I'm selling my R32 Nismo Edition GTR and I recieved this hilarious email from some "expert" on eBay of all places, thought I'd share it's a good laugh:

"Sorry mate but you may want to research a bit more before you claim something. Nismo never, ever, built factory r32s. In fact the first GTRs they ever released were R34s(10 of i think) which was not too long ago. They bought second hand r34's and did them up. I'm sorry but a previous owner in japan may have added all nismo items(V-SpecII N1) to the car but they were never released by nismo themselves. V-SpecII N1 models made by nissan used some nismo parts, but yours is not one of those. It doesn't even have brembos or V-Spec wheels. Sorry your number on the firewall does not mean 219 out of 400 either, that is part of your VIN/chassis number. Terribly sorry to disapoint you. Hey at least you didn't try and claim that it is 1 of the 100 australian delivered r32's as i actually own one of those. Good ploy though for trying to sell it. cheers"

My reply:

"You've got NO IDEA what you're on about mate.. quite amusing as you seem to think you're some kind of knowledgeable person. Do you mind if I copy your message and post it in my local club forum? The other members will get a kick out of that.

I especially like the bit about the number on my firewall, you've got no idea what you're talking about... hilarious.

Cheers for the good laugh."

Goodstuff...

this does not make any sense because he totally contradicts himself, first he claims the first gtr's were the r34's and then he goes onto say he owns an australian delivered r32, (unless he's so stupid he doesn't realise 'his' r32 is a gtr) funny though, thanks for posting it!

your tyring to sell a 1990 GTR as a 1991? with genuine 37K? how do you know they are genuine? cause the person that sold it to you said so... hmm $33K for what is a pretty standard 32 GTR. also can you tell me how you fitted your master cylinder inside the clutch? that is a pretty neat trick, if you can show me how it will save me some space in the engine bay. although i guess your car must be pretty special as it has more than 1 timing belt and 'front end' bearings?

Relax dude, so I made a typo re: the "master" cylinder and timing "belt" geez...

I'm relaxed i'm just not a huge bullshit fan. c'mon mate, a car you bought for <$20K is now worth $33K? and please, genuine 37Kms... i just find that it's a bit rich to claim them as genuine without any proof. by all means claim it has 37Kms, but saying they are genuine to me implies you have some proof. also how did you comply a 1991 model under the 15yo rule?

First you're trying to tell me how much I paid for my car (<$20K?!?!?)

How do YOU even pretend to know how much I paid for MY car? Maybe you're a mind reader? And I dont give a rats what you find to be "a bit rich". Believe what you want, I have proof for any genuine buyer who looks at the car.

How come you're asking me how I complied a 1991 model under the 15 year rule? I thought you knew everything about my car?!?! Why don't you tell me how I complied it, maybe you also tell me how much that cost me?

What else can YOU tell me about MY car? This thread keeps getting funnier and funnier!! :D

Seriously but mate, mind your own business and go post in a forum that you may be able to help someone in. That's what these forums are for.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
