Yeah the manifold heat sheild is the next thing on the list, its only a little job so will give it a spray. Gonna make up a stainless heat shield one day maybe, but for now a paintjob will do

Fuel hose is up there to, should get off my ass and just go buy some haha. Will probably get a photo of the engine when the suns hitting it tomorrow. The whole bay needs a good clean but it'll get a respray and tidy up sometime next year, just not sure when at the moment

I'll probably not be able to townsville till about the 9th of December, let me know if you want the money for it now or cash when I pick it up

Let me know if thats no good and I'll organise to get it picked up

Palmyra opens for Test and Tune's every second friday night from memory. Had one the friday just gone

And the Airlie thing sounds good, your hotel was sweet lol

Edited by 89CAL

i am hoping palmyra is open good friday so i can have a run against you guys.

that hotel is sweet, wonder if we'll get kicked out this time.

engine is all good to be picked up and paid for then mate.

To easy, I'll be in touch before I head up anyway

So you planning good friday drags here then up to Airlie Saturday? Not a bad idea, I'll see if the calender is up that far in advance

yeah thats the plan so far, hopefully a few more townsville guys come this time.

i am going to start getting prices for accomadation in airlie beach for the easter cruise, just after numbers so i can get a more accurate figure.

so far the plan is to go mackay on good friday and race at palmyra drags if its open, then head to airlie on satday check into hotel, go for a drive get pics then let shenanigans begin.

where i am looking at for accomadation http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/at_Marina_Shores_Home.html

prices off their site http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/check_availability_hotel6.asp?Region=360&Town=Airlie+Beach&hid=9178&numAdults=1&numChildren=0&numRooms=1&roomType=0&lid=1&toPage=all&item=3&tranHost=&tranURL=&selDayStart=7&selMonthStart=4&selYearStart=2012&selDayEnd=9&selMonthEnd=4&selYearEnd=2012

i hope we can get a decent discount for a large group but really $200-$300 for 2 nights is pretty goo in my books. i think it cost me & phil $160ea for the night.

i will start a dedicared thread if get enough interest.

I can't believe this town...

My Mate takes his car into my favorite fabrication shop

- contractor does some work instead of usual staff

- contractor wanker proceeds to bad mouth me even though he's never met me, seen my work, etc. He'd "just heard some things" while pulling himself over the counter

- calls my mate and asks the stupidest question (says the new bovs won't fit because the old one is in the way..?)

- then SNAPS the front grille clean in half, and tries to hide it by "melting" the plastic together with something like a soldering iron.

Grille is $600 unpainted from Nissan.

My mate is f**ken pissed, and I mean really pissed.

Dodgiest flamin mongrel in the world....

If I ever go back to his shop I'll be specifically asking for them to not let this clown near my car.

Mackay is full of dishonest shit stains.

    • 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. 
    • 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).
