i know theres a spotted thread... but this just caught me way off guard :(

we were driving down to east bentleigh this afternoon at about 12pm and saw a burgandy R33 GTST with 17inch alloys, exhaust and an unpainted 400R front bar driving down east boundary road.... normally this wouldnt be anything special but when we drove past we looked and i had to do a double take... there were 2 old ladies in it... im taling 50s+

now either this lady is having a bit of a midlife/post midlife crisis or someone lent their car to their mum to take to the boundary hotel for some pokie fun :rofl:

When i first got my 180 i was at a set of traffic light next to this chick in a mr2. She was bout 50. I take off with a bit of a launch and she starts freakin racing meto like 130 hahaha I couldnt believe it. I backed off at bout 130, was a lil bit in front. Anyway tell my mate who works at AVO, as it had a avo sticker on it to find out she is one of the main pplz in the mr2 club of vic. FREAKED ME OUT!!

i saw this champ at Westfield shoppo in donny not long ago get into his 32-t and zoom off. I was sitting there havin a ciggie and admiring this 32 cos i just got my own. I see this old man walk out of the shopping centre and start walking towards its - walking frame and all, at about .5km an hour. I'm thinkin, hell no......about 10 minutes and 10 metres later, *nich-nich* the 32 alram flashes, he gets in and barp barp.....gone.

Sat there like i stunned mullet.

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
