got the car back today.

first, Its much much louder than stock.

2nd. I ran vdc in R mode and I couldnt apply much more than 50% throttle in 1st gear and 80% throttle in 2nd gear. VDC kicks in.

then with vdc off its pretty much the same deal.

I cannot get more than about .8 Gs in first gear.. 2nd gear i managed to get .9 before vdc.

3rd. I get a warning light on the dash after about 20 mins of driving... reset ecu... warning light again in 20 mins.

thoughts? ideas?

to taclke the vdc issue im thinking of getting wider/softer tyres. Im a little annoyed I cant even get the standard 1g in first gear like a stock gtr..

guys, any particular things to keep in mind when trying to run with VDC off. sounds like there is more to it than switching it off at the panel from the above post?

I will be running the latest COBB stage 2 tune at the track with 20 inch toyos tomorrow (which are on their last legs I reckon) and was going to run VDC off as I think it is occasionally cutting in more frequently than previous when giving it a bootful on the street

Did you sort out this VDC issue (traction control with VDC off) because if yuo are saying you have issues with VDC off and 50% throttle, something is very wrong, i have never heard of this before. Would like to know the cause/outcome. Almost sounds like mismatched tyre diameter.

edit: this didnt arise on the dyno?

hey,

No.. there were no problems on the dyno what so ever.

The guys called martin (willall) and we did a sequence of turn car on, vdc off, car off. bla bla.. cant remember.. I dont know if its a coincedience but it seems i can go full throttle now with no issues with vdc off... it still kicks in when its on and sometimes it will kick in when in R mode. also tested in wet and the wheels spun without traction nicely.

other issue is o2 sensors are gettign too hot, causing error on dash.. HKS have heard of this issue a few times and have made a fix.. getting this sorted this week.

car is completely stock apart from gt600 kit, bigger fmic and trans cooler (stock rims etc)

<br />A modders heaven - HKS parts neatly stacked on display atop its carton box.  Looking foward to this one!<br />

+ 1 :D I love when people get all the parts at once and do a build rather than gradual progression.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
