I was actually talking about GTS-t's/GT-T's but even still, what are you going to do to go past 175awkw....

Stock box, cooler, Turbo's and ECU are good up to around the 300 mark.

Exhaust is very hard to get one under EPA limit, but just tunning and tweaking ATM making sure it is running nice. But my car isn't setup for drags. It is setup for tarmac/track for cornering :spank:

Doesnt matter. You won’t make 300kws at the wheels with std turbos or ECU, probably even need injectors. The best you will get is about 260kws. Anyway, See you at the track. Be good to have a 260kw GTR at the track again for us RWD folk to chase :P

you're dreaming if you think you can reliably boost a stock gtst turbo to 300rwkw :P

as for exhausts, i know of 2 very quick 500hp GTRs with ultra quiet custom exhausts. RPM for the win. :P

nark, I don't believe I misinterpretted it, he said they were asked to leave quitely, and the ones who didn't were mostly the ones getting pulled over.

Being asked to leave quietly is way above and beyond any duty of care that the owners of the business have, they didn't have to say anything at all.

What's the condition of the road?

Are there lots of nice black tyre marks all over the road?

The announcer SUGGESTED that people leave quietly and people DID leave quietly, they did this because they feared loss of business if the police started defecting left right and centre, not as a favour. There are no marks on the road in front of drag tag, even though it's an industrial area. The people leaving weren't and haven't been doing burnouts.

Just to clarify.

I have been to dragtag on several occasions. The announcers make a point of saying not to rip it up as you leave as it is public road and not the controlled conditions of a concrete walled burnout pad with a safety fence around it.

The dragtag guys are very road safety orientated and want people to get home safely.

99.9% of people do leave quietly, no burnouts, loud music or revving for the sake of it.

I dont say 100% because i dont think that is achievable.

thats pretty harsh...and if thats not labelling you based on the car you were driving I dont know what is. Fair enough if you got a defect if there was a problem, but how can they tell you to never come back to a public place when all you did was get some food??? Not like you were causing havoc

Good point, but to be honest, I´d take the cops advice.

Suppose some shit starts up again, you could get caught up in it, or even get your car stolen if someone needs to get away in a hurry.

Maccas is sh!t anyway. Find another fast food joint. This one is just not worth the hassle.

Yes, it sucks that you´re getting picked on for driving an import in to macdonalds, but it is a macdonalds that has a reputation for all sorts of stupidity for people in fast cars (though the amount of those people who drive imports can be debated). The cops have to be seen to be doing something, so they pick on people at the noble park maccas (Site of the now "infamous Noble Park Riots" -Thanks ACA)

It´s not right that you should have to change the location of your favourite grease fix, but, well, life is like that. You can get Macdonalds most anywhere, but if it is going to cost you $168 a pop, I´d be switching to something else. It could also mean that the next time something starts, your car could get mashed by troublemakers, or mashed by police.

Yes, you could fight it. Scream injustice. Picket and Petition, but really, is it worth it?

Maybe call the Macdonalds Australia line and tell them exactly what happened. Maybe they´ll have a case fro loss of business due to police harrassment, but I doubt the vic cops will worry too much.

Just a question on this...what is the fine for? (in this case $168). In WA if we get pulled over and the gar looked over and yellow stickered (defected) then we have to fix whatever the defect was for, take it over the pits and get the yellow sticker removed. Apart from paying to go over the pits, we dont have to pay anything. There is no fine associated with it.

I hear Noble Park KFC is good!!!!!!!! :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
