Thanks Liam :( It's been a lot time in the making, and still a bit more to do, but everything that has been done so far has been to a quality I'm really happy with. I thought if it's going to be gone that long then it had better look like it was time, and money, well spent.

No vids as yet as my POV cam batteries died on the day after a few minutes of each recording... but I'll gt some up after HH this month.

Yep, sold the Clubby and bought the STi about 6 weeks ago. Loving it! Nice choice of ute man, they're fat as and sound great. I was just after something smaller again as the Clubby was a bit big for me and getting on in the km's department, and I didn't require my daily to be my tow car anymore. Great daily though

Yeah its better to do things right the first time, definatley saves money in the long run!

Nice vid, pity the batteries packed it in before you unleashed the beast! POV cams are great, Ive recently bought a Go-pro motorsports cam I dont have the cash to spend on better equipment but maybe later down the track I'll upgrade haha. I'll give it a test run at open praccy at winton this friday.

Sti is another favourite of mine, awesome cars, probably cheaper on the juice aswell!

When are you gonna be hitting the track next?

And just a quick Q for all, where do you guys purchase your semi-slicks from in melbourne??

Cheers

Liam.

I see you were in front of Eddie on the track and and on the time sheet. Well done Chris.

Hey Jay!

Yeah just pipped him! was pretty fun!

Eddie has done a 1.13.9 at wakie in his sprinter, so it gives me a bit more confidence I can go quicker than my 1.15.1 @ wakie!

Ben: Haha Marvin the Marshan has been with the car for 5-6 years now... I was going to take him off but had a bit of an uproar from some mates, so he stays! Maybe I smell? :(

Troy: I just had it hanging near the cage, and I think the MIC volume was way too high (it was on 7). I've experimented with the levels with the rex a bit now, but I think I'll need to tape the mic to the cage to stop it banging around, and turn it down to stop all the distortion when it's on boost. I might locate the mic on the passenger side and keep the window closed, it may have been open as that's how I normally drive.

Liam: Definitely mate, I've had 3 turbo's on this car now, and have spent way too much over the past 6 years chopping and changing. Next outing will be Haunted Hills on the 29th, can't wait for it. It's going back into the workshop for a once over and to fix a few niggles, as well as get a re-tune prior so hopefully it's running really well there. I'm not expecting too much as I'm going to run on old tyres until I'm sure there's no bias issues, but will be awesome regardless. It was even heaps of fun in the Clubbie.

As for tyres, I get them from Protek tyres in Oakleigh. John is a top bloke. If you want Advan's you may want to speak with Traction Tyres, they're really good guys too and very knowlegeable. Good luck on Friday!

Also, here's a vid of a random dyno run on another camera:

nice little vid dane. one small piece of advice. try and mount the camera head up a bit higher if you can so its kind of at what would be head height and angled down a little so then you'll be able to see your footwork and when viewing it it wont feel like you're crouching in the back of the car! :(

sounds wicked too mate.

Thanks Ant :( Coming to HH?

Thanks for the advice Richard. I had it mounted on my cage camera mount, but I might try and shift it up a bit. I've also got a suction cam mount that get's a better angle but as the POV was playing up I didn't get to use it. I'll pop it on for the next event though.

Has anyone else had a stint in the MX5 to see how quick it will go??

Ill swap you cars next time were out. Get you into an overpowered GTR for a few laps.

Haha then you need to get back and keep protecting! That's a shame, hopefully see you there though.

Matt: I think you're right, might be to do with the fact the interior is satin black. I'll see what it look like when I mount it to the window.

Haunted hills! ive seen footage of that track, looks the goods! I'll eventually head up there oneday but really need semi-slicks as road tyres just dont cut it haha. I'll give protek a call and get a price sorted.

I was meant to head to winton today for an open practice (took the day off work) only to find that I had no power to my coilpacks :) so this arvo had to rewire it straight from the battery.. looks pretty ghetto, but it does the job :D . Theres an alfa romeo track day being held this sunday so i might head out and give the ol girl a run (but dont really want to pay $110 to join that club.. :ermm:

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • 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)?
