Oh...

I need pictures and a full explination... Col runs to call Josh...

I’ll edit the movie of the chaz getting pulled out, but yeah we went down the f**king cliff!! Very lucky we didn’t go off a straight drop off, or roll on the roof ect ect.

In fact, within 2 meters of were we came off and stopped, it was a 600+ drop off.. Scary stuff. So much could have gone wrong, and for what ever reason we ended up walking out.. And doing a mission up this hill.

Basically it’s one of the more serious roads we have.. It had wet spots, came in too hard, and it was pretty much over.

I know Flaxton & Montville quite well...

You are very lucky some of those drop offs are HUGE...

Plus with no barrier is most areas makes it even more dangerous...

Lucky!!!

Some of those corners in the 80 zone have a suggested speed of 60 and they should be more like 30... Quite a dangerous road really...

sounds lik eyou ave created a monster there col :happy:

Oh yeah I have a smile from ear to ear, It is going to go "HARD"

Ive just got a little work to do before driving it (on old fuel maps, throughing fuel out the back in huge black clouds :ninja:) but its Nays Birthday today so im banned from the Garage for today...

and good to hear your car's running col,

Yeah im quite supprised it started straight away and idled quite well...

I had to rebuild the CAS with new bearings and make a jig to break open the sealed unit, I was told to buy a referb unit and forget trying to replace the bearings but Nays dad got to work on it and 2 hours later after much head scratching it had new bearings in it...

So yeah i was quite supprised as to how well it ran after not being started in almost 2 months and with half an engine rebuild...

Yeah im considering buying the .63 and bolting it up as im worried im only gonna make boost at like 4500rpm with the 0.82 with out cams, but i have advanced the exhaust cam with a cam gear to help hit it a bit sooner...

Free reving in the drive way up to 5000rpm last night got me 1.3psi so ill wait til its on the dyno before i run out and order the smaller housing... :happy:

Im in the hunt for an oil cooler at the moment as im gonna need it i reckon...

One of my mates has a .63 on his car and he gets full boost at 3700rpm but when it hits it is really hard to get the power down. .82 might be the best compromise I think! But it will be interesting to see thats for sure

You could use an SBC ID -III like mine and stage the boost...

So its like 12psi at 3700rpm and then it ramps up toe 18psi at say 4500rpm...

So set the gain really low so it ramps up to 18psi over a 400-500rpm gap...

That matt black RX7 looks like a chalk board... silly imo.

The blue is nice, but doesn't really suit a R32 GTR :happy:

lol Charade crashing... as if go on a mountain run in a charade... or anything FWD for that matter... understeer = death on the mountain!

fwd can be just as good as rwd if set up properly, u can over steer in a rwd and do the same quite easily.

Couldnt belive that ian did a front wheel skid the other day. we were like WTF! this is AWD......then we reallised it was because his handbrake locked up the rear wheels.....lmao!

You could use an SBC ID -III like mine and stage the boost...

Hey how is that? Does it seem to work well?

When I was buying andy's last year, he had the choice between the profec b spec 2 or the sbc i-color. Personally, I would've chosen the i-color :) - he was just thinking of my bank balance :P

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
