Hey guys,

Just picked up the latest edition of tarmac magazine...

Its a good read but what interested me was the article in the back page.... check it out.

Its an interview with Jim Richards talking about the Bathurst race where the 32 GTR won but crashed on the last lap to bring on the famous "PACK OF ARSEHOLES" speech.

Just a heads up.... also WTF has happened to ignition DVD???

Yeah, where did Ignition DVD go! I thought it was just my nesagent not stocking enough car mags :ninja:

Even Zoo has been absent from the stands.

I've been looking more at the bike mags now ... and that not good for my car interests :laugh:

The Ignition DVD is being sold seperate now, due to the contract ending and the Magazine Company (which handles Hot4's, HPI, etc) didn't want to renew the contract.

You can find the DVD in Newsagents (if they stock them) or find them at Autobahn for around $15.

This is why HPI and Hot4's now have 2 extra issues with their current issue, to fill the gap that the DVD has left!

It's a shame, but the Magazine Company simply didn't want to renew the contract!!

No idea? I know after the contact ended, HPI must have felt bad, because the next issue they had a article near the front of the mag saying how awesome the Ignition DVD is.

Apparently a 'GTR Special' Ignition DVD was released recently? But I can't find it!

I read alot of the British bike mags now. Their antics are hilarious sometimes, and articles are always interesting. Aussie mags are just lame and all recycle the same story, like each has the same editor and journos. Same reports on the same jap bikes. And their opinions on diff bikes get in the way of a real verdict of the bikes. Boring. Wouldn't touch Two Wheels if my life depended on it either. :P Plus the British mags report a little more on the BSB and other euro bike races, as well as real road tests on real affordable gear.

My brother gets the Heavy Duty and Lowrider mags ... so I read them when I use his loo :P

    • @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.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • 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.
