"PS has anyone still not got an engine built nor wired up, tuned or run in?

The HEAT is on! "

very very harsh.

both our cars are turbo naked at the moment, we're in deep shit seems to me...late nights ahead

Hi guys, just lettin you know we've decided to pull out of the Suncoast Classic. :rofl:

We've had a look at some stages, and I honestly reckon that there'll be some carnage. Lots of fast straights into blind, over-crest off camber stuff. Not that it should really pose a problem, but I feel that with only 200 competetive k's, it'll only take one or two stages to be downgraded and we'll lose a good chunk of that.

And Duncan, that new sticker job's lookin fancy mate! ;)

Progress from last night, engine is in the car. but not after a few drama's, many snapped bolts, incorrectly torqued bolts (came down to machine shop incorrectly advising)... swear words aplenty! (this was all after the block had to go back to machine shop for line boreing and crank machining, and after a ring broke fitting and taking 2 days to get replacement!)

Oh and it gets better, a new loom was to go in, but the wrong one was ordered, so its time to play piece the loom back together.

Dump pipe wouldn't bolt up to turbo for some strange reason, still gotta build exhaust, plumb it all up and get it ready for pre-scrutineering on monday!

To further impede us this weekend is thrown out with round one of the Tas Drift series and Round nine of super sedans on saturday, and round 2 of the Tassie Super Sprints sunday.

I see another late night tonight

PS has anyone still not got an engine built nor wired up, tuned or run in?

The HEAT is on! :happy:

Ummm, I need to clean my race boots and polish my helmet still?

I'm staying well away from TYims workshop, picked up some stuff the other day.... they are seriously behind.

The red car of other brand... well if I can just get the thing to boost over one bar... I'll polish it.

Target to have parked by Sunday week ready to roll

TT 984

good to hear others are struggling as well, that makes me feel better....

BTW thats not a sticker that is paint....stickers arrive next week....better:

put the tubros back

put the zorst (and cut to fir a bloody cat)

tune it

before then

What ECU you running in your red traitor car :laugh:

What ECU you running in your red traitor car :laugh:

Went the Autronic path Ben, and really happy with the outcome. Has Autotune, and with no 4wd dynos in Launceston that is a bonus.

And unlike some other high end ecu's it comes with all the fruit...

Anti-Lag, Launch control, boost control are all catered for using oem senors.

Logging and all the other nice things too.

But they just need a bit of caressing to get the boost tables sorted. Will have a break tomorrow & saturday to do a couple of recce days... Finish it off to 90% Sunday then ot to Symmons next week for final high load stuff.

  • 2 weeks later...

Hope all is well with everyone's cars!?

Just dropping in to wish you all the best of luck as I'm heading down to Tassie on Wednesday 11th early, and may not get a chance prior. Wednesday PM I'll be at White Hot in Devenport to say hi to the boys, then start recce Thursday early.

So folks, hope you have a great experience, stay safe, and hope that we ALL see eachother crossing the final finish line with big smiles!

Hope to catch up with you down there. :-D

We finished our recce today, 950k today, 800k sat, 800k fri. Now for the mega fun job of typing it all up.

Our car is getting stickered up this week, and is still missing a gearbox :stupid: , but on a good note, the suspention all finally fixed and aligned properly.

I'm touching wood as I say this, but we're almost sorted. Shtickers and tune still to go.

We'll be in town Sunday if anyone's keen/ has time for a catch up?

Not being a local, some suggestions of the where and when could be good!

Alternatively a mid/post event SAU get together could work? I'm thinking before might be better though?

We did some testing at baskerville on the weekend and ended with some pretty good results, a bit more of a tune required, but a few issues like ABS not working and stuff had us stuffed. hopefully they are fixed.

more importantly is hopefully our log book turns up this week and our CTP extension papers, otherwise we can't run!

a spare $2K wouldn't hurt either.

Prepare for a shock when you get there.... some new bits fitted!!!

We bit the bullet today and dropped the gearbox out of dad's road GT-R. We're still waiting on the new front shaft to arrive. But the car is all tarted up on the outside now, and apparently it looks alright.

well we just finished the tuning on both cars and they are starting the long drive down tomorrow. Apart from a very late change from standard ecu to PFC (about 9pm tonight) everything looks like it will be driving ok.

schtickers still not finished but they are flying down on sunday - our schtickerer bloke fell though so we had to buy a machine yesterday and learn how to use the bloody thing....

Anyway....looks OK for now, so see ya'll down there - we are 832 and 811, you won't miss us

good luck to everyone :pwned:

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
