I dont blame you, i recently had a problem with my tune which i couldn't afford to fix, so she was pulsing. to which a cop pulled me over and got me with a yellow sticker, for things that have never been targeted before. I was very upset explained i couldn't fix these problems, she continued to tell me "well your just gonna have to sell it then", i looked at her with a dumb look "are you serious with a sticker like that on it i couldnt possibly sell it", she smiled and said "not my problem".

I'm an honest hard working citizen, yet because i drive a GTR around as a daily, its suddenly a crime.

That isn't even the best part, a foolish man in his WRX drove past hi-revving in low gears up to the lights with 50m of us, then proceeded to takeoff going sideways. My brother who was in the passenger seat told me he knew the guy and he has been sticker-ed 3 times. when i told the officer that she replied with "if i hadn't pulled you over i would be dealing with him"

If i could drive my xr6 around the streets i wouldnt be so pissed about these bs brand new commonwhores or falcoons doing burnouts in a packed carpark and getting away with it. although i just dont have the money to fix it, and save my poor GTR for the track. Yet they have the money to waste their "stockies" on the rear on a daily.

The thing that amuses me the most, is how much ALL import owners complain about this shit.

You have seen the amount of people who also own imports who are 'bogans' or just complete dickheads and do the exact same shit that other 'bogans' and complete dickheads do in their v8s. People from both sides of this "fued" I suppose you'd call it, challenge each other or try to provoke stupid acts from each other.

We also all KNOW that owning an import usually brings unwanted attention from the police.

If you can't handle your shit, keep your car to a track or dont own one.

In regards to the above poster, why were you driving it around with known problems?

Sorry slash but you get constant or even mild harrasment by the police or bias attention and see if you may hve the same mind set after or while your going through it plus my main reason I post is because I don't think it's fair when your godly given rights and free choice come under scrutineer in this country and you get targeted because of your free choice of vehicle you choose to drive,it is unjustifiable , a form of harrasment and un australian.There is other problems that hve just labeled the whole import scene as goons hoons and gollywogs etc but why put the whole import scene driver in the whole same bucket?..there can be shit thrown around all day but alot of people know that import driver will get pinged 9 times outa 10 over any other car and there will be a day when imports will be a thing of the past an not seen on roads unsure.gif

It comes from both sides. Having come from driving a VYSII Clubsport, I had to deal with dickheads in V8's and Imports trying to race and on the funnier occasions, V6 with the most mang exhaust and stupid wheels lol, Now I drive a Mazda Bravo TD as my daily, no one tries to race me, I don't even get a second glance in it...

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

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.

      If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.

      Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...

      Right, but I thought the problem has been for a while now that even if you know manifold pressure + throttle position you still have non-linearity and aliasing issues vs actual engine load? One way I can see things simplifying is going DBW, then all air going into the engine is represented by the throttle position. As opposed to a random bimetallic strip vaguely linked to engine temperature opening and closing a shutter or some random power steering air valve suddenly allowing a bunch of bypass air. But the same throttle position/RPM at ~atmospheric MAP in different gears is not guaranteed to be same engine load? Honestly, ITBs are of such dubious value IMO. I don't know why these things are hyped up so much. The main benefit as far as I can tell is you reduce the likelihood of cross-cylinder EGR scavenging with significant cam overlap at idle. I would absolutely run speed density and be done with it if not for this fairly esoteric control problem.

      Alarm/immobiliser recomendations for an R33

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Hah dont worry, my adult brain has this conversation every single day. Dont waste your money, invest more of it into shares, pay down the mortgage. Then the bedtime insta doom scrolling begins and after being bombarded with gtr's my mind is set: im definitely getting one! I have the current model mx5 as the weekender, but i just miss my boost and literally like your username, the sututu's that come with it. I remember with my 2nd supra, as it had twins and vvti, they used to spool real early, like 1,500rpm so you could just be a spooly boy all day long. Some people say they get over it after a while, not me tho.
