there was a guy running around with a road registered car painted up like this in SE QLD a couple of years ago claiming it was the Bathurst 12hr car. I never had a close look, but it seemd a bit ratty from a quick glance. Does he have the CAMS log book? without that there is no proof its the actual car. A weathered 1993 CAMS sticker and blanked off holes in the bootlid for a dry break system are all its got. If it was in the complete race trim, it might be worth that much to the right buyer, but it seems to be back in road trim apart from the paint and cage.

edit: and why would you send a production race engine back to Japan??? and wouldn't they have run the car in N1 spec? this has none of the N1 body pieces. I had a quick google but didn't turn up any pics/video from 93

Harry has sparked up my old man memory!

If it's correct it's not the actual race car but rather the promotional car. You know, the car that sits out the front of the retail shops in the sun to look cool.

I do remember as a young impressionable trainspotter seeing pictures of the race car in magazines and noting that this car (that was often parked right near my work) was slightly different in details.

Sorry for the hijack - just cross threading here :)

Want a Heli-coil? :)

i think sydneykid was talking about this car a while ago. as it was australian production, it wasn't allowed to run N1 spec. But if it dosn't have a log book it's nothing more than a painted up gtr, with a average cage.

It was advertised on here. Nice car, i woudl love it, but to me its not worth anything. Even if it was the Bathurst 12hr car...it got its ass handed to it, i recall it broke during the race...and the following year the Falken money went to Carlind who was running a Maserati Shamal. So nto to say its not an interesting car, or cool, but it doesnt seem to have history...so is just another ex race car which to means its worth less then a nice road going example that is actually quick.

But i sincerely wish the seller all the best selling it...but he may struggle asking that sort of money

Don't worry about that one. What about this?

http://ecurieinvestments.com.au/996-gt2r-slm-porsche

Would be interested to finding out who / where this was made, considering its not a genuine PSI GT2R. The interior pics look very familiar to my mates GT2R's that he has. Engine spec lists are also sounding a bit familiar will have to try and dig up some old emails.

Oh and good luck getting it homologated anywhere outside of a state series. And one with 600Hp will struggle getting in there too.

    • @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.
    • 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.
