Omg can't believe no one has bought it yet, one of the best looking GTT in this country, Dammmnit i miss my car :D GL with the sale dude ;) ps kronz It aint 4wd but anyway

i believe powerplay imports is the oz distributor for EB

i'm barely even driving this car anymore, maybe 1 or 2 trips in the last month. Other than that it's just tucked up in the garage :)

Sheng, even though i haven't sold it, i can get a sense of what it's going to be like ;)

It was practically sold a few months ago, price agreed etc, then plugged pulled last minute, he's still hanging around though. Other people said straight out they'd buy it, but financial circumstances change and out they went too. Got someone looking at this this tuesday - most enquiries have been interstate, which obviously makes it hard for viewing. But until people see this car in the flesh, i don't think they realise exactly what the car is about :P

The cool thing is i get the same feedback no-matter which workshop i go to, like Chasers the other day for the compression test saying it's pretty much the nicest GT-T they've see. When you go to places like Chasers and Status, and they say it's one of the best, yu know it's a good benchmark because they would heaps of 34's a year, and more over their life time.

kronz, thanks mate :) even though it's RWD, it certainly doesn't have traction issues like a similar powered commondoor would, that's for sure! :)

Lol, i been throffing over this 34gtt.. i cant believe it hasnt sold... for 30k... especialyl with all the mods its got... and the condition its in.. dw.. you'll get a picky owner that will eventually want to pay the right price for the perfect car. patience is all. i say don't drop the price anymore.. this thing is immaculate.

Few months ago I was driving next to you, my jaw literally dropped at how nice this car was.

I'm amazed this hasn't sold, whoever buys it at 30k is getting a ripper deal.

Good luck with the sale!

i won't lie, it's nice to still have the car around... i will miss it terribly :(

dropping it under $30K definitely has generated a lot more interest though, a couple more people have seen it - and it's the same response once people see it in the flesh... they can fully appreciate the level of car they're looking at, as opposed to all the other car ads saying 'immaculate'.

where bouts were we mate? there was a TV2 GT-T i use to see parked up at L'Oreal office at Sandy, but i don't think L'Oreal is there anymore...

$28,700

Caltex has officially started pumping E85 so even if you're interstate, you're now going to have E85 options :blink:

e 85 is what jesus would use :P its a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% petrol has alot of power benifits and means you can make more power alot safer

cheers thanks

hahaha, Jeebus would use E85, no, no... Jeebus would turn water into E85. Yep, that's about right ;)

Raigeki, E85 is around 105 Octane, hence it's ability to run more advanced timing. I gained around 30-35rwkw between 98 and E85. Compressions test before and after (about 18months in between) have been near enough to perfect. It is a fantastic fuel which practically eliminates the chance of detonation. When tuning with E85 the actual 'sweet spot' or the point that makes the most power is actually a long way from the point of detonation. A very safe fuel and does a fantastic job of essentially cleaning the car at the same time. For those that have done tear-downs after running E85 report very clean internals (E85 clears out all the carbon build-up afaik)

i'll put the dyno sheets up, i think i have them on file somewhere.

RWC can be arranged :blink:

here's the 98 tune - you can see how much fatter the power is after the turbo upgrade - and this only the 98 tune, still gotta find the E85 one ;)

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
