggerating things a little hehe :D

shouldn't cost me too much to repair that, oh yer, need to change thrust bearing too, cuz my car is making weird cluck cluck cluck noise whenever I step my foot down the clutch pedal :P

Any idea how much would cost me to get them fixed?

Lovely looking beast - i'm really coming around to the 33 GTR looks in that silver especially - maybe also 'cos everything on the 32 getting old!

If its a standard clutch, change that at the same time if you got any bucks left because it wont last long when your testing out that magical 7k RPM launch >_<

I paid $1100 installed for an Xtreme HD single plate in 05 and it's still clamping as well as ever. I guess thrust bearing would probably be around $3-500 depending where you go - pivot ball snapping a few days before christmas cost me $500 but that's more because of when not what.

I reckon ya can fix that mate, i had a friend with an rs turbo liberty that copped a massive bit taken out of his front bar(being plastic) and the plastic welded it and re painted it and it looks fine.

them 33 gtr bars are worth a dollar!

that sucks .... but it is nothing worse than you will do to it the first time you hit a decent spoon drain or carparking bump when you aren't expecting one. The Chips Away (or similar mobile duco repair mob) - they specialise in that sort of thing. The whole bar doesn't need to be repainted.

I can understand too. I bought my car in perfect condition with not even a car park ding on it.

Then one day I notice a small chip out of the paint from mrs effing who gives a sh*t's door.

Now it pisses me off everyday haha

      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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      spot the stagea

      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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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).
