Back from the World Superbikes at Phillip Island. Got back home at 3am this morning ... still feeling the big weekend. Working from 6.00am thru to 6.00pm. Got positioned at turn 1 for "recovery" (of crashed bikes and riders). Did anyone watch the National Supers race and see the 3 bike pile up into turn 1? I was there. 3 riders down, 2 out cold and 1 very pissed off. Good thing it was on the last lap, so the race had ended anyway. Took a while to clean that one up. Biggest highlight of the working weekend.

Biggest highlight of the non-working moments was the big FAIL to Vic police who capsicum sprayed half the pub when a fight broke out. That shit is nasty :P

Anyway, might go to bed again and catch up on more sleep :P

BTW the rear tyre on the Brutale got trashed :P

hahaha thats funny as about the gtr stuff.......

thank god i own a non turbo tho :P so much easier but i must admit there was a dude in the N/A... section who said his car was non turbo but he had the Red/White GT Badges and on the rear bar he had a GTT badge..... i have to admit it was quite confusing until he said that the car had a non turbo engine put in it before he brought it. nfi why tho.

Went down to Michaels new shop Carline today. I recommend him, he did my exhaust at Aussies and really knows his shit. Plus he had a few 2jz's laying around, asked if I wanted to throw one in... Has really got me thinking..

ive only rally found the Do Luck ones and the ones that Viva Garage have got...........just spewin that i wont be able to fit GTR fenders on unless i change the bonnet and front bar :P

why does life have to be soo cruel in that way? :P

yeah gtr guards are basically for gtr front end conversion, unless you spend a mint getting them moulded onto standard fronts.

i want something a little wider with a vent, i love the look of the vent.

im not worried about spending the extra money on fitment cause the car will be going in for a full respray next year and ill get them put on when that is getting done....

krishey - u gonna come to loxton for dinner are you??? :P

and nah muirsky not getting new rims - i got them last year lol im really happy with the 19's anyway they look really good especially with this years graphics design :P

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
