Yes I am.

I had decided to go nitto invo, called up earlier to make sure they had stock and they dont :( they have offered me yokohama advan sport v103 for $210ea which I think is pretty reasonable. So unless someone has had a bad experience and can tell me to stay away that's what I will be going with

Did you try St George Tyres for the invo's?

They are listed on FleaBay now so hopefully have stock. Cheaper on their web site though, showing the 245/45/18's at $175 each (bargain!).

Like the Dunlops Dale mentioned, they too can be rotated onto any corner which is great for wear.

I found it easier to install by flipping the car upside down. No idea why the picture is upside down. Shows up the right way on my phone and everything else

Gave them a call they do have stock. $185 fitted and balanced. Might give them a go then

How do you find the throttle cable. Have you had any ecu issues following this mod. This is one mod I would like to achieve next

Josh is running a full "Wire in" Adaptronic ECU now; This would be near on impossible on an OEM ECU.

I'd rather see Adaptronic support the OEM throttle, so it can be made to operate in a completely linear fashion (what you ask for at the pedal; you get at the TB).

Then it will be a complete solution.

As dale said you will need a full after market ecu. There has been no issues as yet. Quite a fan of it. The only negative some people may have is that the gear uses the throttle through the standard ecu to control it. What this means is that in auto mode it uses speed to change gears rather then throttle and engine. The positive side though is that it doesn't hunt around for gears on the freeway etc which I love. Also with my combination it shift faster then if does normally. Manually the car drives heaps better.

So will it actually kick down in auto at all?

Are Adaptronic interested in properly integrating the OEM throttle, or have they not been approached about it?

It will kick down via manual mode, or as if goes down to lower speeds it changes down automatically.

Craigs was tuned using the standard throttle

First impressions? I guess you haven't had much of a chance to try them out properly.

Yeah I haven't been for a proper drive yet. And had wheels in the back I didn't want flying around the car. But I can say they feel super smooth and are very quiet.

Hopefully get to drive it a but more tomorrow. The big test will be launches at the track on Wednesday

well the first night at the drags since being tuned wasn't a success, but i thought i would post a video here anyway.

the car had two issues, one that it wouldnt build boost on the line and second was hte gear box was over heating (tranny cooler will be fitted very soon) so it was changing up gear by itself and not holding in third like i told it to.

Best time 13.8 170km/h

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
