[EDIT] I said pretty much wha SK said above but no where near as good ;) So ill leave it at that.

Plus dont forget it comes down to the drivers ability also.

EG: A friend of mine went to calder and on one night could only muster a 13.4 1/4mile time after 3 or so runs, gave it to his Mechanic with a little bit more experience and reeled off a 12.6 on his 1st pass, thus proving drivers also have alot to do with it.

But going by other figures, times and praise, we all know who is in the lead of this 'race'...

Ok i will just say this.

If i had a Two totally stock GTR's (same model and all things being equal ie same condition, km's ect)

and i gave one stock GTR + $30k to Eric/hypertec

and the other stock GTR + $30k to Ben/Racepace

and i gave the exact same directions to both workshops (how they go about preping the car is up to them), I know who would produce the best results without any question.

Do you Ross? How much work have you personally had done by Eric? In fact, how much work have you had Ben done on your car?? ;)

Yeah but Ferni - your not really comparing apples with apples mate.

The Gibson R32 didn't have an RB31DET in it making 500rwkw's.

And again it's a little hard to compare most Racepace cars with Hypertech cars. From most cars I have seen at Hypertech they have been built to "Targa Spec". Now I doubt there is much hope that the Whites Targa winning GTR would run under 1.20 at Sandown. Benno is well known for his club / street GTR's. I don't know if he's ever tried to get the max out of a car built for Traga Spec and if so how it compares to one of Eric's.

I also don't know if Eric has tried to build a single turbo club track GTR. I really hope to get Eric down to one of our club meetings one night as I'd personally love to hear about the engineering of the Gibson cars. Maybe he can answer some questions on street GTR's there.

tru ben and eric have diffrent backgrounds (street and track) i think eric has a R33 GTR....in the work shop that is his that makes 430kw street spec, twin low mount turbos an still a RB26....do you have to be a member to go to a club meeting? (not a member yet but soon too be

That's a contest on who can buy the parts the cheapest.:(

Hey,

That 430 kw dyno sheet was done on 4wd dyno or 2wd?

And check Ice Performance out, as Leewah said G and Nige'll look after you, Nigel did good job of service my car and dynoing, Nige is top bloke to talk to...

It's your money you choose who to go.

Cheers

I'm not one to argue with SK, but i would of assumed gibsons qualifying full slicks would of been a better tyre than todays semi slicks?

Plus theres the proffesional driver part.

How much did the gibson 32 weigh? even with the extra ballest im guessing less than the racepace GTR...

but point taken about the no limits thing.

SK: what do you have to say about that dyno graph above? :(

I would love to Jack, but this is not the place, nor is there a reason for it.

Eric and Hypertech are being criticized in public where they are not even present or have no chronies pushing their agenda.

We don't want to return the favour and provide the WA folk with all the entertainment, do we...? :(

If someone is geniunely interested in how to read a graph, they can start another thread without any references to the workshop.

This thread is a farkin waste of time lenbac if you want to try hypertech then go for it, so sick of people asking which is better there are only a few good workshops in melb

and both mentioned are on those lists.

I know whewre my car is going once the good motor is built :D

To be honest, I think you get what you pay for unless you are capable of doing it yourself. Now I have joked about paying 30K for a Racepace tune, but on inspecting the receipts it appears I have paid for a Racepace tune and 12K of racepace engine with Argo's.

That's a whole lot of peace of mind and a very good feeling.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
