1:08s is getting there. Were you happy with how the car ran? Think you got a feel for whats left inthe car?

And im goign to be giving you a huge points start, as it looks like i will be in Singapore until mid June

I've still got your brake fluid in the car from Sandown. That's my secret. Don't tell anyone though...

Aaron did a 1:02.6 in only 2 sessions, I got a 1:04.5..... Was hoping to get a 1:07, so I'm stoked....

Awesome fun!!! Can't get enough of it......

Bring on PI next month!!!!!

Well done Matt, good to see you car has the GO aswell as the SHOW!!!

Yeah pretty happy with the car, can do some more work on the suspension setup, the problem is I can't safely run more boost with the standard bottom end... there is more left in the car :( i reckon i can do better than 1:08.. I'll be back in October to have another crack.

Jack you kicked arse out there.. sounded tuff!! See you at P.I. B)

Aaron I want your car!!! that thing is nutz. *droool* cheater :D

Well Done to Jack would have gone better dude but you were getting held up in some of the sessions. my dodgey phone watch said you laped 1.05 in the 3rd session.

Sorry we had to leave early but some mates were going out and i wanted to tag along.

Well dont matt car looks mint and sounds awesome, awesome times for a first crack

I've still got your brake fluid in the car from Sandown.  That's my secret.  Don't tell anyone though...

LOL, now i know you are lying...i was actually using that Motul bottle as a hip flask to fool the officials. I will not be held responsible for where you poured my Glenfiddich :P

Way to go Jack whatever happened to you takign it easy? Times suggest you have lost the plot and driving the wheels off the thing :(

Poor odl Chris will have to stick with the DECA days as it seems the power stakes are getting too high for the std turb fellas

FERNI, if you are reading this...you on track with the new engine, or are you giving the car a rest for a while. Semis on you thing will mean you will be stepping up to the plate as well :(

Ppl dont rate Calder, but like it as its good fr really having to get stuck into the brakes and getting the power down.

The times by Matt and Wayne are good for the RWD boys...i just hope i can keep up with the R33 boys. I have a few mods in the pipeline which i hope will make the car quicker, but i still havent got the best out of my existing setup so dont want to throw it on until i get the max out of the car as it stands...so, Matt what power are you running, i need to do some calcs ;)

Troy, I've discovered that my car can do wonderful things when pushed hard without fear!!!!!

On a serious note its just that I have more confidence in the car than I did last year, especially with the RE55's, the more I push it the more it grips!!! Calder was a good test in regards to braking points, I can confirm my slotted rotors are no longer slotted!!! There are also large cracks going from outside to the inner part of the rotor, so basically they are getting thrown out....

I also have an exhaust leak, my car sounds like a tractor, I'm assuming it has a crack in the front pipe, as I'm using standard cast manifolds.....

Oh well, that's motorsport for ya!!! Worth it in the end!!!

Bring on PI!!!!!

JAGR33 one of the standard cast manifolds will have cracked, those things always crack. Would be unlucky if its the front pipe. From what I saw of you and your car things looked to be going well, very impressive to watch!

MSPEC - From what I hear its the stainless manifolds that crack not the cast ones, so I'm assuming its the front pipe coz its stainless..... Thanks for the compliment, ur car sounded pretty horn on the straight!!!! The problems started on my last supersprint...

Roy - looking at getting just new rotors for now, but new brake setup has crossed my mind!!!! Frank had family commitments so couldn't attend, not sure about the deal between Aaron and Snowy??

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
