lol

why did theo tell you to wake up to yourself?

because your carrying on like your brett stevens?

:D

Its people like theo that make the sport.

Hahaha.... You're a boof head :( If that's what makes the sport, I'm going racing with Duncan and the roundy-roundy boys! Just saying g'day and got told to wake up to myself. Maybe the stress of having the camera in his face all day was too much.

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???

Perhaps you should get back to raping your fist, mate. Mark is a gentleman even though we've had a run in in the past we were talking like old mates on the weekend. Some people are just big enough to get over themselves.

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 :D

Adrian

You're right mate, I'm just glad I didn't have to pull them out.

Qualified 12th. First round eliminations I cut a 'reasonable' light (.115) and punched the brakes through the traps to run a 12.12 @ 96mph. 2nd round went .003 on the tree, 1.668 for the 60' and broke out by a hundredth. (11.940 on an 11.950 dial).

Hey Adrian, I thought it was you that cut the quickest light of the night until the finals. Sorry to take that away from you, it wasn’t my intentions, just did the same things that got the car to the finals, cutting the .402 (or .002) light just sealed the victory in the All Motor class!! Now I'm leading the All Motor class & coming 2nd in the overall championship :D

I’ll be there in Sydney for the final round at Compak Attak in May :(

Was yours the blue 31 that sounded like a monster truck? I hope so, it gave me wood hearing it scream during the burnouts.

I know the R31 your talking about squizz...

It also made me say things like (snap, crackle and pop)

I saw it at jamboree last year... I was a bit worried about the sounds it made until i saw it had consistant times all day...

Likes its burnouts...

yeh no worries, i was just trying to have an internet keyboard fight lol.

my point was you was being arrogant to theo online adrian, i thought it was a bit cowardly.

everyone has their bad day i spose.

for the record i have a couple of friends that tried to talk to you at a sydney drag racing event Paul and you was pretty rude to them and they now think your a dickhead. wether you are or not. same thing ive emaile dyou about a powerfc and you was okay with me.

so it shows everyone has a bad day.

i just didnt like the whole bad sentiment to theo on the forum everyone was portraying...

Well you ignored me Mick, I cried and all. Granted you were talking to someone else about 15 metres away but I still waved and you didn't see me, you cut me deep. :D

Well done Deano, can we have dinner at the Wyong Caltex on the way home again....lol.

Hey Mick...for the record....i have no pit crew....i am my pit crew, and if your mates were put off trying to chat while i was working on a car that wasn't running right and trying to get it to qualify then i apoligise....some people approach for a chat when im busy with the car. I can't give 100% of myself to people when im giving 110% to the car....as you know im not like that, so fair go mate.

Yep, that's my car alright :D Loves the rpm & limiter :D The car sounds very different with the exhaust dropped :woot:

Adrian,

I have just worked out who you are. You were the clown that made the comment that we should put the 20B with the big turbo in the GTR for a power upgrade. Comments like that , you deserve to be told to wake up to yourself. Not only dont' I know you but how many times have you slagged us on the forum about running fast? What about the time you told us to de-stroke it and run a 9 and then you'd be impressed?

And also, Jamboree last year, you were the one to whinge about the seats in other cars not being factory, but totally disregarded the driver's safety. Now that's not comradeship, that's looking after yourself.

Now, as far as you go Paul, how many times did you ring me for information and help and then you ring me and tell me that you've made some huge amount of power and I told you it wasn't right because the mile an hour wasn't there. You told me that "you better bloody believe it". How many times did you ring me at night for information adn help? I was always forthcoming.

And yet, you wonder why people get the $h1ts when guys like yourselves slag other people on these internet forums. At the end of the day, I am in the sport to achieve the best I can and to get as much sponsorship as i can and you guys must remember that I have helped out plenty of people on the forum with cheap parts and free advice and not once have I ever got the $h1ts. I only seem to get the $h1ts when you guys slag at one another on the forums like you have done wiht myself in the past and Mark as well around Jamboree time last year.

I have posted my mobile number many a time for you guys to ring me to sort your problems out, but obviously, you guys aren't man enough to ring. If you don't want ot ring me, send me your mobile number and I'll ring you. I would love to sort these issues out.

EDITED: By Col-GTSX (Removal of swear words) This is a G rated forum theo...

Ladies, ladies please. I know you're all just jealous of the stockness of my car and want my love but please there's plenty to go around...

Seriously now though try and keep it clean in here guys, there's obviously some things that have been said in the past that certain people regard as being unresolved and still feel the need to get off their collective chests.

Everyone has everyone else's numbers now so if there is more to be said take it off the forums please.

Theo...did you not read my first sentence in my post....mate i dont know why you carry on at meets like you do. When i thought i knew you better than that. Your reputation proceeds you but i gave you the benefit of the doubt...i like to make my own judgements with people.

Not slagging anyone off here as you think i am....just calling it how it is. Unfortunately a lot of people think the same, but lick your ass in front of you....You have my number and if you are a big enough man to ring and say "look dude sorry for carrying on like a pork chop" then cool. If not so be it

440awkw, 10.36 and 136MPH stacks up in my books with HKS 2530's.

I made a joke about the turbo being an upgrade. You don't have a sense of humour, that's fine. I don't know the answer to your question, though. Tell me, exactly how many times have I hung shit on you for going fast? That sounds a bit stupid to me. Also, remind me where I told you to de-stroke your motor to impress me?

Sounds like another jibe or joke if I did say it. But there's your innadequate sense of humour acting up again.

Total disregard for the drivers safety? The seats not being the SAME was the problem - wake up to yourself. You had no part in the discussion, you're going off half-cocked about it months later and you have absolutely no idea as to the nature of the issue raised. Mark had a similar issue with Ben Diggles' car on Saturday and it was dealt with in the same way. Having two matching seats is in the rules. Having safe, compliant seats is also in the rules. No reason you don't comply so what's your point? Now it's time for you to wake up, pal. There's no point ringing you. I'm on holidays and don't need you stressing me out. Nothing you can say interests me in the slightest.

Let the ego go mate. Your car is really fast and sounds tough. Just enjoy the racing like the rest of us. You'll live longer.

Adrian

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
