hey guys,

well dyno results from yesterday were good 794ps at 4 wheels!! shows you how happy some dyno's are over here!

had practice today, we had lots of car handling issues , not entirely sure why? we could not get on

the power until the car was completely straight or it would just shoot off the road, just an utter pig to drive. checked the wheel alignment this afternoon when time permitted and we had twelve mm toe out in the front!! we think it may have happened from the way it was tied down in the container for freight, not exactly sure if 4wd is working correctly either and dont have gauges etc here to check that. Mark only managed 1.00.01 sec today but if we get the handling woes sorted out should be another two seconds we think. we would be really great!!

some absolutely awsome cars here my favorite is the m speed gtr, just beautiful, they broke the hollinger today but i think they ran a 54!! the UK guys are here running in our group , not sure how there doing yet, dont think they have cracked the minute mark yet and the blue rex failed the engine today.

just loving it here, fantastic , just really wish the car was performing! hopefully we sorted it out this afternoon as we did alot of work on it to try and fix it but no chance for a test & event starts at 6.00 am.

keep ya's posted

cheers russ

      NC MX5

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
