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:

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
