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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
