My car will sport this kit at one point in my lifetime. This I solemnly swear.

BN Sport, URAS, TBO, Aeromaster, Final Konnexion, D-Max.... y'all can GTFO. GTO-RS win.

That is all.

Now... here's the porn:

whats with the trailer lights stuck on the headlights as indicators lol and shitty welding around the strut towers meh the kit dosent do much for me im afraid

Trailer lights stuck on the headlights as indicators...? Don't know what you are smoking but all I see is factory cefiro indicators.

Shitty welding around the towers is stitch welding (aka seam welding) improves structural rigidity, agreed the welding could look better but meh.

I think the kit would look better if it wasn't soo low to the ground, and the actual car was lower.

zomg... A31RB25... its the same front bumper as the one in your avatar. What is it?

it's not the same front bumper. the one in my avatar is an old Workshop X front bar from NZ. doesn't have the same GTR style air intakes in the centre of the bar as the GTO kit, nor does it have the same air intakes either side of the bar (as far as i can tell). the WSX kit also appears to have a smaller section above the cooler. both look to be based on the R33 400R kit, as somebody else mentioned

the GTO bar would look so much better in 1 colour (the rest of the kit probably would too)

hehe guess I'll just settle for the Workshop X fronto bamparu. not a fan of their chunky sides and no rear look tho. wish someone local made some sideskirts that didn't come out at 45 degrees like Uras n BN etc. like a vertex I suppose.

Guest a31rb25

the WSX kit is still made them. they updated the design a few years back, there's a shitload of pics of the newer front bar getting about, pretty sure most people on here would have seen a pic of one on a laurel or ceffy in NZ.

when i looked into getting one the kit was approx $800 and that was without a rear bar, and before freight.

I like it. Looks tough and a bit different.

The SR is a bit gay, but it has a nice trust snail hanging up off it so it makes up for the SRs gayness.

In all, a freakin tough looking car. Those pics dont really do it justice.

    • @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.
    • 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.
