Congrats CRD, great news.

Gotta agree with some previous posts about Japan no longer being the be all and end all of devlopment for the cars that come from there.

Personally I think the US market is streets ahead when it comes to this.

Having a V35 i can tell you 100% that a) the amount of aftermarket parts is 10 fold in the US compared to Japan, and b) with this volume the parts are much cheaper.

There are a lot of parts that people believe are much better because they're from a Japanese company. Some are but you can bet that the majority are just as good in the US.

Just browse around the web and see what the US guys are doing with Evo's and 350z's and compare that to Japan. Japan has some crazy cars, but the amount of workshops in teh US tuning and developing these cars is massive compared to Japan.

You can also bet your ar$e that the majority of aftermarket parts for the R35 will come from the US.

Greddy is quite big over there which to me means that CRD have pretty much taken the best possible route with teaming up with them.

Correct.

A worthless post that was irrelevant to this thread was removed, along with a response to it.

No worries, just making sure i wasn't missing a page for some strange reason.

Totally agree with the above post as in the past i have been mainly a 2JZ fanatic and as far as quality parts and development go the US has an abundance of ongoing development compared to the Jap tuning houses.

I have never been to CRD in my life, but they have been involved with many big dollar cars and involved in drag racing and circuit racing. So they have some runs on the board.

Irrespective, i find it laughable that people think it needs to be up to the Japanese shops to do the development on them. Australian engineers and tuners are amongst the best in the world. You only have to look at the ranks of Aussies in motorsport and the competitiveness of any Aussie race car that gets raced in a category abroad to know there is plenty of know how.

The Electronics and drivetrain will be the biggest question mark and require the most smarts. But the global market and application of components is huge, so a great opportunity if there is enough kitty to get the development under way

Lol I looked up youtube....funnny stuff.

hope none of GTRs get the fully sick treatment, although, 10 years down the line it probably will.

lol, nah i aint talking about that part... although that would be quite amusing to see i reckon :D

If i get the time i'll PM ya with what im talking about, it'll also be amusing too :D

Well said Roy,

Please put in a disclaimer about the Aussie GP2 team though :-)

I look forward to the story. :D

Which Aussie GP2 team? You mean A1GP ? They suck because the Australian team is paying a UK team to maintain the car and the team is hopeless funded and real driving talent has not been able to find their way into a drive. ;)

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
