Getting poncams installed tommorow, and wondering if anyone has or knows of good settings for the rotational idle (haltech) with the same cams or similar spec 260/260 9.15 lift. There’s a few vids on YouTube with the same cams and they sound pretty lumpy for what it is, I just wanna have a muck around with it before the tuner does.

What, you want to make it idle like it's a peripheral port rotary running a Microtech dial-an-ECU back in the early 90s?

Why?

To sound like a legend obviously???

Rotational Idle is used to maintain a normal low idle speed when a fixed larger amount of air is being used for lift-off Anti-Lag purposes, or you just want to sound like a legend when your engine does not perform.

So do you have settings for me ??

You're better off enabling VCT from idle, and putting a timing hole into your zero demand ignition table

That would give you the lumpy idle you want, if you want to exaggerate it even more, reduce the lobe separation angle.

Rotational Idle sounds aids.

Well, no. But, surely you don't need "settings". Surely the tuner knows what he would need to do to make it sound like shit.

I’ll send a vid once it sounds like shit, old timer.

Record one as well from the engine side, so you don't hear the exhaust too clearly.

It sounds terrible, exhaust side it might sound ok.

You're better off closing up the LSA by enabling VCT from idle and/or retarding the exhaust cam then putting in timing step/hole in the zero demand table.

Will do.. I’ve seen a few videos from the front of the engine doesn’t sound bad imo… but I have heard someone with stock neo cams from the front it yeah it sounds like shit.

One would assume the process will still be the same 

Yeah it would but I’m just saying that to everyone saying it would sound like shit with my cams

Looking forward to see what it'll sound like. Don't know anything about it but can appreciate a bit of lumpy idle on the right car. Though to be honest the examples in the video just make it sound a bit broken.

I vote you upload a video of your idle in here for those that haven't heard it before. (For those that haven't heard it, you need to hear it to appreciate how good it sounds)

I hate to disappoint, but my 272 9.30 lift Kelford cams idle butter smooth. I doubt your 260 Poncams will lump, unless idle control gets funny. I also watched the street syndicate video a few days ago that was posted here and he does a decent job of explaining how to set up rotational idle. You should be set.

If I had 292° cams in my car I'd still be trying to tune the idle to be as smooth as possible.

Choppy idle is not "cool". It is an indication that things are not working as well as they could. You can bet your bottom dollar that a race team engineer, running an engine with massive cams, is not trying to tune it to make the idle worse, even if it spends very little operational time at idle.

It's not 1970 any more. We can control this shit better.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
