I'm buying some parts from Ed, but most of my parts are through Trojan who today gave me a quote which was much the same as Slide (and they knew nothing of what Slide quoted) - I'm glad I'm able to do something through them because they have always been helpful to me.

I'm going through Ed for the install because 1) Mark jacked up on me and doesn't want to do it and 2) Erol (my mentor/professor/idol) knows Ed and he will let Erol work with him on the tune. I don't believe Ed has setup/tuned a Vi-PEC before, and although he seemed hesitant, he was still happy to work with us on it. Eds been lovely to deal with as well.

We're going to dyno before and after. She's booked in for the 23rd and she races at Mt Panorama on 7th & 8th March for round 2 & 3 of the NSW Championship. Everybody LOVES Bathurst, so I expect there will be a huge turnout.

I know the GT-SS is approx $1500 more than the -7, but all reports seem to point to the fact that they are more responsive... besides, she deserves it LOL

I haven't decided on the injectors yet... I'll probably go with what Ed recommends.

I don't mind the feedback and these guys know me well enough that they can throw some opinions my way, besides, it makes me think outside the box. Someone who is partial to frangipanis on his car will probably be the next one to give me some cheek :wave:

Nice results at the hillclimb btw.

You buying the v44 or v88? I did ask Ed a while ago if would tune VI-PEC ecu's but he was more non committal then.

Neither - I'm going the plugin ecu http://www.vi-pec.com/page_files/pluginecu.htm for $1765 but it is based on the v44 model

meh still used to calling the plugin the v44. Thats all lol

I'd better clarify, its not the upgrade he's objectional to... its the part where he has to do the work. He hasn't stopped and needs a break.

That was what I was referring to :wave:

Anf the GT-SS are so much better then the -5's for hill climb work. Still we can compare when I finally get my injectors etc.

ooh shiny bits! :)

ps. I remember that pool table. when are we gonna have another piss up/car video night at your house?? :D

We should do it again soon... we were going to have a Grand Turismo night - even tho I suck at video games it was fun watching the others fight it out. We'll put Reece in a Starlet and make him race against the GTRs again :D

VERY nice Michele... I knew you couldnt keep it stock for long :/

Maybe now you might be able to keep up with mine when its back on the road :P

Well that's if yours ever makes it on the road again!

We're all still eagerly anticipating it's return!!

hmm I don't think it was the cars fault, cos you didn't catch Mark. So I must have been soft that day :/

Can't wait to see you get out to the hillclimb.... you really don't know what you're missing (John/Cejay - Tell HIM!!)

Yep hillclimb is fun and far less damaging to the cars then a full race day. Be there.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
