Hey Ross good to hear from you.

Great to hear you have the suspension done (my GF won't allow me to spend the money) :-(

Guys as you can see from the President of the Supra club, the Supra boys would love to have a friendly comp, they are not prissy about the possibility of their cars losing, they just want to have some fun. Considering the similarity of the cars and the clubs, it makes perfect sense to do some things together.

How about the following idea for the comp between the clubs. A point system where everyone that attends generates points for their club. The idea of the points is to encourage attendance and having a go. The individual awards would obviously be tied to individual performance:

OK each person attending generates 1 point for their club ie. last = 1 point. 2nd last gets 2 points and so on. So if there was 18 cars attending an event (supra and skylines) the score table would look something like this:

Position 1 Skyline Points 18

“ “ “

Position 16 Supra Points 3

Position 17 Skyline Points 2

(Last) Position 18 Supra Points 1

Outcome: Skyline 20 points Supra 4 points

This encourages the more cars attending the more points the club gets. So even with the extreme power the Supra’s can get the skylines can still win the day. Probably not the individual awards, as that would likely go to the Supra’s.

Same concept with the Drags (Supra boys to organise)

Sounds good.

lol, was actually aimed at Danny 400-500kw Danny in Grey Supra, I have seen it first hand (not on track), but hey, maybe he has improved.

Funny cos im about to drive a JZA80 Supra around Tassie for 6 days, traitor :banana:

Danny as in Mazman, the guy that's been posting here, his car is far from grey, it's black, or Danny as in Sicarious123, he has an aerotop pooh brown coloured Supra. Can't think of a Danny with a grey supra.

In all honesty I just hope that my car makes it through the day without breaking something ;)

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
