Think I'm going to have to give PI a miss. Gotta clear a defect, and try get bigger brakes and a rear strut brace in time. Spewing :laugh:

Should be right for Sandown though :D Lucky I'm doing DT otherwise I'm in modified class :D

That's a shame, saw your car at Protek today...

What brakes you upgrading to??

Haha, it's there to get the car ready for a RWC so I can clear a canary.

Most likely get R33 GTS-t rotors and calipers up front, and see how that goes. Hopefully I don't get too much front brake bias. Be good going from single piston to four :D

If my car isn't ready, I'm definately down there to watch anyway :laugh:

haha I already packin' some spares :wub:

The car already has 242rwkw's, just don't use it on the track, so I don't think the jump in power will feel that great to me. My old RX7 was faster I reckon, and a hell of a lot scarier!! :happy:

Want to run around 1.3-1.4bar, but we'll see how it goes. It's a high comp motor (9:1), so we'll see how it reacts. Coils are stock for now.

It's already breaking down a bit at 1.4bar, but we'll give them a clean and see how they go, if not I'll order in some splitfires. I might also put a map in for 100 octane and see how it goes on that.

My other cam gear and timing chain just arrived from japan, so we're set!

Shane: You shouldn't have too big of an issue man. I run S14/32 brakes up front with single pot rears and I don't have an issue. just match your pads well. Once my rear pads went it was REALLY tail happy under brakes, so the rear pads are really important!

RS500: PI can't be your first track day unless you do DT I think.

Troy: It'll be good to see how far the old jigger will go man. I'd be interested to see with my engine too, but I'd rather pull it out and sell it while it's still in good health, and I need a few other leaks, cracked manifold and stuff fixed up at the same time, hence my decision to do it early.

Same turbo for now Troy, but we'll see how it goes. My guess is that it's going to be the limiting factor in what power I produce, but I like the setup so I'm keen to push it as far as I can.

Because it's a high comp setup, I'm hoping the turbo will cope well enough with the boost I plan on running, but we'll see, it's not particularly big...

You guys arent going to know what hit you. Mor eboxes were just delivered to work.... :P

hahaha looks like the challenge is set!

Just need to hire V8 Supercars and learn PI now... :happy:

Details on said boxes??

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
