haha I can't take all the credit, I knew he had the Ohlins already :laugh:

Project Mu is an odd name... but they do make a good pad :)

I think it's 33 on Sat with a cool change and around mid-20's on Sunday, so it should be nice at PI with the breeze off the water

Project Mu is not really that odd. The symbol used for friction coefficients is mu - the Greek letter. So calling a brake pad project mu is not reallly that odd. The things you learn.....

ah, sorry you missed him. it's a nuts little car. driving it with all the other group NC cars at wakefield opened my eyes (and filled my dax). then driving it the second time at oran park GP was one of the most enjoyable on track experiences i've had.

Man what a weekend !!! I'm trashed !!

Spencer came up and saw us on Saturday and then I went back to see him another 2 times on Sat & 1 on Sun and he was never with the car !! Some other guy was sitting there in Gulf overalls but no Spence....... and considering when he ran compared to us, we were always getting prepped and I missed every race he was in. :P

Was a great event, took a heap of pics of the GIO GT-R, will get them up in the next few days. Spent ages drooling over that thing :)

Man, where were all you guys ?? We were with the cars all 3 days and almost none of the SAU VIC people came up and introduced themselves :P I saw some sweet 32 GT-R's leaving on Sunday so I knew some of you guys were there but almost nobody stopped in to say Hi.

I wanted to have a chat with you about your 13B datto thebuzz !

Oh well, maybe next year...... and then again, maybe not since we've heard that our group might not be involved in this particular event in the future :P

Was an absoultely awesome day, best motor sport event I've ever been to by far, had a blast!!

I gained a new respect for the 31's. Love the prep work in them, and they sounded fantastic, especially blasting down the straight split by the VL and followed by the JPS M3. Was music to my ears!

Richard, which Alfa was it that you're talking about?

why?

that's a shame. sorry you missed spencer on the sunday. that would have been chris looking after the car probably. damn shame you missed the second race too as 42nd to 7th aint too shabby in 5 laps of PI! We need to get our shit together and mount up the in-car camera.

Did you guys see the carnage of the LJ and Walky? A mess and shame. I haven't read all through so apologies if it's mentioned prior.

That was Norm that got collected from behind in the Walky :nyaanyaa: He was pitting along side us and when he came back he looked pretty gutted ( as you would ) but they reacon they'll get it all fixed up and better than before & she'll be back out racing in no time :nyaanyaa:

As for the LJ....... TBA.....

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
