Spacers on, so much less hover-car-ness

Also some more plasti-dip action (rear gill things)

Also tried my kakimotos on (won't clear brakes without spacers)

Really wish i had a full set :(

(looks high because the suspension hasn't settled, and its pretty high susp too :P)

Have mainly been working on fixing up wiring under the dash, installed gauges, electronic boost controller and removing more sound deadener. Also mounted new wing, and working on front splitter to balance aero :)

Looking good fellas!

I've seen your car out at Shaw(?) a while ago Funz and wondered what was happening with it, good to see you post, you should start a build thread. What's the purpose for the car...sprints, circuit racing?

Before I call an engineer, can anyone tell me if height adjustable/damper adjustable coilovers can be engineered in Tassie and if so what requirements do they need to meet?

I've looked through the Vehicle Standards Bulletin 14 but this only talks about changing from one suspension design to another (i.e. double wishbone to McPhearson strut), there's no mention of specific requirements that a coilover shock must meet.

Looking at BC BR Type RS which don't have pillowball strut tops or adjustable camber plates.

Hmm that's interesting, I was of the impression you could but wasn't certain which is why I was asking. I'm sure I've seen cars advertised saying they are mod plated for coilovers. It might be best to just speak to an engineer, thanks for the input though, I was hoping someone might have been through the process already who could give me a definite answer

For anyone interested, I spoke to an engineer today who said you can get a mod plate for height adjustable coilovers providing they cannot be adjusted below the minimum ground clearance of 100mm.

And just to cover myself....talk to the engineer you plan to use before purchasing new coilovers ;)

Maybe call the guys at Drummond, proper motorsport shock and spring set and aren't designed to be super low. Mine feel light years ahead of the previous Japanese brand coils that were in the GTR.

so over xmas period i had mandatory leave period so decided to have a proper crack at cleaning up and painting the interior and cage. Managed to find paint in a can that was near spot on to the original interior colour which was good, even a green paint that was so close to my cars colour lol

(remember, I'm not a professional painter, it's not the best job but looks 100x better than it used to, and also.. im lazy)

Also gauge wiring is nearly done, only need to wire up the source wiring to the DIN rail to run everything :)

Haven't posted on here in a while, I finally got around to fitting my blast pipes sounds mint again although stupidly loud having no cat/mufflers ect, other than that not much else is new.

thinking of selling my gtr wheels if anyone's interested send me a pm with offers/trades

    • @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.
    • 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.
