thats an origin wing? My mates drift car has one the same. we put it on a circuit car on the weekend and it made a huge difference. we data loged the canges and he was able to accelerate much faster out of corners.

yep origin GT carbon. works very well. when i did the time attack day at mallala i was able to push hard on the fastest corner on the track.. a right hander at around 180 kph... normally you'd use partial throttle and the rear would feel light.. with the wing on i can keep it pinned and the rear of the car stays planted. downside is the boot is very warped lol

Just read through the whole build great work done on it and awesome drifting.

Just got a question with your surge tank do you have an enclosure for it to pass scruteneering or dont you need one? I just put mine in so trying find out if i need one or not.

When do they consider it sealed for exp. With your s14 is it considered sealed off in standard form or do you have to physically go and seal up every gap in the boot?

Also with your nismo diff install was it pretty much just put the centre in using the shims you had or did you have to muck around with it?

    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
