Hi guys, couldn't wait to get out on the track again. GT-R is in the workshop getting an engine rebuild so I took my sisters little MR2 Spyder out for a spin at Wakefield.

I just bought a video camera and manfrotto suction mount (find them in a Ted's pro camera shop for under $200) worked a treat!

I've compressed it to keep it small (only 6mb). Hope you like it!

PS: A lot of fun. I only brake 3 times in one lap (turn 2, hairpin + last corner) and the rest is throttle control. It's very different to driving a GT-R that's for sure, more on the limit, more desperate, much harder to overtake but a lot of fun catching faster cars in the corners. Wouldn't trade my GT-R for it though but still... I was impressed with it... all stock too (sussy and tyres were stock).

Nice movie mate.... that car can stick to the road pretty well......

my wakefield experiences are always good......... brake early... good line.... apex... power out of corner... DOOOOOOOOORRRIIIFFFTTTOOOOOOOOOOOO........

i was a bit excited on my first lap ever there on the horseshoe and it was either run off the road or rev it.. dump it and drift....... gotta go again :P

shit man thats some nice driving!

are those cars turbo? actually sounds alright

what'd your sister think of her car coppin a bit of a workout? lol

and i love the laugh after you pass the 2 guys and get on the straight. lol

Haha yeah my sister was AOK about me taking her car out on the track, she wanted to come actually but didn't make it on the day and far out that liyyle laugh I do... wasn't the only one on the day that's for sure... since it was just us on the track (only about 10 of us in our group) and we all knew each other it was a lot more fun... like playing GT4!

The car is dead stock, no turbo, 1.8 and very soft and tall springs but because it's so light and has such awesome turn-in it wasn't so mich of a problem although hav ing said that... if it had coilovers and semis it would be a very very fast car around Wakefield.

I only managed 1.20 in the little MR2.

Can't wait to get the GT-R out there when it's done. I'm sure the in car camera video will be a lot more exciting! ^_^

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
