first rule of racing....there will always be someone who will spend more than you :)

I reckon you'll still have a ball. Can't beleive a relitively standard GTR has been running against these things and doing so well.

go tacker! how can you loose, you've got the aussie spirit mate. and hopefully a put crew that knows good sabotage techniques. oh, did I say that out loud? try not to get arrested.... lol. :thumbsup:

good luck mate, and definitely give the GTR a few good runs. forget this viper nonsense. deep down you know it's a car built for some bald american wanker with a big gut, a mid-life crisis and a mildly successful job who thinks he's awesome, so he can cruise around in it near the beach, chucking the odd lame skid and hoping to one day get laid....

the GTR is the same, but for japanese middle age guys....of the 90s...

go the GTR!!!

hell yeah. I remember a few years back when you were just starting to get serious with the GTR. adding ducting etc. the first serious GTR is always like that. it's an evolution from street car, to mild track car, to all out track car and lots of compromises get made along the way. the REAL GTR track car comes with version 2. then you can start with a clean slate and a picture of where you want it to end up and correct any compromises or mistakes that were made in version 1. look at mark and russ. their 32 was like that, got added to and changed as things got more and more serious and as their aims for the car changed. it got there in the end but I reckon if you asked them now they could build one in half the time, for 2/3s the money and have it going quicker. look at their R34 for example... it's everything they learnt from the 32 and then some!

so the moral is, do another GTR. start from scratch and keep the old girl around for me to drive should I be over your way. (hopefully will be soon).

did you ever end up running those tein RAs? my memory sucks, I seem to remember you went even more serious shock wise?

BB i did run the RA's and they were mighty fine too.

i guess in a way i will always have a soft spot for the old girl so we are fixing her up to run again this year a few mates of mine will give her a good seeing too though out the year.

But clearly once you see the viper ( i know no pics yet ) you can see just why these things are so fast, and bolting in a stock 505 hp and 600 odd ft/pd of torque in a car that is 1100kgs with fluids makes sense to me. Mind you this car is a good foot wider than the old skyline and engine sits barely 125mm off the ground. It will be truely a weapon in the right hands, and with the quality of the other cars arriving it will need to be!

yeah, can't argue with that logic. it has it over the skyline in so many ways. :D poor skyline, they really are much faster than they have any right to be. such a compromised car but still great fun and fast. :)

there was some talk a few months back that 1 of the mosler GT3's was heading over there.

It has a new owner in Aust but the team selling them in Australasia has got a 3rd on the way, no news to who will be taking delivery of the 3rd one

all in all i like the idea of these high spec cars coming to race here can only be a good thing for the local motor sport scene.

When you consider that only 2 seasons ago me and my trusty R32 GTR rolled out for the first ever local saloon car race in the UAE, yep me and five others to what we have showing up 2 years later. It appears we fit in very nicely between the off season in europe and the TV coverage last year on skysports has help no end.

mosler is not a bad piece of gear that's for sure. sadly I saw one get nicely smashed about 2 weeks ago in sydney.... d'oh!

The mosler is a great piece of equipment, been involved with the GT3 mosler from it inspection and the manufacturer for quite a while now (going on 4 years) so i was glad when they finally made it down here again. Spent a fair bit of time with the cars down here at the clipsal race, certainly able to pull a crowd

John has had a few issues going from a tame 430 challenge to the full race spec mosler. They have spent too much time in the walls her e in Aust for my and the teams liking.

Tacker been watching the series grow over the years, (was planning on moving over for a while but it all fell through :thumbsup: )

All the best with the Viper, Got any pics?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      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.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
