welllllll....I've finally got my hands on a block so you might just see me on track before the end of the year :P

Interesting to see how the khumos go.....front is where you need the grip really...and the Toyo proxes ra1s I tried a while back were excellent for road tyres.

atm, the back is where i need grip... cant get the power down!! guess i'll have to save up and get some softer springs for the rear to allow more squat! that combo has got to be better than the sime and other unknown brand im running now!! good for drifting as they dont wear at all!!!!

that block is for the GTR?? was it that hard to find one, just hard to find one at the right price?? why so long til shes back on the track??

ahh well apparently everyone in Oz who has taken an engine out has found it was stuffed, we can't run a bored block so I had to find one with factory size, much harder than I thought....got it now so the rebuild is beginning again....

would be definately hard for them to tell, not often they would get you to take the head off these to check... makes the racing more expensive though! if you blow the engine up in a race.. you HAVE to buy a new one and cant repair the old one! doesn't seem right!

Well I just downloaded two of those vids and all I can say is... shocking driving! Did no one stay on the track? Must have been the pressure of performing for the video.

Redex and Fatz - you should be ashamed of yourselves :P

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
