great day

well done Mark!

I think theo needs to finnaly ditch his tires or hes going to struggle.

my understanding is theos car was making even more power this weekend with the modified t88 38gk. but obviously traction was a problem.

also well done to WILLO R34 GTR now under marks guidance running a new pb. 11.9

gettting there now well done!

Mark what times was Theo doing and did the milenium supra race?

congrats on the 60ft too thats amazing

regretfully the only thing millenium are doing with that car is polishing it.

it dissapoints me to no end to see a car of the callibre being a show pony. sat there all day with the other millenium cars being polished.

Particurly that Millenium was a decent sponsor of the day - and a sponsor of one of the classess...

last time it ran was last years jambo 10.0 @ 155mph i think?

Nice to meet you Adrian, here's a pic Neil grabbed for you...

RE: Driveshafts. Had spares, no compulsion to relieve my car of them however. Can't imagine why...

I've never driven a track that well prepared before. Flat out tore the pinion out of Rob Barac's diff! Now if I can just replicate that .003 light, 1.66 60' and 118.92mph all in one run i'll be stoked!

Thanks for the offer of the shafts though :O

Adrian

adrain i do my shit my way not yours so keep your comments to yourself. had plenty of drive shafts in the truck so what is your problem. If you have a problem with me just ring 0418742486 talk soon

Listen here pal - You don't know me from a bar of soap and I really don't care if I caught you in a foul mood or not but you were a rude prick when I said g'day to you and tried to have a bit of a joke at the start of the day.

I'm in this for the fun and comradeship to be had from drag racing not to be told to wake up to myself by a bad sport.

Thanks for the advice but with the way you carried on on Saturday, I'll say just what I want.

Adrian

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, especially if its first hand experience!!!

Adrian, it would be good to see all those numbers come together, however, this is drag racing and there are so many variables!!!

I will continue to watch with interest. I do have to say that being around the sport since I was 5, the reasons for being in it are purely what you have states already!!!!

But there is a bit of competitiveness but this is never before mateship and fun!!!!

Cheers

Neill

people like to hate the best, theo has been at the top of sport rwd for a while now. we should respect that.

just because mark j is now a fierce competitor it doesnt mean every sheep should follow and join the hate gang.

ive rang theo before and he offered help to me as has mark, i dont know either particurly well.

I'd imagine its probably the way you conduct yourself adrian???

on with the topic - hey GTAUTO - i see you are reading this thread.

saw the R33GTR going well early in the day. sounded and looked awesome.

what times did you come away with?

didnt see you in teh later half of the day was there problems?

We met Adrian last year at Jamboree when he was in a pretty bad mood after circumstances surrounding the event, and he was never un approachable or rude when we saw him at various times during the day.

So I really doubt it was the way Adrian conducted himself..

I crewed for Adrian all day and I'll tell you now his conduct is 100% all day and a pleasure to crew with. Ive been around drag racing for 20+ years and its guys/cars like Adrian/2RISMO that make the sport. :D

Not ever being one to add fuel to the fire....Ive had many a lengthy phone discussion with Theo and he has always been very helpful and friendly with advice etc....but......

Last year at Jambo Theo, i came and introduced myself to you and you were a rude and arrogant prick so ill go along with what has been said here.

Mate a friendly demeanour goes a long way, I may have caught you at a bad moment so i came to your pit later and saw no change in your attitude towards myself and others. I don't know, maybe your personality cannot handle the stress that is competitive racing.

And Mick if its people who carry on like that, that make the sport its not one id like to be a part of. Take Joe Signorelli for example one of the most approachable guys ive ever met. I could go on...Kier Wilson, John Munro, Rob Barac, Mark Jacobsen etc....

For sure-a friendly drag racer is a cool drag racer-another example is Dom Rigoli who had a grin from ear to ear all day and even when he had a few car troubles he would laugh it off and crack jokes about it. ditto Rob Barac who broke on his first run but you would not know it-he was very friendly and couldnt do enough fur us on the day. Same goes for the Hardcore racing boys who lent us a spare full NOS bottle and simple said dont worry bout money yet just go out and cut a PB. This is the reason I'm back in drag racing and no longer in V8 supercar or should that be V8 superstar!!!

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
