To reply to you duncan, the new intake has to be built and the radiator has to be dropped three inches.

Also i have been waiting for the new balancer and cam gears from the USA

small updates,

finally got my 4inch intake pipe made up, also in the processes of making a box for the airfilter

Also test fitting the new kit

going to run the bn sport kits for drift events (suits the style lol) but will run my nismo bar on time-attack. Will have to make some ducts on the bn bar as the open sections are HUGE! but try some ducts to the brakes

Took the car to the track few weeks ago, did a 59.0 seconds on the short track at Barbagello, was a very interesting drive, running my old tune. was only using the wastegate spring so running 16psi and running the old tune which was 18psi on a 2835pros very very laggy, full boost at 4000rpm and every gear change there was lag, Also my endless pads started to die after the 1st few runs so had to take it easy on the brakes.

However the car was awesome the next day for the drift prac. amazing at the amount of speed i can carry sliding :D

Still got along way to go regarding suspension setup.... Finding it bit hard to get any info in regarding base setup so me and my mate (who is a ferrari mech) have just been playing around with things so far we have gone with 38psi f/r, dampers +8 and rebound +10 front , dampers and rebound +10 rear (from the softest setting). I was happy with this car was very balance good grip. Will need to change things around for drift as the front end is alittle to grippy and pulls the front end into the apex too much.

but overall really happy with how things are going :happy: its great to be able to get back on the track after being away from it for 3 years

fark me you had some pace today, was great to watch.

My shitter at carnell the other week. I was going to go to lakeside but blew it up at QR yesterday.

Maybe we should start a black 180 car club :D

hell yeah, the black 180's were out in force yesterday! shame yours didn't make it. It looks good - the CA front bars are so much tougher (and more practical) than the SR front bar. I have a good stock 110,000km SR20DET blacktop in the shed if you're looking for an engine?

Ahhhhh Harry, I was looking for an SR20 a few weeks back! Pity I didn't know :D

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
