I watched some of your vids, it looks like way more fun!

you probably can answer this for me, how to get rid of the slip light coming on? I can turn traction control off but what is the slip light trying to do when it flashes on?

Haha, my slip light is on permanently ;P

They way it works is when traction control is enabled, when it activates to prevent the car spinning the wheels the SLIP light flashes. When you turn traction control off with the switch the TCS OFF light and the SLIP light will stay on.

Some people go to the effort of pulling the light out from behind the dash to stop it coming on. Others wire up little relays to reverse the way the light works. I just haven't bothered to do either lol.

Nistune ecu has arrived, putting on the front pipe and getting rid of the cat tomorrow.

Hopefully get some dyno tuning done next week, just need to select a type of boost controller to use still.

Nice start for your GTT, I enjoy reading the updates/pics.

As for boost controller, if you can get your hands on a greddy profec b or the newer but similar profec type s I would suggest either of those. I had a profec b for years and years very easy to you use with great accuracy.

[vetter2769]

I've got a GFB EBC

[604JD]

Thanks guys, I will likely get that style of boost controller.

Update:

front pipe and test pipe put on today, got the rear diff serviced as well

I thought the car would be a lot louder but its very subtle still, which is great. The turbo spools up way faster then I imagined it would now lol, went through some gas to say the least

[604JD]

Storage has started, but one last trip on the mountain for a good drive.

EBC and tuning won't happen until spring now....in the meantime Im thinking bigger injectors, MAF, and doing a hybrid turbo setup over winter.

Any shops make the hybrid turbo anymore? I couldn't find much when I searched...

[Artic Choc]

looks mint as man keep it up! will be watching to see where you go with it.

[DoseVader]

Any update on what turbo set up you want to run yet?

[Tommy Kaira RL]

Very nice car. Any good part shops in Vancouver i will be over in June and parts maybe cheaper over seas.

[604JD]

Jeez its been a very long time since I updated anything! I have been active with the car, but it didn't seen much driving until these past couple weeks.

Summer has hit us so the car is coming out for a couple months.

Most recently I took off my HKS Hi power Super Silent. I replaced it with a Blitz nur spec exhaust that I was lucky enough to find at auction! The car is so much louder now

As for other changes the boost controller and nistune board get installed in a couple weeks at a local tuning shop.

My wheel setup is changing now, bought some Enkei Nt03-m 18X9.5 +27 offset on all four corners. Will put some 235/40/18 on the fronts, and then 265/35/18 on the rears.

Old Setup, ran 20mm and 25mm hub centric spacers to make these fit and look great.

Quick pics of the new setup, currently 265/35 tires on all the wheels, but they are all toast, getting new rubber next week.

Front:

Whole car....cant see the rear wheel, looks like a spare tire haha

I am not going to upgrade the stock turbo yet, going to push it once the nistune board is in shortly.

[GH05T]

nice choice of wheels.

[604JD]

Getting the Blitz SBC id spec-r boost controller put in next week along with the nistune board. Dyno tuning will follow, hopefully all goes well and nothing blows up ))

[Tommy Kaira RL]

Couod you take me for a spin after that. Ill be in Vancouver for another 3 weeks.

[jake26]

chunky tyres look great!

[604JD]

Nistune went well

Got 258whp and 239wtq but I think that's pushing the stock turbo a bit to much, I believe our peak boost was 13.8 psi

Yesterday I was in 3rd gear with the pedal smashed and around 4,000-4,500rpm there was a sudden loss of power and boost....then it built power again after that a second later. I experienced this on one of our runs after about 3 hours on the dyno. We went to do some road pulls to test the load on the car and it happened, my tuner looked at some values and changed a couple things....and we also had a vacumn line blow off the manifold. Fixed everything and the car ran strong, but still it did the same thing a couple days later now.

Back to the shop tomorrow, going to dial down the boost on the stock turbo a bit and maybe make sure the fuel pump is keeping up etc. Hoepfully get the car back on the dyno and sorted.

[Hadouken]

what spark plugs, coil packs, injectors and fuel pump?

[604JD]

Got splitfire coils, colder plugs.

Stock injectors and fuel pump still.

[Hadouken]

what gap is you spark plugs? Try gapping them down a little and see if that hesitation goes away

[604JD]

Ya i could check the plug gap, but it doesn't really feel like a miss, just a sudden loss of power....and then it starts to make power again.
