yeah it was very interesting without hicas it handled shit within 5 ks i put the fuse back in it would take alot of getting use to.the next cruz there should be more gtrs and i was impressed with the skill of the drivers and especially CHEEKY go girl :D next one hope you can make it shannon

haha thank you.

Yeah i need more practice at hills runs i reckon.. and the same navigators that know the hills roads i been driving helps big time...

If you do go on hills runs, just pm please. Sunday night was 100% tuff. ( I wont go into specifics being a public forum).

toodles.

Hey guys, put me down for the next one aswell.

Its great not having to put with traffic and finding out what the acr is really capable of. I had no wheel squeel on the corners, but am unsure just how much harder I can push the car. (wasnt prepared to find out with so many big trees and such high speeds)

Is there any thought on a track day to help me (and in all honesty probably most of us) furter hone our skills.

Still practice makes perfect, so Ill be back for more.

PS: my brakes came good after the cruise, I had thought I'd warped the rotors after one fast section. Has anyone ever experienced this and have any ideas on how to stop it happening again. (short of having to fit 16 inch brembco's)

clutch? what clutch i dont think i have one any more its bonded solid i think plus there over rated.Its definately on top of my list.N/A i would love a torqe controller but it doesnt do the drive line any good i hear and i enjoy trying to tame the beast and a bit of sideways action at 140 clicks gets the heart pumping and the passangers screaming right BOOSTD. next cruz just a small night crawler friday night but i fin work at 11pm PM meif anyone is keen

Da west side iz da maddest! Screaming you say ...lol I can't hear anything but 21psi now......yeah sideways at 140 is fun...nitto's + GTST = very similar to GTR in the hills---> Pitty I can't stay in my lane tho lol. I'll have to come down to M1's garage and unweld ur clutch. take care buddy

the east side is da best.M1s garage is still going strong done plenty crazy stuff like me mums brakes and setting up a wild fluffy dice system on me mates ghetto we are mad bastards doin the insane :spank:

Hey matty, they are the 555ZR(low profile). I have also used some AVS(yokohama) semi slicks. I was getting wheel spin on acceleration in 4th with 275's. The AVS's were like ice skates until getting some heat into them...and I wasn't keen on doing a burnout for every squirt. The nitto's are absolutely awesome dead cold and in the wet. I only get slight wheel spin in first and second now. Words can't describe the difference. They are not suited to the drag strip however.

no way! get out ! those wild fluffy dice systems are da maddest. Well the sydney based M1 has just installed some thermo fans, cold air, and currently workin on a mega top secret new TO THE EXTREME hybrid turd. I will name him "Mister Hanky"

Have done quite abit of recruiting also. The number of lines on base has almost tripled. M1's(sydney) has been quite busy lately =)

Hows the 31?

    • 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.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
