Today we will be datalogging and publicly reporting on the new Cobb Tuning upgrades to the GTR which we have been providing input for over the past month. The brainchild of John in the UK and Joe from Cobb, the new mapping system does away with Air Flow Load inferred Wastegate Duty Cycle, and converts the R35 Boost Control system over to an RPM vs Duty Cycle output curve. What this means -

Stable boost control without the big boost spikes on 'flat foot' gearshifts that haunt most GTR tunes (no good for engine or transmission)

The ability to hold more consistent and greater boost pressure in the top end of the rev range.

No need to change over wastegate actuators on the GTR to higher rated versions

No need to add aftermarket boost controllers etc.

An exhaust equipped GTR using this mapping with stock actuators and boost control hardware just went 10.8 at Santa Pod a few hours back :P

We will be performing some mapping and datalogging using our new Mainline AWD dyno to provide the most consistent and repeatable data that we can give back to both Cobb and present to the public before the software is released. Exciting times ahead for GTR owners, and obviously we are happy to be part of the professional testing and development team for Cobb ;)

This is interesting.

At a recent practice day (Oran Park) running an AP tune, i found my lap times actually went slightly backwards. Personally, i think it was due to the power coming on too strong, too quickly, turning the tyres and invoking power sapping traction control. I guess the solution is to drive with TC off, and anticipate wheelspin more delicately, however something that guarantees a better/smoother and more progressive application of power may just turn that situation around for me.

Linear power that doesnt upset the balance of the chassis has always been the key.

I have never been one much for a big midrange rush than a curve that falls flat on its face. Great for the odd squirt between the lights (if anyone actually does that kind of thing anymore) but no good for a genuine motorsport application :O

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
