i'll be running the car next wed so i'll post my results :P

Still running tonight? I'll look out for you :down:

I've always had 60ft problems in my GTR, 11.7 @ 122... I'm looking forward to seeing what improvements you make :laugh:

Mounted one of the tyres on the rim and tried it on the car today there are clearance issues everywhere what a bummer my own fault I should have taken some proper measurements before hand . Really do need the 275/17's but there aren't any in the country . Looks like I might just have to put some normal 45 profile road tyres on the 17 inch rims I've got suppose they have to be better then the 19's and 30 profile .

I could have told you that. The only reason I ordered the 295's is because I can't get hold of 275/17's at the moment but looks like Rocket will have a shipment in next week after speaking to them on the phone today . One thing I can't work out is the M/t size chart the measurements don't seem to match up . They have the 295/45/17 equivalent to a 28inch slick and the 275/40/17's equivalent to a 26inch slick . Thing is I just measured my 295's and they are nowhere near 28inchs tall more like 26 and 26inches is still too big for the wheel arches . I would be interested to find out the exact height of the 275/40/17's.

Marko picked up his rubber today...even supplied him some coilovers.

They were out of Mark Jacobsen's GTR when it was running mid 8's on the same rubber so should suit the car just fine.

No excuses not to blast into the 10's now mate.

hi guys (& paul),

i probably shouldn't post this here but it seems that i am surrounded by knowledgeable guys on this particular thread so here goes:

I have noticed over the past week or so that my peak knock level on my power fc handcontroller reads up to 107, but only has occured a few times!

i then discovered today the reason my knock is peaking @ 107 is because when I start the car sometimes the power fc picks up a massive knock reading when im cranking the car! i monitored this today & repeatedly started the car as it showed this high reading on average every 5th start.

it sounds to me like the knock sensors are picking up sound from maybe the starter motor or when the starter motor actually engages the flywheel...weird huh...does anyone else have this issue?

another thing as well - if i take the car to redline when the fuel cut occurs will this also register a higher than normal knock level?

i had my car booked tomorrow for crd to check over but maybe this isnt required, i dont want to waste jim's valuable time.

regards,

when i ran a Power FC ialways reset the peakhold after starting engine for that very reason.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
