i'm sure erik means well - i hope he's learned quite alot about cars because from the sounds of things we've had the same discussions over icq and msn! hahaha

not the best comparison photos, but you get some idea...

I can't quantify exactly how many seconds the suspension mods have given me, but from my first time down to my 3rd time down i've taken off about 4 to 5 seconds.

This has been with the aid of both suspension, power and an excellent choice of tyres ;) i've increased perhaps 10-15kw at the wheels? since my first time down - but i'm limited to my damn stock turbo!!!

Are you after a drag setup or a circuit setup? i can give you some advice on circuit setup for the GTT if you're interested...i've had 2 goes at and im nearly there!!!

I'm more interested in not getting flogged by chipped commodores! Seriously though, I'd be interested in doing a few 400 runs...maybe not track, I don't want to push my luck with this setup just yet. Overall though it's my daily driver, so it's more of a street application with hints of fun ;)

lol.. hehe..

believe it erika ;) there was nothing especially crazy about the car (just the driver maybe :)).. and Dale's was similar at the time.. see nismor34 had the better time, but then he came over and said "you should adjust the timing a bit might make a diff".. did it there on the spot and then 5 mins later r34gtt-r got a better time. but it was all good fun. It was a few months ago when i lived in melb. oh it had a carbon fibre bonnet too (woop).

i don't see why you couldn't get that time if a stock 33 can get low 14's.. with the NEO engine which is slightly more powerful (i think its 205kw fly stock as opposed to 175kw for a 33). The engine is only a few years old too so will prolly be running smoother than a 10 year old 33 as well.

    • 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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
