@Dose Pipe Sutututu 2 relevant topics-

A)  Buy a new model RS3, amazingly raw, fun car.  Better than that BMW plastic shite.

B)  I see on your I/O report you've got Tacho Signal out.  Does the Haltech convert the signal to the proper signal for the R33 or do you need one of those converter boxes that Haltech sell?

Cheers.

Well if we were not so shit at investing then maybe we could have both... 

Haha yep, buy high sell low right? LOL.

RS4 is great and all, but I have some inner bogan/hoon and like RWD or at the very least a RWD selectable car hence I own a GTS-t shit box. 1st car was Toyota Lexcen aka Commodore VN with Toyota badges lol.. 

I "think" the Haltech outputs direct to the OEM dash without any converter box (factory or aftermarket).

I have been invited to a private track day this month at Luddenham, should be fun :) 

have you driven the track before? its a good fun track, but more orientated to lower HP cars as its pretty tight and short straight

Will be the first time, should be interesting provided I actually go 🥲

I can imagine I wouldn't even need 3rd now with the 8600rpm limiter lol.

Yeah I think I touched on 4th (like top out 3rd, pull 4th, just before braking back to 3rd and turning into turn 1) in my 32 but you have twice the power than me so will make it interesting lol

my first time on the track, just after getting the 32. tyres were 3yr old NT01's, rotors were cactus, pads were street pads.
You can see the vibrations when I hit the brakes lol. After this is when I put new BDA rotors, Hi Temp Brake fluid and Intima type 2 pads. Wow what a difference

Found an hour free from the kid & wife, decided that I needed to have a selectable rev limter for skid pans (which I go here and there).

Knowing a high RPM on a wet skid pan will just result in too much wheel speed, having a selectable mang mang limiter essentially will limit the wheel speed when I'm bashing 2nd gear :) 

1x can button, 4x limiters:

  • 7000 rpm
  • 7500 rpm
  • 8000 rpm
  • 8600 rpm

Sweet, I bet you cant wait.
Got a camera or laptimer or anything like that in the car?
I use Harry's Lap Timer on my iphone and a Ram Mount windscreen suction cup, works well 
Does video with cool data overlay

Kind of can, I have a feeling there will be max level of anxiety on the day lol...

I have a Garmin VIRB which tracks a few data points such as laptime, speed, Gs, etc.

    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
