oh nice well here in mount gambier we have commodore after commodore after commodore its stupid, two mate got there cars inpounded today a onevia and s15 for a small slide lol

yesterday we went out into the pines and sliding on dirt road it so fun

  • 2 weeks later...

Pretty quiet in here, has every ones cars died ? The blue R32 is still a few weeks off dammit! The new bottom end build has turned into complete new long motor build including nitto oil pump, trust sump, $1700 tomei valve springs, new valves, custom head oil drain setup and T51 turbo rebuild. Just the cams will be left from the old engine. What a head fcuk !

32GTR has been in the shed since the last bracket race. Like most gt-r owners I am spending more time and money working on it than driving it.

Also buying 2 more commodores has distracted me again and getting ready for speedway season.

Few things to sort out but I will be racing saturday. So far have fitted HKS oil cooler & DLI, Koyo radiator & silicon hoses, Kics r40 open nuts, Cusco plate relocate and Nissan oem radiator rubbers, gearbox boot & bush, coilpack loom, exhaust bracket etc. Have already removed my a/c foward of the firewall and plenty more is going to get pulled. Still got rego & other bits to fit but running out of time. I will just be out for burnouts and fun on sat.

Next year I will be buying more M/T's, stripping more weight and then probably cage time. Hopefully 10's on a budget or bust!!!

GTR and budget in the same sentence, good on ya ozzie. Then what - 10.9s or so, what then you'll need to jump in the deep end like me to go significantly faster and reliably. Your stock bottom end ain't gonna last forever, (or your box). What times it on tommorrow ? I might think about trying to get the R33 down 11.5 or better. Give me a ring tomorrow gaylord, I'm going to the cas now to try and win some R32 funds !

You know I only enjoy taking your sweet arse on the track honey :(

I will be doing my usual last minute slap together, got to buy a smaller battery because of the oil cooler. Probably head down around 1-2, racing starts at 3. Burnouts and 11.4 again or quicker on my 'budget' chinese tyres.

was a good meeting overall i think, finally got to get my car out for a meeting. ran a best of 13.099 which is pretty good i think since its only running a mailtune and only on wastegate pressure.

I didnt have any major problems out there except on the way back into town when my gearbox started to whine. will be looking for a replacement now. i didnt think it was going to hang on for long seeing as it was already crunching second and third before i went out lol

Meeting worked out well. Had the normal couple of glitches to start but things happened after the sun was going down. I ran a new PB of 12.05 @ 122mph still on regular street tyres. Congrats to Cam for the times he was firing out. Carmelo did a good job shaving a second off the mazda's times. Ryan with the capella blew his gearbox, and Benny got himself some time slips too.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
