Ive removed sound deadening, A/C, heaps of shit behind the dash so i should still be below the factory weight.

Wanna get it on a weigh bridge and see how much it is. Later on will be fibre/cf doors, bonnet, boot etc but not for awhile.

Thanks for that mate.

Im just in the process of going down that same path now. So I just wanna know from somone whohas done it, pros and cons.

Did you remove all the air con humidifier (spell?) and all that rubbish from behind the dash too?

Is it worth removeing all of the AC? Im assuming with the condenser and compressor there are a few extra Kg's there. Any idea on how much?

Is it a pain in the arse to drive without sound deadening in the front half of the cabin?

Thanks for the help mate,

much appreciated,

Cris

Unfortunately i had to leave the big box in behind the dash as it works with the heater and to pass inspections here u gotta have a heater :down: With the A/c, i removed all lines and condenser from the engine bay as well as the compressor. (heaps of weight in those)

With the sound deadening removed u can hear more of the exhaust and stones up in the guards. i dont really mind, just turn the music up more :)

Cheers

I bought them months ago and spent the whole time trying to decide whether to paint them the same colour as the car or not. Was bored the other day and decided to fit them

I think I made the right decision :rofl:

Here's mine freshly out of the workshop, the rims still havent been fitted as being a gts-4 I'm waiting on a set of gtr knuckles to hook up the 5 stud conversion...so yes the wheels dont fit the width of the car atm :D

    • 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.
