They make them now... At least in prototype form.

The GT-R is still battling away. Been a few more problems. Drive shafts had to be replaced. Then all the hub bolts broke on a rear wheel but they made it back into the pits some how. Both were fairly long pit stops though.

Still out there now clawing its way back up. In 21st place now.

Update anyone?

As Giant says, hub issues likely a human failure. Unlikely that faults like that get through to production.

....... although, now I think about it, bug-eye STi with failing front hub bearings after about 6 hrs racing anyone?

I was at the race for the weekend, just got back. Got to say the GTR was pretty dissappointing. It belted off the line from the rolling start, held 2nd for a lap and then it was all down hill from there, lapping at least 7 seconds a lap slower than the front runners.

It looked great but honestly it sounded like a semi stock exhaust compared to everyone else, overall it was good to see it out there belting around. Thats the 2nd one on that track since late june, one of the HKS customers had theirs out for a track meet a few weeks ago.

I got a few pics and bit of vid that I`ll post up tomorrow as I`m rooted, couple hrs sleep and 5 hr drive home. Pics are nothing flash but got some good carpak action which I`ll post up in the japan page tomorrow as well.

Awesome that you were there. I personally wish I had made it out but travelling just for this race is an expensive luxury I couldn't justify :D

Anyways It's a production car in a Super Taikyu race. Not to mention the tires handicap. 7 seconds isn't so bad. Lot's of dramas and unknowns going into the race. Next time they'll know a lot more in terms of what to expect and what to keep an eye on.

The exhaust was basically stock except for cat removal and tips welded on.

I'm surprised the brakes looked so good after they pulled them off the car.

I will explain it all in a sec in detail, gotta run to the shops but in a nutshell the number after the letters denotes the engine capacity. The letters denote the class.

ST = Super Taikyu

EC = Eco Class

IP = International production

4 = 3000cc and over.

Pics not too crash hot, only had my misso`s camera but something anyway...the grey/black GTR was from about 3 weeks at a clubman event we had Tokachi Speedway.

Theres more pics in japan section but of show & shine

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
