Wasn't an off the shelf colour. "BD03 Candy Red 2KA solid" is what i have written on the invoice. They made the colour and canned them for me. The cam covers are small enough that you can get away with using cans.

That does look nice. Was it just a rattle can red?

Have you read the last page at all?

Yeah, and nowhere does it say what type of application it was, just that he did it himself . Could have used an air compressor and a gun so I was curious. Thanks for your useful reply though.

Ah righto, thanks mate, looks the goods

Sorry mate I had a douchebag moment this morning.

Motor all assembled now.

Front brakes are on. Red calipers should match nicely with the road TE37's.

Racepace 9L Extended Sump - Baffled With Trap door.

Replacement Transmission also in - OS Giken twin plate has been replaced with a new Nismo Coppermix Twin Plate Competition clutch.


Turn key was yesterday so am looking forward to going in this weekend for a geezer.

Nice one man!

It's gonna be epic!

When is Chris going to tune it?

The current front pipe might be a bit restrictive for the -9's so have opted for a full Racepace 3.5" Exhaust. Might take 3 weeks to be ready with final tune. He may let me take it with an "interim" tune while the exhaust is being made so I can get some more work done on it. (get rest of cage out, replace interior trim etc)

I see!

Yeah, sound like a plan... Drive it on the "interim" exhaust to get the extra work done.

What power you aiming for again?

Aiming to max out the -9's on 98RON. Chris has let me know it should do around 330rwkw @20 PSI.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Nice figure for street.

Very nice mate. Looks so very clean and super sexy with those engine covers painted.

There is just something about a freshly built engine sitting in place of the engine bay........just like pawn.

Cant wait to see more progress.

Well what can I say. Massive milestone yesterday. Instead of just going in to checkout the car, Chris told me I could pick it up on an "interim" tune while the new RPM Exhaust is fabricated. RPM really don't stuff around when they start work on something.

IMG_0355_zps81eff44f.jpg
Raised up & wheel alignment done to RPM specs. Chris tested it for me and it is actually a bit over 100mm now. Sweet.

After not driving it for 8 years, i've forgotten how small or rather snug these cars are.

R34 GTR Seats in, Cage Pulled Out.

IMG_0345_zps058d475d.jpg

Brakes - there is around 2cm measured gap between calliper and the 17" TE37's

IMG_0343_zps9670de22.jpg

Note this tune is just a temporary tune done so I can drive it around to get some work done on the interior etc.

Boost is set to 15PSI with timing pulled, standard front pipe only with old cat back exhaust.

*This is what RPM call an "Interim Tune"

*Interim Tune Only*

    • 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.
