mix of both cars

I made the mistake of looking at the dates of these... been so long since I drove in anger on a track its depressing

You do know there is a very easy way to fix such a problem?

Yeah that's why pretty much all of my Targa pics have watermarks - always been too tight to fork out the $400 on pics! :)

Here's some others of my car(s) I've found laying around.

And a good one of the last girl before the suspension was sorted!

I've always wondered..... what does the number plate signify?

You are so uncultured :)

It's the name of the dragon out of Tolkien's novel "The Hobbit" - because the old girl was also a fire breathing, money hoarding monster. :)

Mmmmmkay

Gotta agree Zebra, love the name and the reference (knew it was familar) but the non geek reply had me on the floor with laughter, rare so soon after waking up! Thanks guys, also that shot of the 34 bottoming out...ouch. So painful to watch, surely it was a nightmare inside the car?

was that with stock suspension or just way too low?

love the car and good to see a 34 used in anger, absolute dream car for me and the more Tolkien references you can fit on one the better!

Yeah, and he had a belly encrusted with jewels and ancient gold, unspeakable amounts of wealth lost forever.

Sits as one of the most consistantly accurate representations of GT-R ownership you will ever find in fiction, hahaha.

Some of mine - all at the RAC driving centre though. Almost, almost made it to barbs but then had to pull out due to selling car rolleyes.gif

hard to do this when you've had so many cars... I'll start with my favourite car. the Supra was so much fun to drive:

So why did you sell it, tard :)

The main reason was I found myself going sideways into a gravel trap stopping less than a foot away from the tyre barrier, which made me realise I REALLY didn't want to crash the Supra!

The options were to reign it in a bit and drive at 9/10ths or buy something I didn't care much about, that would be alot cheaper to repair and wouldn't break your heart if it was totalled... A couple of years later that part of it paid off. I couldn't care less that I crashed the 180SX! Well, I cared that I crashed, but I didn't care about the car.

    • 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.
