They are big donks! And they sound mint!!

Yep I'm ex-westrac so I'll claim that compliment [emoji12]

No bull shitting out at westrac. Especially with the rebuild, dyno guys. And the men who sign cheques. It's a well known fact with in the industry that you know your stuff. Then move on to bigger pay days! 2 x dyno guys, 2 x mechanics, 2 x guys that pay the bill. Fully questioned on all steps, I honestly find it easier to work with those guys than lackeys. Broke down the quote with every single section of the processes costed and explained with pictures and drawings, plus induction time, travel time, materials list and labour break down. Good knowledge and fun.

Gold finger, filling r33's with silver brazing bronzing, and weld? How's it looking for repairs?

Not to shabby, 1000 bucks for the rad suport and skirt panels landed from the states or i could tube the front end..... im not sure lol

Hmm locally available k-frame? (Australia) From a rear end jobbie. Seen a few places in wa that do half cuts? Would be expensive though?

Good times to work around a rb30 they sit alot higher and it would need mods?

Forward facing plengam and a low mount  manifold is pretty much it. I may modify the mpunts to drop the motor for center of gravity helping. Iv toyed with the radical idea of putting the rad in the boot and having the quater windoes as air intakes....

Sweet

Its literally the rail across the top where the rad bolts too, the panel that sits under the washer bottle and a bumper rio. Bonnet and bumper will be carbon or fiberglass. New under tray will be mild steel and go from front bumper lip to rear subframe

Trick.

Love my front plenum. Is it a 26? No. Where is the bov? Look harder. She's frying the 245's in 1/2. Need to look at new coil overs won't sit and squat since I lifted the ride height? Tramping. All the rear bushes Look good?

Coilovers wont help tramping, too stiff a coilover and low profile tyres dont mix. More side wall = better traction but reduces lateral loading. Less side wall = worse traction but better lateral loading. Then u have to think contact patch, right width for right power.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
