Oh - and btw - When you've got a really modified motor (like mine), you're right - most of the maps do need to be fiddled with.

Although - most of it you can fix by playing with the air flow trim...

We plugged a wide band lambda sensor into my exhaust and drove my car around for a cpl of hours to get my part throttle stuff nice and lean... 14.0 @ cruise at 60->110. So if I'm not giving it stick, it's still fairly good on the gas.

What's your power delivery like? Have you got a dyno graph at all?

Cheers,

matt

I can tell it you takes a LONG time :)  

I had two PowerFCs, and I copied *ALL* settings from one PowerFC to the other for troubleshooting... I got out the laptop, and fired up Excel :(

I sat there for three hours with my cousin reading out every single point on both ignition and fuel maps, as well as all other settings in the PFC...

I was ready to kill someone after doing that... ARGH!!!

Then I had to plug in the other PowerFC and copy all the data in the spreadsheet into the new PowerFC, which took even longer... About 4 hours....

Worst thing was, that there was nothing wrong with the original PowerFC, so all that was done in vain :)

matlowth (matt1) & whatsisname (matt2), have you guys got webpages up with your mods and photos of your cars? It's good to see other more *properly* modified R33 GTS-ts running around... Pity we all live in different cities! :(

Here's mine: actually I don't want everyone knowing my car... I'll PM you guys the URL

edit: Mine is the white one obviously... Don't mind the GTR badges, they're there to cover screw holes from the previous owner until I can source a new bootlid :)

I must've missed your URL?

No mate I don't have a webpage. I'll get around to setting one up one day.

There's actually quite a few well set up GTS25t's, it's just that most of them you never read/see about.

mightymax,

Sorry to hear of your Microtech woes. Lucky for me I haven't experienced any of your dramas in the months I've been up & running with the LT12.

Sly (Allan),

G'day mate. Yeah sure I'd be happy to go for a drive :D provided it's dry!

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
