And one more update for the weekend.


Found this while sorting out all the parts that need to be relocated.

Forgot I bought it - Standard Airbox with Snorkel and new Blitz Filter Element. Getting rid of the K&N pod filter setup that it came with. No benefit at the power levels i'm looking at.

She has been moved into storage until the rebuild in July. Folks need to get some work done to their garage and they've let me store it in there for 7 years for which i'm grateful.

Thank god for having a mate with a big shed though!

Looking forward to some more updates mate! Awesome build!

With the engine build does that include labour to take engine out/in and tune? And how many different stages do racepace do?

Man nothing better looking than a black 32GTR. Epitome of TUFF!

I was thinking the same thing when you posted the recent pics of yours. Yours looks awesome with those skirts and wheels.

Great build mate, love the black GTR. Nice choice on the -9's too, if I had the cash they are exactly what I would use on my 260. Response and Power :)

thanks dude :)

Yes, that cost includes engine, out/in and tune. I started doing engine out on mine but then abandoned the idea as i'm poor for time atm and it will create too much of a mess for the workshop to work with

.

There is also a Stage 2 and that's a 2.8L (about 14K from memory). Dunno about Stage 3 but i'd say that'd be 3L? I'll ask next time i'm around there.

Black.
GTR.
Fitment.


So - now I'm jealous.
And I wish I had the money upfront to fix my GTR.

Saving sucks. :-(


She looks stunning mate. VERY clean, hope to cruise sometime.
Two black on black, with added black GTR's would be a cool sight. ;-)

any updates?

Not much to update atm unfortunately. Lifes been a bit hectic (in a good way). Got my bucks this weekend. Going to get married in mid June and honeymoon straight after that. Car and all parts are currently sitting in a large shed....waiting, waiting.

Will try and get to the car and sort out all parts and get the fuel system sorted, hopefully before the wedding, ready for the rebuild. N1 Engine is getting dropped off early July to begin the build, followed by the car when they need it.

Damn. This is the end, I was only just getting in to it. :(

Awesome build so far man, I can't wait until you start the re-build. :)

ETA on rebuild?

Spent some time yesterday at the cars temporary resting place, sorting out the parts. Removed the 17" TE37 that couldn't be balanced. Will drop it off this week to get repaired.

(all the stuff stacked behind the car front left to right are parts)

Well getting married this weekend so will be away from anything car related for a couple of weeks then.......REBUILD TIME!

In the mean time considering what to do about the seat situation.

Currently have twin Sparco Pro 2000's with custom seat rails by Meridian Motorsport. (not adjustable, bolted in)

Considering selling these and getting R34 GTR seats. I figure they'll be great for daily driving and tracks days too. Thoughts?? I'm not the biggest fan of the standard 32R seats.

Yeah R34 GTR seats are nice but there are other options too like recaro and bride. Hav a look around first.

Condolences on the wedding one step closer to death for you my friend......

joken..... Congrats and enjoy the day!

HAHA , yeah a got a lot of that on the bucks night

hanks mate :)

Also, a bit late but congrats on baby no.2 mate. Can't wait to have a couple of my own in the next few years :)

Eagerly awaiting the updates on your car too. Soooo clean and awesome!!

lol....thanks mate.

well my project is slow, puzzled as to why it is :dry:, but I'm as eager as hell to wrap it all up (before baby no.2 comes)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • 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.
