Yeah Jack without the cams, and without spending hours checking every possible timing combination then your really not committed to the cause.

But anyways.... the rain has stopped and I seem to be feeling a lot better today. Lets see if I can't make the shit stop.

:(

I saw your engine yesterday Jack - was looking good. But still had a long way to go. I should get my car back today which I can't wait for. Was speaking to Benno and it seem's you should have about 20rwkw's more than me so it will be fun to see exactly how much difference that makes. On the track the extra lag you have shouldn't be an issue I don't think?

Andrew - you'd be surprised at the amount of lag you'll have now aswell!!! Both turbos are pretty much on par with each other in regards to lag, around 5k rpm full boost.... Cams should bring full boost on a little earlier.....

Well I started a thread last year about it but the answer is still inconclusive as yet. But basically the 32/33 gearbox has a 1:1 ratio in 4th. But the 34 box has its 1:1 in 5th. So I have an "extra" gear in there to play with. So it should be much easier to select a gear in a useable power range thus reducing the effects of lag.

But having said that I havent driven the car with 2nd gear in over 6 months so I may forget I've even got it come tomorrow night! LOL. And Im guessing the 2 hairpins will be 2nd gear corners. But initially I will be trying them in 3rd anyways as my main objective tomorrow night is to come home with a fully functioning car - including gearbox, engine and panels. So if it means a bit of extra lag then so be it. Im not yet ready to test my direct 5th-2nd gear changing skills. I can't afford to break the damn thing again.

Bad news team. I'm unable to tune out the high knock that has developed. I'm pretty sure a dirty load of fuel was the culprit and the fuel system needs attention so clean and new filter plus clean the injectors, so while I should be good to swing by and offer support, i have now withdrawn my entry. I'm not going to compromise a good engine for the sake of a single event.

The O2 sensor gave me an extra 300 rpm at idle for some reason but still have the knock up around 100-140

Now to get the goodies together and get a tune with the lot. Reground GTR cams, 440CC injectors and the Z32 AFM.

Anyone got an early GTR/R33GTSt hand controller they can lend me so I can have more of a play? Time to sort my laptop and get FC datalogit.

My house mate is having a party at my place but its probably to far out of the way for most of you. I'm in parkdale. Also ferni you can borrow the digi display if I can get it in time. If somebody has a laptop we could data log if somebody can get the program to work. Had it working the other day with a mates one on the home computer and a cable through the window.

I have a laptop and am bringing it to access the laptimes over wireless, your welcome to use it to log some data as well if you like

do you have the serial cable? what serial cable do you need? female to female 9pin?

Anyone from the S.E Suburbs want to meet up to cruise to this together this arvo? (mainly because i suck with directions and will probably get lost :) )

its easy. Just get on the Calder Fwy and start driving until you see the Thunderdome. :)

I think it was a good day out, .....well this is coming from someone who didn't participate but we still enjoyed ourselves, especially watching Troy who got sideways on the 3rd and second to last corners a few times, Andrew with his 34 for obvious reasons, ferni who spun once or twice, and that guy in grey 32 with the RB26 who looked at one stage like he was going to run into the back of Rianto whilst braking for the 3rd to last corner- front left locked up it looked like :D....

I got heaps of photos but can't really be fu(ked putting them all up.... if any of you guys want a few just give me your email addy....

    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I dried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4     I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the casing. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I overcome one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
