after having a talk with my tuner i think i go -5 turbos what cams would suit them? is 280 to big

The ones Nissan put in it when they built it will be fine. Just get some cam gears. There are 4,268 threads on this very subject if you want to look into it further.

:rofl:

Evo was an option but i just don't like them, driven two of my mates mild mod evo 7 and damn are they quick! but i just not a big fan of them.

plus group a gtr look so nice!

Yes i agree they do look nice and are exciting to drive. but if i had an evo i would have alot more races/track days under my belt.

as for the cams i believe i ran some tomei 260 with 9.1mm lift on -5 and they were nice. i'd have to ask my engine builder the exact specs.

Ohh this ia very long and slippery slope my friend, be very careful once you start its hard real hard to stop.

I know this cause i just want a good track car as well............just buy mine lol i have other toys to play with

>_<

i saw your viper build that thing is amazing!

i know its a very slippery slope ahaha! just have to look at my bent :D track gts-t LOL!

On the whole shock topic at your experiane level I rekon I could throw a set of bc coilivers in your car then use the same springs in a set of 18grand penske's and honestly I'd be very suprised if you could determine which shock was which. We've done it with a few guys who have campained state level sedans for a while.

I have a set of Bc's a set of proflex and a set of penske's that will fit a gtr easily if you wanna see what I mean.

Don't waste your money on stupidly expensive shocks just because they are a Jap brand name and expensive.

I'm not recommending you buy bc's either I'm recommending you don't buy something overkill.

I'm sure the serious qld guys would agree if I said have a chat with Murray coote about getting a set of shocks made up to suit your application and budget.

Springs your kidding youself if you rekon 10plus!

Been there Tested that. I'd garantee you'll take a second atleast out of the car with the right springs, even more so if you do get the weight down.

Good to see another gtr being built.

Yeh, speak with Murray. Check bank balance and then be forced to go buy 2nd hand of yahoo auctions :(

Murray's stuff is good value in the grand scheme, and IMO you're better of slashing laptime via great handling versus more horsepower, it just makes more sense.

Having said that, I use a set of Apexi N1 shocks in mine, but one day, oonnnnne day, I'll get some MCA :D

hmm

another question. need to pick my ecu to go with the engine specs (gt-ss aim for 500hp @ engine)

Limited the list down to 2

d-jetro or vipec, i know my tuner loves d-jetro as that is what he sugguest for me to run when i went to saw him yesterday (forgot to ask about vipec)

what are people throughts? cost wise i can get d-jetro for around $1000-$1200 with all the gear, still waiting on price on the vipec

Edited by Kaido_RR

I once read a similar question about ViPec being posted and saw a Vic guys response which wasa picture of the ViPec box being used as a door stop. Harsh, but originally there were some integration problems, I dont think the EBC finction is still working properly. Many have great success, others seem to struggle with needing a few tweaks. But the end result seems great.

Not trying to write off the product, but I think its important to consider as if its not the recommendation of your tuner then it means the time and expense, dyno time etc getting the ECU working is likely to come out of your pocket in tune time. If he tells you to go ViPec then odds are he has his head around the little gremlins and/or wont charge you to flash/fix issues etc

Just pop in to see my tuner to ask about the Vipec, he said he can tune it and has no issue tuning it but for the price he said he rather put an Adaptronic in my car as its alot cheaper and you get similar functions.

However he pretty much sold me on going d-jetro. i have to agree with his reasoning that having the h/c with the knock function allows you to detect problems before they destroy your engine on the track

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
