Saluations

AutoSalon, Sydney wasn't as "ricey" as I thought. I thought that it actually improved since last year, still had heaps of bright cars/mega dollar interiors which most people here aren't into, but it had some nice cars too this year...

autosalon was dissapointing some of the cars wernt even washed ,,,, i was only turnd on by the black 34,,, the carbon bonnets ,, the girls,, and one mettalic black r32 with i thought was the best street car in there,,, but my best enginuity award has to go to the barbie boys quad rotor ,,,, even though the car use to be a stat right off 318is

My experience of the AutoSalon....

$2.20 M4 Toll into Homebush, $10 to park my car, then told It would be an hours wait to get into the showroom at the cost of $18, did a U-turn and went straight back home.

I'll try and make it earlier next year I think.

flirt models rock

:P

same cars as last year

a few try hard skylines there

not a good idea to rev your engine excessively with no load!!

some nice s15s and the same lame rotaries as all years - they never change looks

drug money is still flowing well in NSW

onegod did have nice wheels, best car for me, hmmmmmmm

SGT SX

That metallic black Skyline you are referring to belongs to a friend of mine.

He used to have a Supra which he converted to single turbo and got 300kw at the rear wheels. You may have seen it in a few magazines.

Well, the new car is a R32 GTR which he personally flew to Japan to select.

Amongst the goodies, it has a single turbo conversion (T88). It will hit the tracks soon.

I would expect with over 450hp at the wheels, it should easily run 10's

The plates are carried over from the Supra and are "FLYBYE".

Also on display with this car was another GTR "DARDVL" which was dynoed with 440+kw at the wheels.

That would be Tim, hes succeeded in putting together another sweet car. The 32 looks awesome.

Jerrys Maroon 32 looks good also.

I find it funny and amusing at times and shitty too listening to ppl say, hey those cars are all from drug money bla bla bla

Its a good idea to have facts to back up your statements before you post some shit....

There is your groups who i admit have made their money illegitamately, but the majority havent, have you guys ever heard of bank loans, credit cards, working hard saving money.

A lot of ppl can afford to take out loan and pay them off a well as living comfortably, having a well paid job takes care of that, but its annoying to hear ppl generalising and calling ppl drug dealers just becauase themselves cant get off their asses and build a car for themsellves....

Chill Dude. There just reffering to the ones who u can tell that is where they get their money

But dude thats my point, HOW can you tell???

As the saying goes " never judge a book by its coverr"

I have been called DRug dealer, criminal, thief, you nam it i been called it... WHY you ask?? Because im from MIddle eastern Appearance ( im a lebbo) and i drive around hotted up cars... even though i dont drink, smoke, never takin drugs, never been in trouble with the law(except speeding etc), but hey ppl have the right to call me all these names beacuse i decide to spend my money on cars.......

Thats my point, how can you tell???

    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
