Shes pretty stock Craig, its a company car after all. Has an STi computer, HKS exhaust, STi springs on the billys and an AVO interwarmer. Will have a custom dump/front pipe and a HKS filter in the factory box, they will arrive at my shop on Tuesday of course. SO yeah, its not that quick especially when compared to the Stagea.

Im coming down to meet up with a mate from Melbourne and attend his fiance's surprise 40th. The wife and kids are coming along. Should arrive in Alice on Monday arvo and then off the next day to the rock for 2 days and then back to Alice for another 2 days and then back to Darwin. Looking forward to it, might see some of you boys and gurls there!

Cheers

Yeah I had a look on the radar and its pretty wet around TC to Alice and beyond. Luckily this wagon doesnt scare me in the wet as it doesnt have a lot of power. I wouldnt mind seeing some rain though, havent seen any since Easter.

Have you been to the Rock before? In the rain it is even more amazing!

My car is so slippery in the rain it's scary, go round a corner at 20 and still slide.....fun though.

Should stay an extra 2 days and come to the drags! only $40 for as many runs as can get..

It is soooooo slippery!!

turned off larapinta onto lydavale doin maybe 15-20 and trying to be cautious, still ended up sliding. If I'm doing say 60 in 4th and accelerate slightly quickly it just spins. I need different tyres for the wet, lucky it doesn't rain much!

Definately! Hope to get both cars out. GT-R is getting some maintenance this week and the Datto is getting a B&M line lock fitted :wacko:

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
