@Colin: I may be able to drive the GT-R to willowbank for the drags for ya :D

I also mang it up in the office.

A mang is... well webster's dictionary defines it as...

umm...

It's a cool word though mang

Gramlight 57d got those fluoro colours and they're pretty affordable.

gramlights affordable? ;)

With the R33 I'd be going for a 5 or 6 spoke rim. LMGT4, TE37, GTCs or go for mesh rims like BBS LMs or Work VS-XX

In other news the unit now has power :) Only phone n internets to sort out now. Win.

Yes. Not all Gramlight but the specific design I'm suggesting. The 57d were quoted by Streeter

Gram Light 57D 18" x 9.5J +12 22,910yen eachRough costs on that would be something like this...

Cost of item ¥91,640

Ship item to me ¥0

Bank fee to pay seller ¥630

My commission ¥7,000

Removing 4 tyres ¥0

Shipping to Aus via Sea assuming 13 kg ¥31,200

* (I could be off with the weight but what ever it costs to send Ill

pass on to you)

ROUGH TOTAL in Yen: ¥130,470

ROUGH TOTAL: $1,875

Comparing to

TE37 in 18" x 10.5J +22 52390yen each

*this quote is based on sea post, they are over max size so there is

a change they might have to be sent by EMS.

Rough costs on that would be something like this...

Cost of item ¥209,560

Ship item to me ¥0

Bank fee to pay seller ¥630

My commission ¥14,000

Removing 4 tyres ¥0

Shipping to Aus via Sea assuming 12 kg x4 ¥29,800

* (I could be off with the weight but what ever it costs to send Ill

pass on to you)

ROUGH TOTAL in Yen: ¥253,990

ROUGH TOTAL: $3,649

*depending on exchange rate. current rate is 72.9

These would be a lot cheaper with the current exchange rate sitting around 85?

I got told today theres a high chance of me heading up to site either in Jan or Feb.... WOOOOOooooo COILOVER HERE I COME!

Dudeman why dont u just get a job on a mine site and then you can earn sweet moneys ?

Nah dw Martin I think it's probably better my car doesn't go the drags. The noises the gearbox is making atm are pretty disgusting. Another thing on the list for while its off the road.

Yeah but those gramlights are pretty gay. If you're going to have them you have to have the 57 Pros.

What site?

All the arse rape puts me off working in the mines.

I wanna know the design part of things rather than operational for starters. And I'll need the commission experience if I wanna go down the path I'm planning.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
