lol, yeah keep the cardigan well hidden mate.

for sure the F1 was just insane for it's time. hard to contemplate. I went in one at age 16 in sydney and it was pretty special. ingrained in my memory. I would consider murdering for a serious drive in one.

F1 Longtail, definitely in the big mac orange !

Baron: that flat nose porsche is f**king sexual in race trim.

Mmmmm Quattro !

There is just too much nice stuff to think about !

Speaking of ruining threads, have you finished 98 yet ?

I don't see why more people don't go the long tail.

It's like ordering a salad roll, when I get a burger I want my meat and two veg !

lol, yeah I'm up to 99 now. just watched the first half of round 8, silverstone last night. schuey had a big smash on lap 1 (at stowe I think?) and looks to have broken his legs. not nice. :(

Oh for the love of God, get that bucket of bolts out of here!

Bloody HQ with a body kit. Or is that vice-versa..... either way, not aspirational.

Haha, sorry to gate crash the party but i just have a soft spot for those damned things. :wub:

Come on, all flaws aside they are one mean muscle car.

F1 GTR would be my pick of the maccas lot; Is like the Quarter Pounder (All meat and Protein) to the Roady F1s Big Mac (not quite man enough, leaves you wanting more) and the McFeast of the Long Tail (too much and only shows its advantages for short times)

How about a Dauer 962

IMO I think its about time the japs entered the super car group as they have proven themselves a worthy contender for years.

So yeah discuss/share stories.

Datsun / Nissan were competing against the Porsche 904 since the 1960's with the S54 2000 GT-B.

The R32 GTR was deigned to target the Porsche 959 and Group A Racing.

Due to the 'Gentlemen's Agreement" it had restricted the out right power and Porsche still saw the upper hand from factory.

But still knowing the GTR had massive potential with aftermarket support.

Same with Porsche themselves.

R35 GTR is now "Super Car" territory and competes with the Porsche 911 GT2 / GT3 / Lamborghini Gallardo / Ferrari F430, just to name a few.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
