Droooool!!!

I don't know where he's kept his sheet.

He was playing around with the e-manage yesterday and was telling meabout this feature called RPM offset. You can apparently adjust the boost rate throughout the rpm range (8 rpm points, as in between 0 to 9900rpm) so you could achieve consistent pressure throughout the curve.

I'm so jealous.

:P:)

Yes there is always three sides to any story and won't be first or last. The truth or whole story is Emanual bought this computer from Advan and wanted us to fit it as we have done all the work on his car. Yes my techs are capable and my guys have worked out many complex computers and Japanese wiring diagrams and sorted in past etc. The situation with this one turned out to be the wrong unit. It was supposed to be a full kit to suit R34 GT-T yet was after spending lots fo time on it we found he was supplied the wrong computer and plug for an auto GT-T. Yes we are not experts on E manange and not our recommendation as it is a fairly basic system, the main reason for buying it was it was suitable for Tipronic. Yes we called Peter at Advan where he bought it from, we did not supply and he suggested we get it interpreted by Harry at Hi Octane racing which we tried to do but he was not contactable so we got hold of a interpreter through the phone book which Emanual helped us locate and agreed to pay the $50 it cost us to have the manual tanslated as this was not in the kit as all Japanese. Also not mentioned was the price included fitting of the latest Profec E.

Peter at Advan does not tune them but rather Dave at SAS around the corner who would have had same probs as us. It was brought here to fit and tune and fit boost controller, which plumbing through fire wall and joining solenoid and condfiguring to match up with E Manage and mount screen etc is not five minutes.

Bottom line is Emanual was fine when he paid for our work and picked up the car and no mention of any concerns. He was here most of the day and knew we did our best and spent collectively with three of my staf quite a lot of time. If we supplied then no we could not charge and no we did not charge the hours actually spent as it was much more, and as mentioned we did fit boost controller and pay for translation.

This is not even your car so why? Tell the whole story next time or at least get the facts.

Freedom of speech is good but twisting the facts or not telling the whole story looks bad and I don't blame others for getting angry without knowing the whole situation. Shame one doesn't have to be connected to a bull shyt detector to post on forums.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
