imo classic gtrs are the win any day, especially for their day, imagine driving thoes things back in the 70s!

but since the r32 gtr in all its variations the rest have been trying to live up the the origional king, several have gotten close even gotten their but the king still wins

Yeah that black R34 looks MEGA.

The rear of the R35 looks spot on, but the front doesn't make it look anything special.

If it had the lights square on infront say like the current BMWs (or like the R34) it would look much nicer

But didn't Paul Newman and Robert Redford get rich from the railways? ;)

Can someone explain this reference to me? Showing your age there Terry..lol

As for a six month stint in the mines, i wouldnt have my nice sheltered workshop in the railways to come back to if i left for that long unless it was long service leave and by the time i qualify for that im not sure there will be any iron/bauxite/gold/uranium left in the country...it will have all been shipped to China!

Agree with 34's being the most aggressive model, and hence by a bloodied nose, my favourite of the lot!

these shots might be reposts?

anyway since we're on a black 34 theme, heres a more local one!

owner is on SAU, is he in this thread?

only difference i can spot from the yank one posted earlier is the brake calipers arent painted blue and the bonnet isn't vented. That would complete the look for me i think.

(oh yeah and the OTT wing..might bring that down a few inches. ,maybe)

aaah never seen it. I know, i know, its on my movie bucket list!

as for evilsub, never seen him post. Must be one of those buggers that actually has a life :closedeyes:

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
