are u really goin to drag race it ?? its way too nice man. maybe just throw the motor in a shitter or get whole new car ??

cars are meant to be built and raced, no matter how good they look :)

car looks very very nice white is definitely the best colour for a 32 esp with all the carbon parts in contrast!!

love it! and i dont usually love other 32s other than mine lol

wow, from start to finish what a great read, i believe somewhere it said you were trying to promote your business, i believe by this post it proves that you have definately got the attention.. i live in nsw but after reading this i feel like shipping my car up and emptying the bank account lol

great job, kudos to your dad and brother as well. i wish my dad knew how to build cars, best he has ever attempted is repainting the roof on the sigma ahahaha

Well done man on a well planned out project. Car has come out unreal, even though it's a 'backyarder job' as you call it. To me it's probably better then most professional jobs done. Can't wait til jambo and check this out.

That things tough as, fuel setup is no word of a lie AMAZING, i wish i had enough room at my place to have a triple garage and a spray booth :( instead ive got a single garage / spray booth.

Anyway good stuff mate.

Thanks for all the comments and support guys thumbsup.gif. Yes this car is going to raced we have spent way to much money and have put a solid 2 and a half years of blood,sweat and beers into making this car, now its time to enjoy it. Don't know how good the fuel economy will be in this thing but I'm guessing its gonna be pretty shit house. As long as it can make it the drag strip on a tank of fuel, then i'll be happy. Probably a fair chance that we will only get a couple of runs at the strip in street trim before the boys at Palmyra tell us to piss of and put a parachute on. down.gif There will be video's for sure of when this thing hits the strip for the first time. We have all our race clothing on order, pretty much ordered the whole RPM catalog identical to what the V8 Supercar Boys wear, so hopefully will be hear shorty.

As for promoting the business, I'm sure this car will gives us lots of attention and when the other two project cars are done we will have a good portfolio of cars under our wing. The 33 GTR will hopefully be done in the next month or two and then the Supra Project will start which i am looking forward to, as it will be a change from working on GTR's all the time can which get a bit boring at times. I am keen to do a Z project car as well, i have a few ideas i wanna do to a 350Z with a massive Stillen Supercharger strapped to it. Ummm time will tell hahaha!!!!!!!

I will keep you's updated as much as possible in the next few weeks when the car makes it debut at the strip so be sure to stayed tuned. The excitement is building fast.

Cheers

Benny

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
