I've been thinking about what I want to do with the car, basically I'm looking to keep it 80% Daily and 20% track.

I've got some GTT front and rear calipers that I'm going to look at mounting but I need to have a good look as I think the hole is too small.

Slotted rotors would be next as well.

I've been researching the crap out of seats lately and I'm tossing up between a genuine Bride and getting it modplated or buying an ADR approved seat (Autotechnica Bride Look-a-like) and using that. The stock seats dont really bother me too much comfort wise but I slide around in them when I go through some twisties which gets annoying.

So I took my car to my usual mechanic and got the timing belt and a brand new starter motor put in. Starts super quick now which is good.

He also pointed out that my "Aragosta Coilovers" are cheap chinese copies since they had no branding/stamp on the base of the tube. Only "aragosta" written on the damper adjustment knob. Anyway the front left is on its way out now and I'm in need of a replacement pair. As far as I know I need to use R34 Gtr coilovers since they have an "eye" hole to mount them but I'm am not 100% sure

So a few things have happened lately, first and foremost is I got caught up in a RBT/Licence check/Vechicle inspection station. This is the first time I've ever been pulled over believe it or not... for anything.

First thing I did when I got pulled over was click record of my iphone. What didnt go to plan was my mates ringing me so I had to start the recording 3 seperate times!

The cop was nice about it and he understood. Long story short he was very fair. Said my pod filter had to be enclosed and my front wheels could not be outside the guard.

Said the height appeared to be ok and couldnt believe that I've never had a ticket before.

Long story short was I got a $110 fine and 1 point for wheels protruding from the body and unenclosed pod filter.

I could even drive home which was good. Which brings me to my next stage:

The car is currently off the road getting the front coilovers reconditioned as a knock appeared in the front left. While thats happening I've been sussing out a Topstage carbon fibre pod filter cover for GTT but I'm yet to recieve and email back with measurements for the intake hole. New wheels are on the cards too as I would like to go 1 step down from freaking awesome as to try and legitimise the car a bit.

I'm thinking XD9 18 x 9 +20 all round. I'm picking up one today from a mate to test fit and I'll see how she goes.

Thanks for looking guys

That's tuff. How much camber are you running and does it scrub?

I havent measured it exactly, The fronts are pretty straight. I got told by a few people that the rears are around 10 degrees??? But yeah I'm not 100% sure. As for scrubbing: In the rears there is no scrub and the front only scrubs on hard lock. Nothing too serious but.

XD9s in 18x10 +18 are my favourite all time wheel but they do take quite a bit of fiddling to get inside the guards on 33 / 34 non-GTRs.

Consider Varrstoen 3.3.1 / 3.3.2. 18 or 19 x9.5" +22. They are CE28n Replicas. Should fit pretty flush / moar legal on a 34 25gt. They look great on 34s too.

Also ditch the pod all togethor unless it has some dramatic sound difference that you have to keep (understandable). Stock airbox will make same power / torque / everythang :)

p.s. dont got the 18x9 +20 XD9's... they have alot less dish than the 18x10 +18 and will look shit all round. Can look good if you keep the 10" +18 rear though, but all four corners wont be as nice, they just look a bit off imo.

I've got 18x10's on the rear now and 18x9 +20's on the front. Still looks good but it doesnt have as much dish.

I've buggered the pod filter off and got myself a stock box now with a K&N panel filter. I've re used the piping from the pod so it still retains a bit of intake noise and gets rid of the pointless crap hanging off the standard piping.

Just put a GTR front end on it.

:-D

That would look good! I would want to go genuine though if I did go down that path

Clean car man. Still planning on doing the GTT brakes? Next plans?

Thanks Mate, GTT brakes are still there, just waiting on the extra $$ that I can spend on the car/rotors.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
