this clearly has the PCOTY-1 plates too :D forgot to mention that LOL

ah yes, well then it is definitely a pic of me on the drag strip :( - ah those were the good old days!

I remember the PCOTY s15 driving around a few years back. and watchin it at AIR.

when they had runs on sundays ? or wednesdays nights ? when anyone could come down and have a run.

well then you were watching me :D

Was always good fun since MattR and Busky2k would take out their S14s and always try to beat me (but never did). Then there were the hardcore Commo boys in their VRs and crap getting absolutely owned by myself and every other import there. I was even demolishing brand new SS Commos and Senators and the like (before the days of Donnon's twin turbo setups) who thought they were the bees knees.

We even had once a private SAU drag strip day with a couple of other small clubs, and had Munro and Keir run their 9 second GTRs. I remember I blew something up on the S15 and put it in the garage, so MattR and I went up in the commentators box and got on the bourbon cans .... was an interesting day of commentating, that is for sure!

Well said. He didn't target anyone in particular, so its ok imho. And I agree 100% with the suicide remark. Point is, if we're going to be sanitizing everything and leaving this forum to only car talk, then we could say that any talk about religion, politics or pregnancy is totally off limit, cause quite frankly I come here for the cars, no other reason. Could care less about anyones personal views on those aforementioned touchy subjects, don't care about religion, or children, or any such thing, and hence I just ignore the things I don't agree with/don't care about. I'm not about to start a fight with anyone, but if someones posting a picture that is clearly meant to be humorous, and you don't think is appropriate, then thats your own personal prerogative. For every one person who takes offence, theres 10 more that are having a belly laugh. If someone gets offended with me or anyone else, PM them directly and we'll either apologise or argue our point. Otherwise we'll be policing stupid arguments and wasting a lot of breath.

Political correctness. Makes me f'ing sick.

-D

Quoted for truth.

yeah im pretty sure if had stockies when it was running ? or something similar.

and If i remember correct there was usually a pretty decent burnout to warmup

those were the days. A nice night watching some nice street cars, having a few drinks or participating.

    • 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

    • 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.
