Stickered up race-looking charcoal R32 on the back of a trailer going down Bayswater Road at about 5:15pm tonight. Plates 'GOZILA' I think? I swear I've seen the exact same one going down there on a trailer before.

Yeah, when I met him, we actually spoke of you lol, he was saying one of his mate used to own a MR2 and is on SAU, and I'm like, I know that kid! lols

Haha :) I know all the local import drivers. Mainly because I go out of my way to talk to them when I see them (Yuri for example).

Spotted R32 GTR in gun metal on wester ring road Greensborough bound after tulla fwy, had 'Edge Motors' or something like that on the back.

Then inbetween Dalton and Plenty saw another gunmetal grey 32 and a yellow R33 with a body kit heading the opposite way.

Oh, and a douche bag in a ford who wouldn't stop hanging out his window >_>

theres a clean silver R32 (gtr i think... hard to see) parked in a carpark in hawthorn behind my worksite... has sau stickers

Hey Ruffels, that's ME!!!! It's my reserved spot, bloody impossible to get a carpark in Hawthorn during the work hours. Next time I get in a bit early and have time, if you see me yell out, I'll have a chat. Oh yeah and it is a GTR VSpecII :devil:

What are you guys building there? Last I heard it was going to be a doctors surgery or something.

it's going to be an optomitrist / eye surgery place... funny because we (tradesman) have been told to keep it a secret, and on the plans its marked as a "gym" just incase people try and find out what its going to be.

    • 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.
