Wot, damn...

Money they couldn't resist I suppose.

One possible benefit is due to opening up to the huge US market prices might settle a bit

Currently the 2500T goes for around $4500, then add in pinning it in, and tuning, and the other "supporting" stuff that it needs,  it will be a costly endeavour 

You seem to be all over "tuning and stuff", do you have any experience with torque management????

Fom my research the Haltech  torque management is awesome, and there's no point in having alot of powers if you cannot lay it down

In theory I know how to set it up, and know how to adapt different strategies to manage torque such as reduce timing on wheel slip (and ramp the time retard as wheel slip % increases), and/or apply the same on the DBW throttle body as wheel slip increases you decrease the max amount the throttle can open. For boost applications you can even trim duty cycle etc. Then all of that you can even throw on-top random cylinder cuts to reduce large amounts of torque.

I'm planning to install either a front wheel speed sensor OR (lazy way out) a GPS sensor and calculate slip % then apply whatever strategy above works most effectively and efficiently. Just avoiding the full cut traction strategy of boring A to B OEMs.

By far the simplest way for what you want (which is wheelspin due to power)

Haltech themselves also say it’s not true 

Cool, my info must be off, the guy I was talking to was pretty confident and says he is tight with the owner

Looks like the old race logics one

Pretty cheap, which sort of worries me

I wonder who can wire this puppy up for me?

It is basically the racelogic one that I have, and works really well with minimal f**king around, it doesnt take a lot to get it to function better than you expect.

Anyone can wire it in. As long as you can identify your injector wires, and your ABS/wheel speed wires from the factory car, you can splice this in. It'll work with the factory ECU as well, and by work with I mean entirely independent of, which doesn't cause a problem with the factory ECU, basically.

I can’t find any information about Holley buying haltech 

I just heard about it over on performance forums. The guy who brought it up is a haltech distributor. He said it's been sold to US company race winning brands.

Regarding halaltech

 

Holley did make an offer to buy but haltechs owner knew it would have been the end of haltech and didn't accept their offer. So there was truth in what you heard @mlr

I never did a video on how well mine worked/didn't work as there's enough out there from the various manufacturers.

I can let loose in 1st at 5000+rpm in the wet and the the car just drives straight. It does wiggle a bit relative to how much slip I dial in on the dial.

You would know that letting off otherwise at about 2000rpm results in a hilarious burnout on road tyres, even if you never posted a video of said rubber destructive test.

Caveat to above audacious claim: Mine is configured to kick in at 4kmh, (the nissan sensors don't pick up a reliable speed lower than that on all 4 wheels) so I have to get the car to 4kmh before truly just going flat foot on the accelerator/fully dropping the clutch.

I even only have a 6cyl system, so it can only ever cut 6cyl. I still can barely notice it activate as the car cuts in/out 2-6 of the 8 cyl. Also from testing/setting up, I can tell you a LS does not move under its own power with 2cyl active only, so you don't really need an 8cyl version.

It works great in corners. Pin 1st at 5kmh doing a u-turn and having the car not lose traction is VERY DIFFERENT to what happens with the system off.

Stupid US dollar 

My impulsiveness kicked me in the balls with the current exchange rate, and shipping was exxy for what it was at $107US

Meh, as the cool kids say "Yolo, sent it, hold my beer" or something like that

Sounds like it's doing the job it's designed to do well.

Can you turn it off if you're in Mexico and want to rip a skid?

Sadly my car is non abs. I wonder if it's as simple as retrofitting some speed sensors or if it needs signals from an abs module?

Yes, you can turn it off and rip skids....in Mehiko

Or for heating up tyres at the drags

Have a google, apparently you can fit sensors to anything really, cost to fit said sensors is ????????

There's a dial that has the amount of slip you want (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and off in my case)

So at the turn of a dial near my left knee you can indeed go berzerk.

It just needs access to a speed sensor or something that pulses in time with the wheels and it uses that for it's calculations. Racelogic used to sell a wheel speed sensor kit and a wheel speed sensor version but it was a bit more pricey. I don't think RaceTCS has that but given they label their own item as "Racelogic alternative" I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up soon lol.

Can you shoot me some info about how you wired it into the injectors and abs

My plan is some stranded CAT6 twisted and sheilded for the ABS

How did you/what did you use, to connect into the ABS/injector wiring? Crimps/solder??? Chewing gum???

For the injectors

Option 1: I'm either going to get 9 different coloured 0.75mm stranded wire for the 8 injectors and 1 earths, then make up a harness with corrugated conduit and heat shrink

Option 2: Get 4 x 5 core 0.75 FVV, 2 x 5 core each bank for my injectors in and out (allows me to keep the same colour wire for the cylinder in and out, and the spare for the earth

Any pics or recommendations would be most welcome

I'm looking at option 1, but I may be missing something simple

Now, where or my wiring tools that I last used 22 years ago?????

 

Who am I kidding, Jaycar here I come

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
