Thanks, Snowman after I just spent time to do this one... ;)

My new wallpaper.. if the grey background pic is crap,

The transparent one should look like this, only full screen for 1024...

Haha - less than 2 weeks. My 1st rally is on Jan 31st in Tassie. The car is being entered as a 2005 Nismo GT-R Z Tune (hence why I've done the kit).

Might be a stupid question, but can I ask why?

Good luck this weekend also.

Well actually the main reason was costs.

Under Tarmac Rally regs the cars have to run to factory specs with minimal modifications allowed under strict guidelines. And given my car has been a modified club track car for the last few years it was no longer anywhere near standard R34 GTR V Spec N1 regs and to bring the car back to those specs was going to cost a mint.

However the car was already very close to the Z Tune specs. So the $$$ outlay for me to enter the car as a Z Tune was much lower and meant I could actually afford to do it. The thing is until 2009 the Z Tune had been banned from being an eligable car for Tarmac Rallies (along with a bunch of other cars including the 400R for example - and still is banned for CAMS based rallies) so it has only become an option for me now.

Plus - it looks so cool! :(

Why is that? Unfair advantage?

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
