what is the ruling on wheels, can the r35 GTR enter with SMALLER than standard wheels eg: instead of the standard 20 inch wheels, can it run 18 inch wheels?

purely hypothetical of course :D lol

and if you could please tell me what is the ruling on the exhaust mods on a GTR.

Russ - You can apply to run whatever size you like inplace of 19 (TRD Aurion did it this year) and 20" (the C7 Vetts did this year) rims (ends up with me so all cool), but suitable R's for the 35 are coming onto the market now.

Steve was considering downsizing with the DK 35 this year, but he ended up getting those 400mm rotors so had to stick with 20s.

Woo - $80k for the 34... would he swaps a '97 3 series, a half arsed half finished RX7 SP knock off, a 33 GTSt and a couple of entries to TT?!

Never know! lol

Although, I've already hit him with trading my bike, two cars, a boat, and 7000 Boomerangs! lol

7000 boomerangs... not sure if it's just me, but how much fun would it be throwing them off somewhere like Sydney Tower!!

What all 7000 of them? Hell Yeh!

on the weight front Benny you will be glad to know I have lost 1 Kg!

Yeah all 7000... Not all at once obviously, launch them like ten at a time from an orange cannon!

Shame the pilgrims have gone......... could have interesting to see the theories as to why God was throwing Boomerangs as gifts :thumbsup:

Re the weight, from memory it was minus 5% plus 47kg for cage, emergency stuff, but Stu was talking about aboloshing the plus 47 rule. No doubt he can shed some light. Geddit? Light. arrrrh, I crack meself up.

Yeah the +43kg rule for spares and tools will be flicked under the '09 rules.

For a GTR (or any other S1 and S2 classified car) its standard weight with no tolerance for further reduction. Ben gets to drop some weight (5%) with the GTSt in the interest of parity and cause he's put on plenty since last year!

Slightly off topic here but I was having a good look at Steve Jones R35 GTR which will be ready for Targa West in a few weeks (looks good too - he has some new Dunlop tyres that might be ok until the R comps are available to that should be good to see and the boy sure can steer).

But I was interested to hear from him that any apparent R35 V Spec will be banned from Targa for being too fast. Apparently there is a 0-100 in 3.5s rule which will unquestionably be broken since the current car is already 3.6s. So it doesn't look like we'll ever get to see a lighter R35 targa car. So I wonder if we'll consequently ever see one do that well given it's kgs.

G'day Snowy! I had a quick look at some results from the weekend.... rather strong competition was there by the look of it?

Will be interesting to hear Stu chime in here and give us some info on the M1 targa ruling, ie, is there a chance the 0-100 time might be altered to allow for the new breed of crazy-fast cars.

The DK 35 ran Dunlop SP Super Sport Race at Targa this year, the 20" size is an OEM fitment to the some of the bigger AMGs. They are best described as a semi R type tyre... I've done some laps in Targa Tasmania front runner Greg Garwood's GT3 with these fitted and they were pretty good. They look like a performance road tyre, but deal with the heat much better than a roadie and are awesome in the wet.

The sub-3.5sec issue is correct, under the CAMS M1 rules as they sit the R35 V-Spec will not be eligible. Targa Tasmania though chooses to see common sense and does not maintain that rule, accordingly the R35 V-Spec WILL be eligible and encouraged to compete in... The Worlds Largest Tarmac Rally!

    • @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.
