We'll hopefully be racing in the NSW state champs enduro in the last weekend of October at Oran Park.

I don't think there will be as many categories running as usual but should mean lots of track time for us :)

Sorry meant to add congrats on being so close to a full licence- what/where have you been racing (and sorry if that's an ignorant questions, I haven't been on SAU much these days).

Cheers kel, I havent been on sau much lately either. I have been competing in group sa in the historic series, although the car i have been running has just been sold by its owner to make way for an mx5 race car so i might hopefully get a few steers in that or in their mgb race car.... will just have to wait and see. Hopefully i can clear up the end of october but i think im going to struggle as i have a wedding and my gf is heading over seas so im sure ill be in big trouble if im not at the airport saying goodbye!!!!

Will have to get off my ass soon and do my flagging soon so maybe next time!!!!

Oh yeah forgot to say..... been driving a 1959 sunbeam alpine, Its old, underpowered, the suspension is kinda buggered and its had more hits than mike tyson but it still gets round oran short in close to the same times as i can do in my line.... mind you my line is also nudging 20 and still has the origional suspension so thats probably no mean feat!!!!

Its about 2 seconds a lap slower round wakefield, though you feel every bump so it feels like your going faster than you are!!! Lots of fun! :)

what a top way to learn to race....good stuff :) I guess rubbing is considered poor form in historics though?

Yeah its heaps of fun, i have to drive the s$%t out of the old girl to be in contention for a place. They aren't to keen on rubbing panels but it does happen. I had one experience with a porsche at eastern creek which was a bit more than a rub, i was sitting on his bumper ( yes a porche thats worth about 200k being tailgated by an alpine that just sold for 7k) at turn 3 when he decided that he liked the grass better so speared off straight ahead but also made the decision to keep his foot planted harder on the accelerator then come back on and t bone me at somewhere near 100 clicks.... very exciting. i did 3 full spins then ended up facing the right way, he went on to colect the wall over the top of the tunnel on the opposite side of the track that he origionaly left from, i think he was lucky to hit me cause i slowed him down lots and he still hit so i think it would have been hospital time for him otherwise!!!! Apart from that i have so far managed to keep out of trouble..... but i guess with racing its only a matter of time!!!!! It was a real shame to see the old girl get a new home this week but after testing one of the track mx5's at wakefield a few weeks ago im sure it will make a worthy replacement!!!!! :)

haha i always feel a bit ripped off when its not my fault :) sounds like an expensive day out for your porsche buddy.

I remember the saying in the daewoos, when you see someone spinning in front of you, drive straight at them. By the time you get there they will be goooone.

Which I believed until I saw someone nail someone else dead on the drivers door :)

those mx5s make good little race cars, msut drive one one day

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
