I thought I'd post this video up of an MNR Vortx Clubman car with an R1 Engine sitting behind a white R32 with about 640Hp.

The driver of the Vortx is Anthony Preston, he can catch the R through the turns but watch the R Disappear on the straights! Awesome Vid!!!! I think the R was making up about 3 seconds on the vortx down the straight!

This was at Eastern Creek last weekend 22-11-08

Keep in mind young Mr Preston weighs about 50 kilos wringing wet and he has tons of FF and gokart experience. I like his lines,,,very nice.

The gent in that beautiful GTR had never driven there before to my knowledge.

Sam Markov's car is an absolute weapon. Best R32 in the country but a country mile.

Sorry Andrew,,,yes it is one of the best,,,but the Gibson car is streets ahead. Oh and watch out,,,the calsonic car may well be living in OZ soon. Just a rumour at the moment,,,

Didn't think of the Gibson car as it doesn't hit the track too often, understandably. Be a good side by side on slicks - I don't think there would be much difference.

He's done a couple of track days at the 'creek before in an M3, running around in 39's. Still it is good to see the GTR out and about again after all this time.............now wait for new suspension to be fitted and hopefully knock a fair bit off those times. :O

Well considering the track was damp, they only get 4 hot laps per session and he had a busted fr cv I think his 1'38's were quite respectable.

CV was intact, clamp/boot let go and covered brakes/supension/tyre with grease on that side.

I'll see if there's any extra footage from the day. I should be able to dig some up.

Yes I neglected mention that Presto in the Vortx has a bit more experience around the creek than the average driver. I'm falling in love with those little clubmans. If I end up winning lotto I think I know where I'd have to waste... sorry, invest, a good portion of it :wub:

I'll try to put up some more laps early next week :O

39's in an M3,,,,that must be one kick-arse car. I want a natsoft link for proof. Here's E/C's records.

    • @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.
