Wow, its a genuine Prodrive Rally Sport 22B Type R V Spec Racing Edition

Now back ontopic:

Prestige and J-Spec are the more common import agents but with the end of the 15 year rule being announced, you have all but lost your chance at getting a well priced R32 GTR into the country. You will soon be able to import one under the RAWS/SEVS system but the costs will be significantly higher for you due to compliance plate costs

Royalstar: The "has to be stock" rule is already in force. The car has to be 100% standard when complied. If the car has minor mods that are easily removed it is possible to bring the car in, return it to stock for compliance then refit parts

Royalstar: very hard to judge. The number of dead stock (or near stock) R32 GT-Rs of sufficient quality (so you aren't risking being knocked back by the RAWS for a damaged car) is not going to be very big. So you have a much smaller number of cars available, and likely more demand for those cars. Although obviously a flawed formula, supply and demand has some relevance and suggests prices are likely to rise (near) stock R32 GT-Rs in good condition.

A higher initial purchase price means that taxes and duties also cost more (though the drop from 15 to 10 percent duty as of 1 Jan 05 will help).

Finally you have the cost of SEVS. Plate prices will again depend on supply and demand: I imagine they will be about $5000 to start with, and drop to $3000-3500 as more RAWS acquire authorisation for R32 plates.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
