hey, just a heads up u can buy the 7.1L Monaro,

but it isn't called a monaro it is somesort of HSV with 427 in it, similar to the monaro use in the race

Your a knob! Holden will never build a 7L monaro EVER!

Nissan need to bring a GT500 GTR over to race, then it will be able to compete fairly with the 427 HRT or this year i mean CV8 monaro

Holden were going to sell the HRT 427 but it became too expensive and they called it off. It was going to have a production run of 100 cars or something. I read this in the drive section of the paper about a year ago, so it must be true. :rolleyes:

I understood that Falken GTR rolled at the nismo festival the other week, it'll need some straightening before they can run that one :rolleyes:

A GTR ran in nation's cup in 2002, not surprisingly it wasn't competitive. The N-GT class cars are highly modified from their base cars, and in a global sense the monaros aren't actually far ahead (if at all), they are just very well suited to bathurst 24hrs - in fact they were not particularly competitive in Nations cup this year.

And the Nations cup cars certainly do not run stock boost, heads, cams etc etc, they are fairly open and would be pulled back into line only if they faster than the competition.

Finally, the reason the GTRs aren't competitive is 2 fold - too heavy, and the base engine is too small...

They were gonna sell em but not to the same spec as the bathurst!

I think it was all a publicity stunt and they were infact never going to produce 1 for the public.

i was under the impression that the nations cup was a power to weight deal fixed to different configerations, lets say rear engined sports car above $90,000, along those lines??

P.S. what engine base is the 300kw gts monaro?

The stripped down version of the Mongrel is 1600kg from memory

R34 GTR is 1550kg or there abouts stock, stripped down plus full race gear, i reckon would be the same if not lighter. I think a properly and professionally backed R34 GTR, with a good driver would be very competitive.

EDIT: Monaro CV8 Kerb weight: 1640kg (530i 4 door is lighter!, packed with TV's, Sat Nav, full leather, full 17inch spare wheel, 8 airbags, etc...)

R34 GTR kerb weight: 1540kg (wasn't far off :P)

So yeah, i reckon in full race trim, the GTR would be lighter than the Mongrel. Just make sure the 600 horsies are ready to play, and i reckon u'd do ok.

that's my tree fitty

cheers.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
