i'll swap you...

Hey its nice...but are you mad? Your car is mint in every way, with plenty of hardcore parts, power, brakes, suspension and body. You both have immaculate cars, but your car is Aus delivered and has so many good parts to have a hand feed over.

That surely is an epic build. I love everything about this car exactly what id want from a gtr. I hope to do one of these builds some day :P Awesome car mate. What kind of power is it making?

  • 2 weeks later...

hi guys, well a little update with some sad and happy news. the car is now sold ;) but on the bright side it's going to a good friend of mine who I know will give it a great home. I'll miss the little fella, but I'm so pleased it's going to someone I know. ;)

haha, you old cynic you!

for the record I didn't sell the car through the thread, or even through the forum at all. The guy who bought it is now even a member here that I know of. It was not meant to be an ad. just some people on here who knew about the car encouraged me to post something up about it as it's a little bit different and I held off until the car was finished. and then when it was finished that week my new crate motor arrived for the other GTR, so it was almost time to let this one go..... etc etc you know how it goes.

Just pullin ya leg for shits and giggles bud. Damn nice job. :P

haha, it's ok mate. :(

there will be one more update though. before it goes to it's new home I will be getting it given a more agressive tune, and some boost, and some cam gear adjustment. I will be pissed if it doesn't break 300rwkw and silently dissapointed if it doesn't break 325rwkw. I will be happy with anything over 325rwkw. should do it easy on around 20pound. and hopefully around 290 or so on 1 bar for low boost setting.

my guess is it will be around 330-340rwkw at 20psi and around 300 at 14psi. I would attempt a backflip if it gets to 350rwkw.... everyone should be handy to witness that one...

haha, I have heard he is also smarter than einstein, hung like a malee bull and far better looking than brad pitt....

folks, mean irish. the illusive new owner.

    • 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.
    • 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).
