its for better weight distribution. we were thinking of putting a VQ35DET engine into the 180sx ute for the same reason... the engine sits further back and the weight is between the wheelbase, which makes it very close to a 50-50 weight distribution.

yep, if i ever roll bowl and as*hole my gts4 it's gettin converted into a gts4 pick up. lol

i'd say you would have to reinforce the rear struts and between the B pillar back down to the strut towers, maybe beef up the folded panel steel rails under the floor pan.

Loved the 32 Ute drifting, it looked awesome. All of them look awesome as utes as a matter of fact...........I can see bogans calling them Rice paddock bashers though lol

Imagine a choice other than a holden or ford fast ute OMG !!!!! another way we can thrash bogans at their own game lol

      I'd need to check my notes at work Duncan, but I'm pretty sure most of that is purely OBD2 on the display. How quickly is it all able to update? Do you have any internet capability in your workshop with a laptop?

      From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.

      Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.
