Having the padles move with the wheel are a must. glad my car came with them like that.

Although in tight corners when you would turn the wheel more than you can twist without releasing your hand and re-grabing them makes it hard.

This wouldn't be so much of a concern on a track or rally. moreso for tight street stuff.

dunc , nope i have no rally experience so big learning curve, ben will have to keep me in check

i have done about 15 years as a mechanic for an ARC team but not as driver.

no we dont have tyres sorted, we will be running on the tyres i used at superlap! :laugh: they are half f#@ked! i also have a spare set of the bridgestones runflats if needed.

we will definately struggle for tyres but will still be a good learning curve and shake down for next year.

If you don't mind me saying that is a funny attitude, for what is involved, tyres are #1 as if you need me to tell you that.

I have to say since semi's aren't readily available in 20's I'm suprised people haven't given the Pirelli P Zero's a shot on the GT-R's. I was super impressed with them on the R8's we ran at Phillip Island and the lap times we were doing showed they were performing pretty sweetly too. They did have a drop off in perfmormance once they got really hot but it wasn't too bad.

But I don't know how they compare to the dunlops as I haven't had the chance to have a play on them. But the Pirellis may be worth a look at if you are looking for rubber.

hi guys

well the car is getting closer to ready for rally tas in two weeks!

Ben and i had a quick run in it Friday and all is good, new paddle shifters that turn with the wheel work well!

seat needs moving , still needs door trims and a few other things but 90 percent done! phew !

graphics go on the car tuesday, looks a bit like the bat mobile at the moment

still got the rear centre speakers in too!

car has to remain original weight for the rallies we are doing, mind you the cupholder weighs about 500 grams but covers the the sensors and protects them

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
