Guys,

Its this coming friday :thumbsup:

However....I may be out :(

having steering dramas so Im hoping my car can get booked in early this week.

I *should* be right

fair suk.hope you can make it still chris.

my drain plug is stuck in the box and i am pissed off.last time i put the plug back in i got a bit happy with the loctite and tightening.now i have to wait untill tomorrow to take the car down to a gearbox place.this weekend i was supposed to have it all out and ready to pick up the clutch for install by tomorrow.tho this has stuffed me right up now.i want the plug at least loosened so i can get the blasted thing out.a mechanic has allreeady tried and he said the only other option is to drill or weld a shaft and remove.if i drill then it will prolly mean the box might to come apart because of metal shavings :?

i will still come out to drift the car even if the clutch is slipping a bit.ill get the most out of the clutch ftd :(.then after i will look at getting the clutch in and out.the only thing that will stuff me is clutch kick entry i will have to unsettle the car to initiate drift....eeek..:P.good times.

clutch kick ftw :P

haha

yeah Craig, Im hoping I can get it done before friday

I'll make a few calls tomorrow - and at the same time hopefully someone who does the job, can fit my remaining suspension parts!

go for gold son.haha at your interpretation.

i have been sick the past 2 days so i havnt had any time to get the car looked at.not to fret,like i said i will still come out there to give it a go..but i will have to feel better though.

i hear rain untill fri.show n shine cutting it close again.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
