Hi guys,

got the car wheel aligned today here in brisbane from bridgestone select, done an awsome job. We settled for Rear left +1.14degree Rear right +1.29 and both toeing in 2.7mm which under full squat the car will pull the rear wheels back to 0 degree and 0 toe, so should hook up good.

Front left -1.83degree and front right -1.46degree, front toeing in 0.8mm and got the caster sorted aswell, because the left front was hanging back the right front was pushed foward, so thats all good now too.

I am a little worried about the amount of toe on the rear as it does seem like alot.

After looking at that video, it doesn't look like your getting enough rear droop to zero out your ass end after the initial launch... Spring rates, compression and weight transfer looks pretty good though.

I'd hate to see the car start getting sketchy in the top end for the sake of marginally more traction (that you may not need).

Must be a blast to drive!

Justin.

The Japs were going faster in the late 90's with H-patterns?

They probably were...it's been a while :)

Definitely fastest/quickest H-pattern street GTR either way.

Looks like there is plenty left in, too.

Hi Guys, Just driving home back to Mackay, I will put the link on the 8.97sec pass up. Also Theo Willot Still holds the World record for fastest H pattern GTR I missed out by .02 of a second, and on Sunday I was gona to smash that time with an ET of 8.8. But third gear smashed into a million bits. I was 3MPH faster by half track than my 8.97 and thats also lifting of cause 3rd blew up. We are under the impression that the selector fork has bent therofore only half engaging 3rd and stripping the teeth off the cog.

Im laying down the challange that this car will run a Mid 8.5sec pass or lower with this H pattern box, as I am only running 150MPH to get 8.97secs and theo done 8.95 at 162MPH, I am only currently running 900-950HP with alot of go juice up my sleeve. Haha.

I will upload the other video my GF filmed later tonight when we get home,

cheers Matt

There is no evidence of a Japanese or American or euro or pommy GTR even running the 8s with a H pattern box, me and theo are the only ones to do it, Yes there are plenty of GTR in the 8s and 7s but they all run Sequential boxes or Airshifted liberties or Lenco gearboxes, which are an easy 0.3 of a sec quicker. Thats why Theos time is a World record that himself or me could ever find recorded.

Yes, how could I forget Theo's time....I don't think it was registered though :D

Either way, fantastic result and hope to see it get close to [RH9GTR]'s 8.47 auto time

btw, what does the car weigh in race trim?

Check out these videos... There are several running 8's with H-patterns

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
