Damo's R32 Gts-r, On Going Project Fun Car. History And Use Full Info


Recommended Posts

good stuff damo... niggling problems are the worst... you'll get there...

thanks mate yea i hate the niggling problems. i get paid to work on niggling shitty problems so the less with my own car the better.

well a bit of progress has been made in finding the actual problem with the engine.

this is mainly theoretical at this point and ill post up the problem-cause-solution once we get it sorted to help guide people in the right direction.

on thing i can tell you is this engine should be seeing a new turbo sooner than first thought.

what did you make to allow the use of the whiteline spherical linkages on the rear swaybar/arms?

i havent made them work yet. but the idea was to cut and shut the stock rear LCA and basically just use 2 bits or RHS welded to the LCA with adjustable holes to suit the adjustable sway bars.

no simple answer realy

ahh don't worry about the first day blues....it almost always takes somewhere between "a couple" and "a few" days to get things running properly.

Mine has been 5 years and counting....damn close to perfect now though :)

got a bit of an update to come but for now heres a few Youtube links untill i learn to embed them.

Finished in second Place. Beaten by an escort :D and Ben who was also driving finished in 5th or 6th?

Fav run

Ok.

got some pics from the past few weeks.

first i made the new dash cluster above.

then i made a new gauge holder to go where the centre vents go to hold the Apexi RSM for my speed read outs and a HKS exhaust temp gauge that didnt quite fit in with all the other gauges.

and just before anyone asks i like having a miss match of gauges. its a bit like my rim choice. anybody can buy a set of somthing but it takes time to acquire individual items to make a set.

DSC03104.jpg

i used my old aluminum cluster as a skeleton for the new carbon one then i layed the carbon over the frame and worked out where i wanted everything. once again the carbons on an angle as i dont like things to be to normal.

DSC03024.jpg

In the weeks leading up to the motorkhana i had some thinking time so i pulled out all my bars

DSC03005.jpg

i had decided to turn the type M bar into my custom TA bar as it has far bigger side openings than the GTR bar. the idea was to make a lower lip and attach it all to a splitter/ under tray. but before work could begin on the type M bar i brought this.

DSC03102.jpg

my New daily. pretty stock and in average nick inside and out just what i was after.

DSC03099.jpg

Ben inspecting the power house. he loves 20s. if you look you can see the list that i started for what needed to be achieved over the queens birthday long weekend

DSC03032.jpg

we gutted the inside and fitted a ton of new trims. all gathered up out of our supplies between 4 friends.

DSC03041.jpg

to top it off it got GTR front and read seats. brand new gear and hand brake boots. original gear knob. near new centre trim. new cluster. new cluster surround. new LH vent. new glove box. new centre console lid (thanks race car) a new door trim and one new complete door. some speaker covers and a greddy a pillar gauge holder with HKS boost gauge. the type M bar and a spare de-spoilered boot lid are off getting ready for paint. some 4 door pods are also due to arrive soon.

DSC03110.jpg

there is a few small plans in store for this car but it will all come in time. we had some spare time tonight so ben and i fitted one of his spare exhausts up as the one on the car was cheap rubbish and droned like an excel.

DSC03111.jpg

while the exhaust was off i found that the cat had been gutted and a straight pipe welded in so we will be changing that back to a stock item soon.

A few snap shots from the motorkhana.

Ready to be abused. Note: part of the front lip missing due to Ben

me pondering what strip club to visit tonight

Me explaining how to use the "E" brake to one of the renta-drive drivers. haha

The car is looking good, now hurry up and get a proper turbo on it already!

lol

+1 for that.

hang on were talking about me.

na im to soft now. no turbo yet. playing with the new car to much.

Those CST's look awesome on your car you definitely need some more for the front.

On another topic, you look way more gay in photo's than in real life which is strange because it's often the opposite.

hah ha isnt it always the way... something shinier to play with for a while

+1 for looking great with the rims, and lol... that is all

keep up the good work mate, 20 year old cars get ya down sometimes but theyre worth it (Y)

I love stirring Damo up but you've got to hand it to the guy he has some very impressive skills in the diy stakes and comes up with original ideas for his car. That dash really is porn and I bet a lot of others will start mounting their power fc controllers like that. Keep up the good work Damo.

your name is Richard. you cant get much more gay than that...... ive tried...... and you just cant.

p.s. that vid of you, your favourite, that was sick! car sounds great

thanks mate. i love where the car is heading and i usually live under that rule that its better off to be going and competing in events than sitting in the shed waiting to be finished, so its a never ending project.

thanks for the Props Homo. i have had people complement the car saying its uniquely styled in the past. its not exactly what i envisioned sometimes either but its what i can make myself in my shed so thats all that counts.

And unfortunately the CST's have to go to make way for other things.

And to actually update this thread i have a new date to fix everything up ready for another crack at drifting. September 11th. apparently there is a major one off drift event being held with extra stuff on the side so ill be aiming for it.

    • 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
