yeah im not saying I believe it.. just saying we'll see what happens! I dont really care either way as im just another on-looker  :rofl:

If everyone had the same attitude as you did it would make things a lot easier, that is just let the results do the talking when the car is actually finished.

I didnt have to talk about this car when the topic came up but I did solely because I thought sau would be interested in such an ambitious project.

Considering Benny has pulled nearly 500rwkw out of an SR that wasnt even stroked its fair to say that he has the know how how to deliver the goods with a car such as this.

and whats that about eating my words ash? I find that pretty funny coming from someone who compares Racepace(who are an excellent shop no doubt) to Japans finest :headspin:

according to the guys at the workshop it was, but other things have come up too, they have a business to run after all, its not like the car wont be built its just taking longer than expected, as all these big projects tend to

you said why bother with smokey because we have racepace, thats a pretty big statement too ash, in fact its too big

Its not too big at all Sam, its big by you as you have no idea what your on about.

Are you gonna take your car to smokey then??  

I think not

does any Melbourne shop take, for example, an VQ35 and test out nearly every turbo setup on it? both singles and twins? as well as other components including cranks, pistons, rods, gaskets, and everything in between? DO they do this with nearly every engine and every car?

Racepace build amazing cars no doubt, arguably the best in Australia but I highly doubt that they puts as much R&D into every setup possible as Top Secret would, thats why the Japanese are the masters of the game, they put the money into testing different ideas, if they blow an engine or crash a car big deal, their budgets can absorb it quite easily.

and if my car needed a retune and I had the time to take it down to sydney hell yes I would take it down to Smokey

Ash, you really need to need to learn to keep some of your non constructive views and comments to yourself.

Try and keep this thread to your original topic rather than puting down in one thread people who have dedicated their lives to acheiving things that neither you or me will ever achieve.

When you start bagging workshops you bring this forum and club into disrepute. I know for a fact that benny always does good deals for people from this forum and club and and goes out of his way to help out others.

As a rep of this club and this forum your not setting the geatest example.

Think before you brain fart.

    • 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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
