yeah you want the car on the ground to check alignment. up on stands is no good. obviously you can jack it up to adjust, but must be on flat ground again to re-check.

oh yeah for sure. what i'm getting at is if you would need to roll back (e.g. 10m) then roll forward to allow all the tyres/suspension to 'seat' then check again. right?

How about using a simple clinometer for camber measurement? Autospeed states the ones picture cost $15 from a marine store, you could bolt it to a length along the side and just rest it against your wheel (maybe with a right angle at the bottom to sit it on the ground).

Hows it go on the race track lauren, ours sucks (although we snuck home 3rd behind 2 race cars at the road event the other day). too much understeer

Its fun at motorkhanas though..... http://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/khanazed.wmv

I actually find it a struggle on the tighter motorkhana courses (although you seem to make it look effortless) but the more open courses I seem do quite well in. I've only been participating in motorkhana and circuit for last three months so i still have a LOT to learn. It's a bit of fun anyway it wouldnt be a car i would use if i wanted to be ultra competitive no haha.

Oran Park. 2 sprint races on the sat, and a sprint and a 1hr enduro on the sunday.....hopefully we can last an hour on a tank of fuel this time, last time we had to retired about 4 min from the end

Go the open fuel filler :cool:

paint job looks shmiko on the track, and that balaclarva makes you look very stig like.

Yer just noticed that as well, need to get that looked at. That corner although its doesnt look like it it has about 18 degree of banking have not seen a pic of that corner before, little surprised that the suspension is compressed that far.

heres mine!

spec wise: its got the normal gear power wise 350hp @ 16psi, i've been more focus on suspension and brakes ---> 90% of my suspension arm have been replace with nismo items, got nismo swaybar F&R, aftermarket tierods and castor rods, current has d2 coilovers but waiting for my TEIN RA-spec to arrived (damper and rebound adjustable with 10kg spring rate F&R)... my clutch has just failed so twin plate is on the way, ohh yeah running ap caliper up the front with larger disc.

im pretty much happy with the car atm, just need an lsd and it will be perfect

nothing too special atm, as it was a daily driver but i have since got a nice daily which cost me $20 a week in fuel :thumbsup: so its getting the full track treatment in the near future... cage, stripped inside etc etc

Edited by [Michael]

Ok, so it's not mine, but Jason the owner and I built it, and I get to sit in the silly side :/ No pics of the engine out/suspension etc unfortunately. It's just built to CAMS Tarmac specs. But we wanted a stereo and the aircon still :D

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
