im about to fit a lexan passengers window and remove the drivers (will use a net instead) You have to retain a glass windscreen for saftey in most events.

By the time you remove the glass, motor, regulator and wiring assosiated with it there can be decent savings per door.

Ive also removed all the old steel lines this week and replaced with alluminium/ speed flow fittings.

The steel ones are really not that heavy but the alloy is lighter and its fresh.

Andrew whilst you not using that headlight can I borrow it and make a mould? I want to make a carbon item but cant find a decent one to mould it from.

yeah no worries!

i wouldnt mind having a peek at that dry sump you have there.

not long now till the motor is here!

No worries, next time you have a free weekend come past home an check it out.

The whole engine is sitting out atm so its pretty easy to see how its all been set-up prior to being fitted to the car.

Im still working the small bugs out that I ran into on a spare engine before fitting into the car for the last time.

Biggest problem im having is the actualy sump pan and scavneger.

Aaron was telling me about the engine you have coming over, sounds like you found a half decent buy with it, well done.

If you want to offload the old donk let me know, may be interested as a 2nd spare.

All we did for the lexan windows was use a strap buttoned to the window from the inside and then velcro it to the roll cage to keep it tight, only downside to this is trying to put some tension(from the outside) on them when transporting the car. otherwise it works well.

Yeah i'll come over some time this week if thats good!

this is what i picked up Apparently a 34 N1 motor that was possibly rebuilt, and put into a 32 bought, then smashed after 3000km of ownership.

yer but skyline windows are hard to fit due to a frameless door and they have to be made out of 5mm material and are thermo formed to get correct curve.

easy to form them just put in boiling water for a few minutes then clamp it to the original glass to cool. would be 15 or more kgs in weight saving from all glass being replaced

from all glass?

i removed the front windscreen from the r32 shell and its 10 kgs,i'd say rear windscreen would be 10kgs or more.

so if the plastic weighs 1-2 kgs each replacement, you cud end up saving 18-16kgs from just the front+rear windscreens alone

how much do door windows weigh? (i dont have a spare one)

i have seen r32 gtr in option videos weight 1000-1100kg cool.gif i see if i can find which one it is in and upload it

if ya do www.megaupload.com

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
