Sif not put me up on the list!! :) I helped bag you and your white nugget out!! Would you like fries and a coke with that?? :)

Dont worry Steveo, when the flag drops your bullsh!t stops :bunny:

See you in 3 months.... not 2 years!! :D

Hey everyone!

My GTR's back on the road with a respectable power figure now, and ive got a lot of people to thank who have helped in either a small, or a huge way to the rebuilding of my car - so here's the list in no particular order;

Norm

Norms parents

Amy

Slide

Steve (UK)

Andrew (Hearne)

Andrew (Norms mate)

Sh@un

Dave TO4GTR

Anna

Nathan (DRIFTER) 02 Autosports

Greg Autosport engineering

All the guys at Powerplay

South coast rotary (thanks heaps junior!)

Simon and John Westmore for all the welding and tricky bits

Rocket Industries

LJ

Angry Liz

Jess

Victor

Nick (INTUNE)

Duncan

If there's anyone ive missed im sorry - its been a very long build!

So - the result? 476hp at the wheels on 21psi. Stock cams and cam gears not dialled in

Really, really nice to drive, its not a pig or a dyno queen . Its pulls very hard from 3800rpm to 7000rpm where the revcut is set to, so its sort of like the stock twin turbo setup but more power and more torque.

On the way home last night it had zero traction in first, second AND third (remember, its awd). Last night on the highway, in 3rd gear, up a hill, on semi's - it had no traction whatsoever......and i love it! Shaun will no doubt post up what he thought in detail.

Next step is to add the big brakes, drop in some cams, dial in the cam gears then do the gearbox.

Smoky: You've got no chance, sorry ;)

Well worth the wait, See you all at the track on Saturday :mage:

congrats stevo

i wnna be just like YOU!

wait...

no.

i want to have a car just like yours!

lol

*caugh*bullshit*caugh*bullshit*caugh*

*flees :D

:)

I don't see my name up there?? I'm pretty sure I've picked up old parts for you? haha!

I feel unloved

Fixed

More pics Stevo

They're coming, ill do a decent photo shoot soon

Any chance you will be giving out the odd passenger lap on Saturday?

Yeah dont see why not, there's a few people keen to have a lap or two. Come up and say hi, wont be hard to miss

lol, sif put you on the list! You havnt helped, you've hindered :)

Bring your helmet on saturday ;)

EDIT: Ill ring you after work and ill come round quickly

You want to go in a car with 350rwkws with a driver who has been driving a stock supra and stock commodorre for the last 2yrs?

You are insane!

BTW - what made you choose SCR for the tune? Did your engine builder suggest them?

Oi, no laps for you / soup nazi voice

Ive driven it for a few weeks before stepping up to bigger power.

SCR tuned it the first time it was tuned, they dont just do the job, they ask if you're happy before doing anything, explain everything in detail, ask exactly what i want done, dont mind me watching what they're doing, and they open when i need them open - plus they're great guys down there, really friendly and helpful. So it was back to them for this tune, and the next one (whenever that is) will be there

Yeah dont see why not, there's a few people keen to have a lap or two. Come up and say hi, wont be hard to miss, ill be the one getting lapped :D

Yeah i figured that, but what made you choose them in the first place? after all SCR stands for South Coast Rotaries. not South Coast RB's :D

:happy:

lol, my car is faster in the wet than yours will ever be in the dry :)

Im coming around to yours tonight, its on biatch!

Nice work Stevo, got the new bonnet over the mighty 30 yet? picsorban?

Nah mate :(

Looks like a z tune vent will be the go - tried a CF one and tried a fibreglass one but thats a no go on both! Very suprised the CF one didnt fit

Yeah i figured that, but what made you choose them in the first place? after all SCR stands for South Coast Rotaries. not South Coast RB's :P

I went there for the first tune cause they were the closest from the place i picked the car up from when it had the first "batch" of mods done, and they worked out for this tune aswel - perfect timing and great service, cant say no to that!

What happened??

congrats on getting the car back on the road :)

how long has it been?

Rings on number 6 were stuffed, heaps of blow by under long periods of hard load (eg the straight at OP GP) and the oil kept on being sent out the dipstick, when we pulled it down it was a good thing we did, bearing on 6 was about to let go

Been a tad over 2 years

Lazy.

I was so lazy i bought a twin turbo supra to keep me happy in the interim cause it was easier to spend 20k on a supra than 20k on gtr parts.......but still bought the gtr parts

    • @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.
