Everyone seems pretty accustomed to the difference nowadays. Considering how many cars you see running them on the street anyway.


I think you're talking about all those folks saying they're running Semi's and then mention they have RS-Rs or KU37s lmao.

associated tyre did an alright job on mine many years ago and have a pit style setup so low isn't an issue

Funnily enough someone who works there owns an R34 GTT that I see when I drive past.

I went to them a few years ago to get an alignment for my car. I had the specifications as they were hard to find and the response I received was "thanks we'll work it out". Ended up getting the car back with the tune wayyyy off. They made my car look like one of those stance cars with the amount of camber added, was maxing out the camber bolts. Won't be going there again :\

looking at fb someone asks: " i was under the impression that when events are help at race tracks and the organisers have to organise the insurance (aasa etc) doesn't that cover things like this? " Which is a semi-warranted question, but also a bit ignorant.
Response: " AASA/CAMS insurance for is Public Liability + ambulance costs @ the track; it doesn't cover medical transport from track to hospitals and other medical expenses.

AFAIK...

Ambulance Costs are a separate component that goes into organising a track day, it's completely independant to the AASA/CAMS permits (Track Public Liability)... but having an ambulance present at certain tracks (pretty much anything high speed) is often a requirement of AASA/CAMS granting you a permit for the track day.

We pay the ambos to be on standby the whole day, and to be a first responder should there be an incident. If the ambulance leaves the track with a patient to take them to a hospital, the cost falls on the patient (thus, why you get Ambulance Coverage for like $45/year)...

I wonder what happens to the track day if the ambulance has to take someone away (even if some old guy is having trouble breathing in the pits and needs a ride to the hospital), does the lack of ambulance presence shut down the track for the rest of the day? I'd had to think of the impact for the club if the ambo was gone for an hour and there was a major crash at the track...

Lack of ambulance stops PI and Broadford track days

lets talk ECUs

i was going to big single the sedan and go haltech and all that shit but since ive canned it, im thinking about going for a -5 set up now, and obviously PFC again.
i know chris is going to say PFC, so is matt.

yalla. discuss

You missed the VWL disagreement last week.
It depends on what you're trying to achieve, and how tight your sphincter is. But I think we all know the answers to these questions, therefore you already know the answer.

Should have bought my big single sedan

The answer is Nistune OR the R34 plugin GTT ecu from Haltech. Has all the features you want and 0 wiring, easy to tune, local, etc. Hard to argue against.

wont work on the new car.
will ask the boys at RP and see what they reckon

How can two ECU's that work perfectly on a R34 magically not work on a new car?
But -5's are really never the answer for anything, so I'll assume it's a 26 in which case Nistune is the answer.
Also, -9's are the answer. Also there's probably a plugin ECU for what you're doing.

 

Seriously the only reason for PowerFC is "it already had a powerfc in it"

There's a 33R PFC in for sales section with hand controller for $500

Tune for $500 and you're done for less than the price of a Haltech

That's why people like PFCs

yeah might just go another PFC. wish i didnt sell mine, then again might just get a D jetro and run no AFMs
 

  • Like 1

wait, is -5's for the GTR or the sedan? whats happening with the sedan?

but seriously, just dont touch the GTR. leave it, let it appreciate. the less you drive it, the less repairing it will need.

now get some wheels for the stagea

Better at having a hand controller? I don't think so

But I carry a laptop and can fully tune my car wherever I go, with better functionality than a hand controller :P

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
