"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)

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 haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
