That was great reading

The only thing sucked was the prices he was quoting on all the cars.

We are getting D$%K%D in Australia.

I mean HSV...$80K Aus.....M3....$75K in America....lol...I know which I would buy.

Whats an M3 in Australia...$180K

lol havnt read that article yet but corvette ZR1 fanboys where thinking they would own the vspec but apparently it looks like it wont even beat base model GTR round the nurbburgerring. base GTR is 7 min 38 sec, ZR1 apparently looking over 7 min 40 sec. Vspec is hoping for 7 min 25 ish

oh the embarrasment ha ha ha

ZR1 being the first car to come out of america that CAN go around corners, I'd hardly expect it to do well around the ring of hel. Having said that, 7:40 for a first timer is quite amazing.

7:40 for a 2WD road car with mechanical suspension, that isn't some featherweight kit car Lotus 7 copy, is still really impressive.

Most of the 2WD cars in that bracket are supercars like the Carrera GT, Zonda, etc, that would have far more R&D and exotic materials poured into them than the Corvette.

EDIT: Just read that the ZR1's 7:40 time was in the damp, which would affect a 2WD car noticably more than a 4WD one. That time is looking more and more impressive.

yeah...top effort to them. This is actually a better comparison since both the GTR and the ZR1 did their laps in damp condition. Now they need a dry track time for both cars and let the fanboy/interforum fights begin lol.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
