We had issues with the config of the EVC to start with. For some reason it had started just delivering 7psi. By the end of the day it was fine and back up to 15psi, but it's pretty obvious that I'll need Scotty's upgraded wastegate spring.

Thats a pretty good result for 7psi. lol.

You did better than my first attempt, good to see the tune is working and the engine runs fine. How does it feel? That's much more important than the power figure...

It feels pretty good. Looking forward to putting the good tyres back on and giving it a spank.

Shifts are a lot firmer, but throttle response isn't as good. Need to check that part of the map :/

Booked the car back in to get a couple of things with the tune fixed. Firstly whatever is causing the fault light and second the shitty throttle response. First thing Tuesday we should be good!

Just finished installing a GT2 FMIC with one hand into my AR-X. Had surgery on my right hand last week, so it is in a cast with titanium pins holding it together! Was a bit of a mission installing the intercooler, but I couldn't wait. Sweet intercooler kit!

Wow, that's dedication!

Got a mate ordering some bushes for me :-)

So much cheaper than retail when you work in the industry

Eg, r31 rack bushes, $15 fish vs around $45-60 on the eBay

Can't wait to have a bit more camber and caster in the front of the Stagea

I notice when the code clears itself it comes back on at idle, so we will pull out the code and see whats going on. Shouldn't be doing anything like that.

hardest part is the pipe on the drivers side to the intake. Oh I swore at that pipe many a times. good work on your persistance

Its not an issue because the aftermarket computer is interacting with the stock computer. Theo- I remember when we had yours on the dyno, and we had a good idle AFR, yet when I was reading the stock computer the O2 correction was doing silly things. The data that I was reading was not actually affecting the AFR. So I'd expect to see errors as the stock ECU is trying to use O2 correction, and sensing different things. 125%/75% combination most likely triggers errors.

There is also 3 different O2 feedbacks in the software to look at.... bit confusing.

Thats the way I see it - no doubt Scott will chime in and disagree :P

The stock computer thinks it still has control, and expects to see a result from its o2 cycling. When this doesn't come it throws a fault. The Fcon is trying to trick it but it isn't smart enough obviously. (or not set up correctly)

Either way, it makes no difference as the stock computer is doing nothing with regards to tuning anyway. As long as it stays happy enough to run the throttle and cams you are fine.

Sounds like hooking the wideband up should fix it. Pretty sure my harness is setup to feed that signal back to the stock ECU.

But if that's what it's doing we'll work it out tomorrow and I'll see if we can find a fix.

Is it presenting as left bank lean?

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
