engine finally back together ;) but we found that the manifold is wrap so need to take it off and replace it or machine it, also need to make up a catch can too.

needs a tune asap, stock pfc map, 5000rpm limiter, and used 40L of fuel in 163km lol

where's the fuse box?

Awesome shots, awesome car Chris!

On a side note....

I have been looking around at cars to get into motorsport a bit more.

I have found one....its rego'd in QLD and mod plated there, also cams log booked and road registered.

Its a 1994 mx5 clubman, but my main concern is getting it rego'd in NSW

Is it going to be a hassle to get it rego'd down here?

the mod plates covers the roll cage, seats and harnesess.

I just dont want to sell my 33 and buy this and then not be able to rego it here!

Coming along nicely now...

Rebuilt and painted rear Brembo's, gearbox and 1 pce tailshaft in, trial fitted front CSC's, Engine in for good now...hopefully!

Dane!

I haven't been on sau for a while and i come in here and see some solid progress! :)

it's looking awesome mate, good work for sticking with it, can't wait to see it back out there...

where's the fuse box?

removed it, took out what wasn't needed and used a smaller box and put it directly underneath where it normally is. Did it to create space for the remount oil filter, i/c piping and now have a catch can there

on another note:

finally got the car tune; made an extra 30hp and has responds everywhere now and more torque too but still have an exh manifold leak, so looking at removing the stock manifold and getting a r31 house GTRS manifold

bad news is i won't be able to take the car to the track for another 6months due to a motorbike accident :)

Surprised? :P

Thanks man, not too far off now. I'm entering PI on April 4th... time to get cracking!

Evil: As far as Vic goes, the QLD mod plate means nothing, and rego is like regging any other car so be careful. Not sure on NSW though, best to call the state rego office.

Michael: Awesome looking manifold mate

In theory it's a straight blue slip.

But most blue slip guys wouldn't touch it with the cage and seats. As long as you retain the stock seat belts you'd be ok with the harnesses.

You'll almost certainly be up for engineering costs, or if it's a bolt in cage, return to stock costs and then reinstallation and run the gauntlet of defects.

I would talk to your blue slip guy now, get his opinion on what he will and wont pass as far as mods go, then get as many photos as possible and go see an engineer and get an opinion and costs.

As someone that's done something similar, but no where near as good, I salute you!

That would have taken a lot of time.

On a side note, that's a hell of a lot of wiring that needs to go :D

Yeah how do you know which wire does what? :D

Looks so far Mick!

Well,

After a long time of "umming and ahhing" I have bought a car thats already set up to race!

I pick it up in a couple of weeks because Im going to the US on monday for 2 weeks, but as you can see, skyline is up for sale !

When Im back I'll post photos :)

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
