Thats a serious fuel setup!!!!!

Such a nice surge tank!!!!

My power goal for my 25/30 is 650rwhp. I would rather have too much fuel than get it on the dyno and find out I don't have enough fuel. Obviously I don't think I'll get much more than 500rwhp with my current turbo and cam setup, so this will be total overkill.

I have never had or even been in a car running serious power through e85, so I am super keen to get this tune done! :D

  • 3 weeks later...

Dropped the car off at the mechanics before I fly back out to site. They will be doing:

  • Cusco arms all round + wheel allignment
  • Hardrace rear subframe bushes
  • Aluminium radiator
  • (if it arrives while I am gone) Surge tank
  • Wideband o2
  • IAT
  • Boost control solenoid
  • Ethanol content sensor

Took it to the track on Sunday, got a couple nice photos. Car got hot, fast. So mechanic will investigate why it got so hot, but he said it's more than likely my radiator. So probably putting a better one on.

Surge tank hasn't showed up, so no real engine work has been done.

Front has been raised a touch, all new arms are in, rear dif and subframe bushes done.

Car will be getting all above work done, plus a koyo 48mm rad, new hoses and thermostat when I fly back out. And speedflow everything.

Also got quoted $5500 for evo brembos all round, with evo 10 slotted rotors, bm57 master and braided lines. Currently after competitive quotes.

My nismo cluster and floor mats arrived. That odo reading hnnngg.

Dropped the car off at the mechanics again before I fly out. Hopefully will be getting all the work done this time around. Hopefully I can have everything in and tuned before I am back. Will see. Stay tuned for updates :D

Also bought a GTR style wing, currently at the paint shop.

Haven't updated in a while.

Car has been put on the backburner for pretty much this month. I had a couple incorrect pays in a row so I have been a little low on cash because house is number 1 priority! Even still....

Things I have bought and are in transit:

  • Nismo solid/short shifter + wavy washers
  • Nismo lug nuts
  • Nismo engine and transmission mounts
  • Braided brake lines

Things I have bought and had installed:

  • DBA4000 slotted rotors
  • QF1 pads
  • GTR style spoiler

I bought the above mounts because I melted one of mine into jelly at a track day. I made the choice to get better rotors and pads because I felt I lacked the confidence to brake late, plus I need something better for when I start hitting up barbs (June 26th!!). I am also on the hunt for rims and semi slicks.

Spoiler looks good. Fitment was meh - holes JUST lined up, but the base doesn't sit flush on the boot. It's raised by 2-3mm on the boot on the inside of the legs. Being black it isn't that noticeable, but it annoys me haha.

Had a f**king shit day yesterday.

Tossed up for ages whether I was going to put on slicks because there was the chance of rain. Didn't put them on, and stayed sunny the rest of the arvo.

2nd lap, misjudged a corner came off into the grass and took the front lip off, snapped in half. Car now idling at 2000rpm, won't drop. Righto.

Go for another run, popped the elbow coming out of the turbo, day over.

Bought a new front lip, less aggressive this time. Dropping the car off at the mechanic and he can deal with it.

It doesn't rain mate, it pours. Sorry to hear it.

Isn't that the truth! Had the mechanic ring me up a the next day. Apparently I have some issues that really need sorting on the reliability side of things. The turbo oil drain hose is melted, my boost controller is failing miserably, harnesses aren't routed properly in relation to the high mount. I have given him the all clear to go to town on it to make it reliable before I continue mods.

The high idle was a vac line that someone plugged with a bolt that just blew out, and the hose couldn't take the extra boost. He is going to weld a 90 deg elbow off the turbo, eliminates the chance of that popping again.

Got the car back from the mechanic. New boost controller controlled by the ECU, elbow, lines. Relocated the harness through the wheel well also.

HOLY SHIT the car pulls now. And it is smooth. I never realized how awful my old controller was, because now boost comes on smooth as, and holds all the way to 7200. Feels like a completely different car!

Also threw some advan 050s on the track rims I bought. Lets hope the price was worth the grip. Sunday is the last day I get to feel my car at a small track before I take it around Barbagello. Lets hope everything holds out!

Nismo goodies in the mail! Already installed the nismo shifter, got engine and transmission mounts to go on next swing. They look rock solid, can't wait!

thats sick man glad your happy with it now... just gotta mention i run advan ad08r on the road and i LOVE them so im sure the 050 would be even better

keep up the progress mate its coming along very nicely..

PS.. do we get a pic of this "less agressive front lip" by any chance? ;)

Cheers mate. Will hopefully get some good runs in Sunday and be able to put a couple vids up.

Yes, when it's fitted up I will share for sure. Looks so bare just having the stock bumper again.

Had some free time, so put my new nismo engine mounts on. Picture for reference (old v new). That old mount was well fuarked.

Lip had attempted delivery today, missed it by half hour :( Now not getting it until Tuesday :'(

EDIT: The absolute champion of a driver turned around and came and delivered the lip! Pics soon.

I'm sure that you don't need to worry about the A050's.

What size wheel tyre on the front?

18x9.5+22 255/40

I ended up raising the suspension slightly and adjusting the damper in the coilover and now it doesn't scrub.

    • 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.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
