oh really lol, will have to check that out

[WAGON_BOY]

We can do craigs next week if he is keen, i wouldlike to do it one weeknight, give him a nudge in this direction

i have been looking at the emanage software and it lookspretty basic, i think the stock ecu is going to be the issue.

he's got a nismo ecu........

[DVS JEZ]

nismo ecu with emanage piggy?

[bigkevracer]

he's got a nismo ecu........

Yup, and the eManage. Can't tune the Nismo sadly.

Sorry for the bad quality, I think the Mrs has taken the camera walkabouts.

[Rudi_ARX-TURBO]

That was a good run Alex

[PN-Mad]

Tell you the truth I thought it was shit. I knew the other guy was a VE v6, and it was line ball right to the end. I thought I'd only go 14.x

Wasn't as fast as other runs, because I think I held 3rd too long. Was shifting at 6k, because there is no more power over that, I was into 4th every time before the line.

[Rudi_ARX-TURBO]

Looked good to me, a vev6 before me ran a 15.1 so the veyou ran got the same time as me 14.1?

[PN-Mad]

14.4 was the VE. Wasn't stock. Goes ok I guess for a 6.

Can't wait to see what it does when I can actually launch it awd, not trickle off the line. Will have to wait a little while.

[Commsman]

Alex, how did you find manually shifting? Was there much delay in getting the next gear?

Mine seems much slower changing in manual mode compared to how hard/fast it slams thru in auto under wot.

[PN-Mad]

It's pretty much instantaneous Leon. Only gear I have to think about is 1-2 which feels like a 500rpm lag. Other than that it's pretty much on the dot, say 200rpm. That's the benefit of being able to adjust the torque management tables in uprev.

[Commsman]

Nice!

[iamhe77]

I like the sound of that Alex

Would've been nice if it came from the factory like that, I mean if Mitsubishi can do it with their 380 why can't Nissan?

[PN-Mad]

Its also a product of the Transgo kit as you guys know.

Where it doesn't drop into gear is when you are on part throttle or light throttle, and if you are using manual, it will take quite a while to pick up the next gear. I could tune this out, but it would mean slightly harsher shifts on auto which really there is no benifit. If you put your foot down, then it shifts up when you ask.

sorry i cant read that ime slip is it 13.8 at 99.9 mph? if so thats very good! as soon as this crappy melbourne weather clears up abit ill run mine

[PN-Mad]

Yeah, 13.84 at 99.98......FUUUU.... Wish it said 100.

Funny enough, my 14.8 single spinner still went over 100mph. Was in rwd. Will go back in awd fr some launch action.

As weird as it is wheel spin normally helps with mph even tho u run a slower time

Well, today I got the front shaft back in, just in time for it to be raining in Sydney for a few days which is nice.

Also had an impromptu Castor bush fitting session, after Jetwreck decided they were flogged out and I needed new ones! Has made the car a fair be more pointy in the front end, and decreased some of my NVH.

Ah, and had a look down a fujitsubo compared to my Nismo exhaust today while they were next to each other- very different in the rear can. The Nismo has a single pipe through the rear can, that ends in a 2.5 inch or so single outlet that leads to the twin tips. The Fujitsubo on the other had splits into two sections almost immediately in the rear can, and continues through to the tips. So there you go.

Awsome thread...keep up the good work..I will be watching progress with intrest before i start on my mods...

[PN-Mad]

Today I went for a front and rear alignment at heasmans in south Sydney. I've had work done by them before, and while they are not the cheapest, their work, and experience and the cars they work on are all top notch.

No print outs, as it was done manually, but I had a little camber taken out of the rear, so it's now about 1.5 degrees, and rear toe in was reduced from 7mm to about 2mm. This has reduced the jumping round feeling I got from the rear under really short sharp bumps. Everything else was just about perfect.

Thinking about heading back out the drags in the near future with awd to keep these pesky little 2.5s at bay...
