Yeh dont worry they have been more than good to me for the tuning of the haltech and other work.

Yeh it certainly gets there quick and yes happy with how the car drives. To sort out a little bit of fuel economy im going to get the haltech wideband dual controller kit.

Just curious as to how the Haltech wideband dual controller kit will improve your fuel economy, surely it was tuned using a lambda sensor of some sort... and how much improvement/saving in fuel consumption you will/should get? Say it again.... nice car ;-)

This is where the haltech makes it a pretty special ecu. The haltech with the wide band kit allows the tuner to put in target AFR at whatever RPM and the computer will automatically adjust for that AFR all the time. So basically its kind of like having the car being fine tuned all the time that your driving and however your driving.

And thanks mate

I think you need some mesh for the front bar!

Btw, did you end up getting the wing blade from the group or..?

Yeh I did kylie I just have to pick it up...and no front mesh, in real life looks great with the big intercooler out the front

Wouldn't that mean that the tune needs to be a long way off to get any sort of real gain? What your refering to is closed loop lambda control and even STD GTR ecu's do this but only to a certain extent. Can i ask what your consumption was before and what it is now? If your getting about 13lts per 100kms its about right for your mods and power, if its 15+ its not good not only for your pocket but also your engine. Cheers

Im in this dilema atm, Ive got the mesh ordered and powdercoated but big shiny intercooler looks very tough in person. Shame the police dont seem to agree with me though =/

Not really no.. It will hold a target afr at all load points, not just cruise like a stock ecu... even then the stock only see's a very slim window of afr. As air temp, intake temp, engine temp and load varies, so dose afr... it's difficult to simulate all these conditions on a dyno. The other thing is that most ecu's can't compensate between load cells, they switch from one to the next, where target arf doesn't really care what load cell your in.

means your car is as crisp and as fun as possible, while still being very safe.

it's one of the reasons I went with haltech.

Been a long time since I updated this.

Anyway since all the mod upgrades it has been running like a dream. I since added soem 2 piece front rotors and hawl performance ceramic pads all round. Other thank that its just been enjoying the car. Its still making the same power is healthy and immaculate as ever.

Very very nice Dan, congrats.

This ->" Its such a great car and a pleasure to drive."

I get the same feeling in my 32. Solid and a pleasure to drive.

It's clear your car is your passion too.

BTW - Your thread subject popped up this morning and I thought I had an R34 GTR :rofl2:

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
