Paul's R32 Gtr Track Build

[paulR32gtr]

Pardon if already mentioned but I couldn't find what ECU you are using. Still stock?

It's using a PowerFC which runs everything well. I do want a racepak iq3 dash as a silver bullet for engine monitoring, shift lights, logging etc which won't work with it. Might be able to direct wire it but not a nice neat solution.

Engine monitoring is high on the agenda at the moment.

Hope the tune goes smoothly.

Cheers me too!

So an ECU change? Haltech, Link or something else?

I've seen those IQ3s on go karts. Looks pretty nice.

[paulR32gtr]

Yeah I was looking at the Links, need to have a chat with my tuner about the Haltech's as they are another option.

[nk7]

I think Links also do something similar to an IQ3 that would probably plug and play with their ECUs..might be worth looking into. I imagine your PowerFC would sell easily if you were keen.

EDIT: Looks like Haltech have an IQ3 as well..

Rattling noise sorted, seems it was the lower timing cover, pulled apart and put back together and noise gone.

Tuning should be mid next week.

Sensational build paul, looks fantasic.

[sav man]

The IQ3 will hook up to most ECU's with a CAN bus (Haltech, Motec, Link...). Heaps of ECU companies brand the IQ3, but they are all the same racepac unit

I've just started fitting 1 of these to my GTR, good thing thus far, use's cheap Bosch sensors, and is 100% stand alone.

mine was $736 with the exchange rate at the time,

Did you buy it from the UK direct?

Sure did mate, too dear to buy from the Aussie dealer, Aussie dealer was almost $1100.

Not bad. A bit over $850 if you buy locally I believe...

[mrsr32]

do you run a rear strut brace? just want to know if it clears your battery

[paulR32gtr]

No rear strut brace but the cage should make up for it the rear legs pick up on the wheel wells. I have been told they have little effect on the rear anyway.

Probably because the dealer buy price is higher than you paid direct.

Wonder when and where he got that priced?

[blackrex]

I was a dealer for these products till the end of last year, the constant underselling from the UK changed that.

[paulR32gtr]

Word is the tune is finished. Some of the near 25 year old coil packs didn't make the cut so a set of split fires have gone in.

Best bit is it was happily making 336/337/338 rwkw which Chris reckons you don't see often with gt-ss on 98, been wound back a bit to 330rwkw @20psi - very happy with that!

Should be picking her up tomorrow arvo.

[Ants]

good reliable numbers their Paul. Good stuff

[nk7]

Ooh the baby's coming back home!

[Roy]

Awesome to hear it is running and well at that!

So , have you given any thought to what the next car is going to be?

Halves in an R300 kit that we can throw a S2000 motor in?

Its not the same tinkering on my car and talking to myself. I should never have left Cliff behind in Portugal, he was always there for me and I just threw him away
