Hey guys finally got another car to flog/build. Picked up a early model 180SX off of Rob in Townsville. Goes alright but you know me guys this thing will begin its transformation ASAP, i will be ordering a ship load of parts when i get home next week. Can't wait to hit the prossy track and hang the arse out will be freaking awesome.

Here's some pics:

Might want to rethink the offset, they stick out a bit ;)

Whats everyone up to this long weekend (thats nearly over) anyway?

Now that I have actually got back into photography It'd be good to get a good group together for some photos. Really need to get something happening with the Townsville guys. But they all have unfinished or sold cars. As do quite a few people on here actually...... haha

Think my idea has some problems now that I think about it

I'm working on the car today, need to get this bolt off in my control arm. I also need to get hold of some chassis stands and a heavy duty hydraulic jack does anyone have these i could use for the day?

I think TNT is on this Friday at Palmyra too Cal

Nice man. Do u know a guy that owns a silver commy ute? lowered with 20s?

Saw him driving through fourways last night sounds like he absolutely f**ked his clutch he had hazards on and the engine was making a horrible clunking/ticking sound. Felt sorry for him nearly pulled over.

oh and sean u should buy a jack and stands cos they come in VERY handy, as u will find out

Haha the guy was sitting in his car head in his hands looked shattered so i felt bad. If you send a friend request to http://www.facebook.com/palmyra.dragway they write updates -

Keep Speed off the Streets next Friday night the 15th of June. gates open at 6pm, scrutineering from 6-8pm, racing from 7-10pm. $40 entry (30 for club members), $10 spectator entry.

Yeah i ended up going to Autobarn today and buying 2 stands and a jack for $80 pretty good price.

Test n Tune tonight the track better be f**king sticky i want that god damn 9 sec pass, gonna be running the Micky T's all round.

Also who's up for a drag i will be giving my bro's Navara ST-X 550 a spin diesel power will upset a few V8's i think :action-smiley-069:

Hey everyone done it finally last single digits 9.7 @ 145mph pretty good effort considering the track is no where near in perfect condition was very slippery and was a shit load of due last night. The car is handling the power beautifully and the home made wheel alignment gear is working 100% car drove straight as. Time to bump up the power, get to a decent track low 9's easily possible, chuck all the carbon gear on + more power we will be touching the 8's by jamboree f**k yeah!!!

Got some awesome footage with the 2 go pro's will upload shortly.

    • 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).
