Good day out for some, seemed to be a fair few people needing recovery. SAU was well represented too but at least nothing major.

Decent turn out as per the last few rounds, even with the short notice. Will do the spreadsheet later, let me know if I missed anyone or mucked up groupings.

I only got 1 session in before my gearbox started locking me out of 5th and 6th!!! The only option was to short-shift 4th so much it was like I was skipping it, but then I could at least keep it in 5th for the entirety of the straight. This hurt my top speed badly...

I didn't let that deter me though. I had an awesome time and from my first session ever on Sandown at 1:33.01, despite the gearbox problem, I managed to get back within 0.4s so I'm pleased with my progression on the track, just bummed the times don't provide the evidence!

Great to meet some of you. Looking forward to the next one already.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
