So I've been really slack and not updated this for a very long time. So much has happened with this car over the last 6 months i really dont know where to start.

There has been a workshop change due to the setup not originally performing the way i wanted. Few new parts were added

Turbo change from MTA 80mm ti a PTE 6870 GEN II

New Trigger kit setup

matching 270 Tomei cams.

Overall the setup was much more suited and all components working well. Car went 672rwhp @ 31psi through the auto. 

 

Now for the photo dump, apologies I will try and keep these in order as much as i can,

Few snaps from my mate on the drive home from the workshop after the new tune. Safe to say it was an awesome feeling getting to drive it after such a long road

Next piece of the puzzle was getting my drag wheels to fit. I already had rust issues in the rear arches on this car so cutting them up didnt faze me too much. I bought some Carbon 400r style flares to go on once the guards were cut.

Finish product is here. I thouht a black CF flare would suit the setup but i actually dont like it. So in time i will get them paint matched white to the car.

I picked up some new street wheels this week. Panasports G7 C5C's in 17x10 +17 all round. Normally not something you can get away with on a GTST but with the GTR front end and the flared rear guards I thought they would be pretty bang on for fitment.

One thing I've forgotten was the digital dash. After selling off the Motec C127 before install to fund other mods, I still needed something to get reads on all the sensors ive had installed and I only had the limited stock cluster to go off. I dodnt want to spend 2k plus on getting a Motec or Racepak etc install so looking into cheaper options. Enter the Microtech LTC Dash, small 5 " LED touch screen dash for a fraction of the price. I paid $675 for the Dash plus the GPS & CAN Hub module. Microtech get their fair share os stick in some circles, however i can fault this dash for functionality and looks. Small enough to sit on the steering column & black blacking colour makes its easy to read at night and not blinding .

6 different display screens and warnings out the wahzoo. I find this is really good bang for buck

i was looking at those rims on gtr and gtr parts...... nice. how do they go with a 275 mt on them?

 

Im not using MT's on these. I use a daily 275/40 on them though which is find. Mint scrub on front at times

Yeah they are a nice looking rim

I've also been weighing up buying a trailer over the last few months as its starting to see a lot more events and trailering it there and back is becoming the easier option. After a bit of hunting we found a Tilta airbag trailer in Gladstone QLD for the right price. So off we went on a road trip from Brisbane and back in a day for it. Few pics from the drive up and of the trailer itself. Used a mates Falcon ute for the trip aswell

First real test for the car and the trailer was last Saturday night for Roll Racing Brisbane's first event of 2017. Put the big tyres on, loaded up the trailer and away we went. Here's a few pics from the event.

As 1320 were in Aus for Summernats. Kyle@1320video made his way up to brisbane and came out to Roll Racing to record some footage. 

 

Highlight of the night by far was getting a call out from Kyle @ 1320 and the Forza Horizon R32 GTR for a race. Forza car is a 2.8L stroker and was making a bit over 700awhp on the night. Here is a few videos of the run. One from pit wall and one in car.

Hit up another even on Sunday which was Cruise Fest at lakeside. Mainly cruise sessions with 1/8th mile drags in between. Was a mint day out, street car'd it there and back. Only casualty for the day was my 400r flares. both came off when then fouled on the big wheels round corners. Zero f**ks given. Still raced for the rest of the day without the arches

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
