Cheers Mike :cheers:

was just great to finally launch the car for the 1st time after 10 months :P

we kept the rev limits low to 7500 to play it safe & boost was only 1.8 bar

60 foots ended up at 1.3 so still another couple of 10ths there but fantastic to see the car back up & running.

it runs straight as you like which really helps confidence in it & just seems like it could take twice the power without any probs.

Just testing testing & more testing now really to get some time in the seat & learn where to save some time & crank the power up slowly

8.5 @ 161mph and still on low boost with no NOS :)

AWESOME to hear, sounds like its going to go VERY fast...

John has asked me to post the following as he's got internet problems at the moment..

Well I have contacted http://www.andra.com.au/ asking for permission to run next year, fingers crossed & if ok will then contact the tracks for permission.

Looking at the dates we have decided to run in BOTH of the Sydney & Perth Summer Nationals so really hope we can run.

Have also sent an e-mail to HTL asking if there is any chance of a joint run - a long shot I know but if you don't ask - lol

God knows if I will get the chance to do this again so worth a go

John.

Thanks guys - well now have approval from Andra to run who have been really really helpful which is great news :rolleyes:

Perth Motorplex have also confirmed they are happy for us to run so only waiting on WSID now & it's all systems go which is amazing :(

We will run in the Super Sedan class when we are over in Aus & for me this is a dream come true - a pile of testing to do here in the UK between now & the end of October & we will bust a gut to see hopefully a 7sec run before the car gets put into a container & shipped.

I can feel a lot of beers coming on in Feb/March 2008 :sorcerer:

;) Each time this is updated, it just gets better and more exciting!!

Well done; awesome run :D

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
