So I got the head unit all installed this weekend:

Wireless CarPlay is the goods! I just need to wire up the reversing camera and the reverse input. I tidied

All weekend I have tried calibrating both the fuel level sender (in the IC7) and the vehicle speed (through the ECU), with no luck. The vehicle speed issue means I can’t test out the cruise control…

Took the car today to its first track outing.. drove to and from the track (about 45mins each way) and gave it a good thrash on the track. The event was a powercruise type event, so got to race agains

Final result: I mean, I’m sure it could be better but I’m pretty stoked with the outcome!

heads up for the cert, when i did mine, i had to have two loops due to how and where the center hanger was.

 

great work on the car, looking and sounding good. and solid power :)

Thanks! 

Funny that. My cert guy was the one who said I needed 1… let’s see what happens.

If he said you only need 1, you should be OK. But officially it's 2 on a 2 piece driveshaft.

There was some talk they were going to relax the rule a bit. Maybe it's starting to happen.

I certed my 30 conversion before the hoop rules came in, but want to do brakes which will trigger a re-cert. I'm hoping to squeak through

Try this setting, the out of the box Haltech value is much higher and reads weird

Also if you're running the latest version of the firmware, there's a known bug with VSS doing a few thousand km/h lol

Yes, I did have the latest firmware, so I think that’s the issue! Also, no more haltech forum?? I joined that FB page too..

the fuel sensor issue on the IC7 also seems to be firmware related. For some reason the software isn’t updating it with the latest firmware…

What the heck? Did they completely axe the forums and all content? Intentionally? This blows my mind. If it was intentional it seems so incredibly misguided I can't even comprehend it.

It appears so!! I solved a lot of problems just searching on there..

Hopefully easy fix!

And yeah, a bit sad they removed the forum. Facebook is a bit shit, same questions get asked every week.

Fixed the speedo issue. Funnily enough, my settings were around 5221 pulses/km and I think that was calibrated at 30km/hr. Verified the speed with a shitty app that lagged heaps, so probably wrong still haha but at least I’m not doing Mach 2 anymore.

played with the idle a bit, as the tuner had it set at 900. The DBW makes this super easy and super stable! I backed it down to about 750/800rpm and it’s rock solid!

just need to figure out the fuel gauge next!

As part of my cert tomorrow, I had to update the HICAS lock bar, as there is some picky rules re. bars with welds. This is why I bought the PRP bar, it’s billet with no welds..

The bar itself is great but I feel there has been little thought on the actual application. I had to cut 10mm off the thread on the arms to get the toe adjustment anywhere near right. They say they are bringing out new arms for it but who knows Wel hen that’s happening.. I should have gone with a gktech full delete kit.

You should have just run a non hicas r200 frame and arms and knuckles to suit, way less stress and it’s a way cleaner look under the back

Yeah, I will investigate this.

also, I will be getting a flex fuel sensor, so I will be getting me some of that ethanol you linked! Cheers!

So the car failed the cert, however on really minor stuff:

  • Exhaust is 1.9 decibels too loud (was 91.9db at 3200rpm and needs to be 90)- im just going to put a restriction in the exhaust to get a pass. i may quit down the exhaust long term, just want to get a good feel for it first..
  • I need to put a cover over the fuel top hat (factory one doesn't fit because of FPG top hat). ill just have to modify the factory one to suit.
  • no airbag diagnostic light on the dash (as i now have the IC-7). i wish the IC-7 had more customisation here with different logos etc. but nope. I have ordered a little airbag logo light that i will install on the dash.

I should have this remedied next week and finally be legally back on the road.

Congrats!

How does it feel on the street?

Really good! The turbo whistle is much louder than I thought it would be. It’s so much rougher than I remember lol. Spending too much time driving the smooth Skoda with heated steering wheel and seats, 360deg camera etc..

I just need to do a road tune to get it 100% perfect

I totally get this, with the MK2 Tiguan.

Get into the R33 and it feels like a croc of shit.

Best thing is the wireless CarPlay head unit! I just need to get an amp and speakers.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      While going through data logs late last week, I spotted a small issue with my WMI. My WMI starts to progressively inject at 11psi of boost. I'm using a 25psi cut in pressure switch on my WMI as an added safety and if the curve is linear, I should hit that 25psi on my WMI system around 13-14psi of boost.  As per my data logs, my WMI pressure switch only activates around 19psi of boost. This is causing my non WMI 4D map to trim for WMI. I'm presuming this is caused by the mechanical switch response time, injection curve not being linear or both.  I ordered a 2-10psi adjustable cut in pressure switch which should correct this. If this doesn't resolve it before my dyno appointment on Friday, I'll just remove the pressure switch temporarily and more than likely replace it with a pressure transmitter afterwards.    BTW Speedtek has yet to refund me.
