Got home to find these on the kitchen table :) They are monsters, bigger than my 6pot AP's on 370mm Rotors. The brembo's are only 4 Pot for 330mm Rotors. Must say these Nascar brakes are gonna suit the 180SX perfectly. They just fit behind my Work S1R's which Is a bonus.

Mackay people! Know that it's a bit of a drive but the dinner and chats are back!

Continuing on from last years very popular dinner and chats, thought that we could kick off this year with dinner and a movie.

Considering that South Bank is cheap on cinema tickets and because they have decent food thought that that would be a good place to go.

Who: People who are interested in Skylines and cars as well as their significant others.

What: Catch Up for dinner and a movie.

Where: Grilled and then South Bank Cineplex

When: Dinner at 7 and then movie around 9:30pm, Friday 11 January, 2013

Why: Because its the first week back at work for a lot of people and we all could do with a break. It's also been a while since we've caught up, so why not!

How: Well, you drive to the car park and park your car, then walk to the restaurant. . alternatively, I'll be heading there straight after work so if anyone wants to catch up prior, we could always do that.

The movie that were planning on seeing is Hitchcock. They haven't released times as yet but they said that there should be a session around 9ish.

So, who's in?

$400 fuel bill, but the movie tickets are cheap :P

I want to take my car to Brisbane one of these days, but will probably do it when there is a proper event on (And not sure when I will get the energy to drive it up there) Track day at Willobank etc would be the go. Maybe there will be a few others from here keen as well, if they ever have cars again......

Appreciate the invite though, shame we are so far away up here in our dark corner of the world :P

There are discussions about a few of us coming up your way. Pm some events that you guys would be interested in coming down for and well see what we can organise.

Also, if its a $400 fuel then you'd want to save as much on the movie ticket as possible right?

Rough estimate on fuel, and yes movie savings would help :)

Events here....... drags, drives or drifts is about the extent of what can be done here

Let me finish my car first and then I'll drive down with you, Callan...

I'm letting you finish it....... are you letting yourself finish it but? :P

I've found some motivation today and put my pistons and rods together, just hanging out for a second person to put the c-clips in. Damn they are little bitches to get in

Why Build an engine when you can take photos of the parts instead :)

Might get keen tomorrow and clean the block and get it ready for pistons and painting.

Yeah drags and the ocassional drift in proserpine is about all you can do in this town.

I'd be up for the drive, won't be for at least 6 months though as i've got time off in March and will be flying down.

Fark that i wouldn't rack up 2000km's to going to a meet, stone chips, tire wear, fuel, will be nearly due for service and spark plugs by the time you get home, trying not to get a speeding ticket. Lucky i don't own my GTR anymore i would be broke lol.

    • 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.
