You are a twat. What the original poster was asking was the definition of RICE. Why pretend your car is something it is not? Why embarass the owners of the real thing with your poor imitation? If you build a powerful GTST, then have one and be proud of it, don't pretend it is a GTR. That's all there is to it. There is no justification for rice boys. As for me, I am not allowed the drive the car for a number of reasons - and I don't class driving it as important enough to give up my job (which pays me well enough to afford the real thing in the first place). Mario.

Step 1. Sell GTS-T. Step 2. But GTR. Step 3. Enjoy your new car with the knowledge people aren't laughing at you thinking "What a twat" for putting on some guards and a few badges then getting your ass kicked by Commonwhores who will tell all their mates that GTR's are actually quite shit because their Ex-taxi beat it... Easy! Mario.

Hi peoples, I have updated the site and there are quite a few good shots and specs on there - some of the new cars are also up. http://www.exvitermini.com Sorry to all those who emailed me, but I've been a little busy with work of late. Mario.

Only good if you do this to it... http://www.exvitermini.com/ptsv35.htm Mario.

You should be on TV with talent like that - you're talking out of your arse. There is no way in hell anyone could do what you propose. It is impossible to control how much fuel is required for the air that is being ingested without accurately measuring it - if you exceed the voltage ceiling for the AFM's, the tuner has no control over anything at and past that point. As load increase, air ingestion does, so what happens if you tune like you propose and the guy is driving up a steep hill in 5th gear? There is no way in hell the fuel system could put enough fuel (especially in this case with injectors so close to their limit). Infact, the Power FC is usually set to dump fuel when it detects the AFM voltage ceiling; just as it does when it detects what it believes to be knock (>= 60). Mario. [edit: spelling]

1/. Knock is engine and sensor dependant. No one can give you a safe figure, it will all depend on your particular engine and its idiosyncrasies. 2/. Injector duty at 92% means it hit 92% when the engine required 92%. Get larger injectors. 3/. Your AFM's are maxed out. Get larger AFM's - transient spikes? WTF? If the AFM recorded 5.1v (voltage ceiling) it means that more than the maximum amount of air able to be measured was being ingested by the engine - even a spike means that the Power FC didn't know for that period just how much air was present, so the engine would have run lean if the injectors couldn't dump enough to cover it - and which in his case, it couldn't do, as his injectors are reading 92%. Maxed injectors and AFM's is a sure fire way to destroy an engine. My suggestion to the original poster is to upgrade his fuel system and AFM's, or run lower boost until he can do them. Mario.

The JUN plenum is the only one I have seen (and I've seen a lot) that is designed properly - as for the GReddy plenum; it is nothing more than a toy. HKS GT-SS are capable of making around ~350 AWKW, but that's at the extreme end, and Jim obviously tuned your car for reliability and streetability - which sounds like what you'd asked for. HKS GT-RS are capable of somewhere around the ~410 AWKW mark. Note that there are a myriad of variables here, things like cams and their dial-in, valve lift, exhaust manifold design, intercooler, fuel pressure, tyre size and pressure, and much more affect your final power figure, so don't take the above figures as gospel. Mario.

You are the only tool here - for talking about shit you have no understanding of. Were you there when the agreement was made? Were you there when the payment was made? Were you a party to the discussion for the santioning of the fuel? ANDRA made promises (and also charged people) to sanction this fuel. They took money and made promises that they couldn't (or didn't intend) on keeping. ANDRA is quite adept at laying the blame at someone elses feet (in this case, Environment Australia) but the fact remains - they knew what the hell they were doing, they knew what they were promising was not possible - yet they misled people (like us) into paying them what amounted to extortion in order to sanction a fuel for use that they knew wouldn't be worth shit in a little over 6 months. In future, keep your retarded opinions to yourself - twat. Mario.

Not good. ANDRA just ****ed us - again. It appears that the engine parts we have just had made have been rendered useless - because ANDRA made us a promise that they couldn't (or never intended to) keep. It appears that they intend on banning all leaded race fuels as of June this year, so we went through all the hassle of getting the ELF124 sorted, new engine internals designed, only to be told that we probably won't be allowed to use it... So, no idea what is happening now. Welcome to drag racing back in the '50's... Mario.

Ikea: It's all about the Swedish Meatballs, baby... You should have said Hello, I don't bite - well, not normally... Mario.

As per the subject line. The video of the 8.273 run and some new pictures are now up. http://www.exvitermini.com Enjoy! Mario.

Jim at CRD has the proper A'PEXi Power FC Excel writer software. SydneyKid: As to the limitations of the DataLogit system, it is their software, not the PowerFC that is the limiting factor. If you see the Power Excel software, you'd be amazed at what else is accessible in the Power FC. Mario.

There is no debate. AFM is better for a road car, or even a lightly tuned road car. Mario.

Paul, In your avatar I notice that the serial number of your T88-34D looks remarkably familiar... Mario.

This is just what Mine's quote them on their website as, which is incorrect. Infact, the R32 to R34 all had slightly different cam specs. I seem to recall that the early R32 GTR's used more along the lines of 232/228. Mario.
