update, dunno why, not really much of a build thread person, but getting comments on it gives some motorvation.

Also got "too many projects syndrome"

Thanks to buying a dirtbike, a dr30 and a chev nova on this years california trip.

plus genral living, enjoying life and trying to save to build some units all adds up to doing sweet f**k all on the ceff :)

Still sorting out shit, indicators work now, fixed a wiring issue that was causing a flat battery, radiator finally died (it was the same one as it had when it intially got imported)

modified and fixed the drivers seat rail, new catchcan mounting.

heaps of small things.

Larger mods included.

intank pump (VL commodore, BRO) with a modded cradle

surge tank running two 044's.

Sounds like a have a super charger in the boot haha.

Z32 rear brakes:

Good to go except for needing longer brake lines,

will get some braided ones made up tomorrow.

Decided to sell the CST's off it, as they were abit to mexican on the front with S14 Lca's.

Brought some of these.

enkei_rpf1_silver.jpg

17x9 +22 front

17x10 +18 rear

Got em for a steal while in the usa last month, and got good coin for the cst's.

Also nice and light :)

Going to club circuit/hill climb it, not enough drift in vic, unless toff wants to organise a ceff skid meeting in Tas :P

Suspension re-vamp:

Changing back to my usual setup after driving it a few times, was running 10/8 combo with no swaybars.

Back to 8/6kg with large swaybars and decent coilovers, initially was thinking bilstein or ohlins, but the BC 'ER' series looking great for the price, when the inserts die, its a easy change to a better one.

r33 gtr wheels with 235 or 245 tyre R tyre should be enough.

Also looking at some sort of spoiler for the back for a bit of downforce.

some pics up soon.

wheels have 3mm more 'poke' than the previous CST's,

with the wider width, the 235's should stretch abit more giving less rolling diameter, thus a tiny bit more clearance.

I had another go at bashing the inner wheel wells out on the rear, f**king hard yakka.

Might grab the grinder and start chopping :whistling:

Braided brake lines made today, fancy as hell.

Also chris, specs of those G7's at your work today?

I came past, you were on a delivery.

Updates?

I lost the key for it haha.

Got tuned, 395rwkw, 20psi, on pump 98. makes 20 pounds at 4k rpm.

Limiter is only at 7200,

A twin/tripple plate, e85, 3.5 /4 inch exh and 10 more psi it should go close to 500rwkw, way way WAY beyond my driving abilities :)

Was going to run it down the strip this weekend at calder, but poo weather.

Leaving the coilovers in, but full slick and front runner combo.

Will most likely run a high 11 at 140ish mph haha.

Still need to fit oil cooler and change to r33 clutch fan and shroud setup.

  • 8 months later...

My key is too worn away to make a spare :P

Cleaning up for street duties and club sprints/ motorkana's.

Things ive brought / done.

R33 clutch fan and shroud fitted.

Weathersheilds.

S1 taillights, thanks konnect!

worked out what materials I need to paint it, colour will be Heron White, straight from the commodore.

Got some special rego plates that end in "H"

Some stuff I would also like/need to do.

fit 3" cat and mufflers

Compliant cage with padding.

Airbox

get the windowns re-tinted, nice and darkkkkk

Find my damn wheel lock nut key...

Thats about it.

Will get some pics when its had its colour change

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
