Had them done after I got the car,

chuck Taran a PM, he did them for me, I assume he still has all the information as they had to be made up off pics and measurements i took. If not I can have a look for his email.

Got some Gaskets in friday, and some nice gold engine paint to match the wheels :D Though now im starting to think about getting some red paint and doing the calipers aswell

car finally arrived in perth, after much hassle. id recommend to stay clear of Moving cars/CEVA (TNT) when transporting cars. my car arrived in perth only to be accidently sent back to Adelaide. No reason given. Once it finally arrived they drove they car from the yard out to me, it idled for 2 min max and ran out of fuel. Its a condition of transport that your car has 1/4 tank of a fuel. f**k knows where the 1/4 tank went. was offered no fuel or compensation. treated pretty rudely and was denied the contact details of any managers to speak to.

either way

put the car on dyno just to check afrs, lucky i did cos it runs very lean once on boost.

run was stoped at 6500 rpm due to afrs, but managed 301 rwhp at 14 psi. reving to 8200 limit surely gain a few more ponies especially with 292 cams.

im confident itll get 400+ rwhp once it gets a safer tune and some boost into her

car i in better condition then i had thought, and has had outragous amounts of money spent on it

Dude this car is in Perth now :P I gotta come have a look see for myself. What are your plans for it?? road regoed? motorsports? Good to see another DR in Perth, especially one of this calibre. I like the black bottom half pic too.

yer will be road regod, no motor sport

just fast streeter, see what itll do at drags and maybe take to track day to kill some tyres legally

engine is real noisey, like every fj. But with the cams it almost has a rotory engine note at idle.

it drives nice, isnt powerful down low but deff not doughie

at around 4k even off boost u can feel car surging fwd, once turbo is on song car just flys. revs up so fast on street. 2nd gear is completely useless even on 255 R comps.

i havent taken any corners yet with any kind of throttle so i got no idea of how it handles in that regaurds

hee hee, yeh when I first drove my DR with 330hpatw on tap it certainly made the old freckle pukker up a bit and yeh I have 225 rubber on the rear as well and even in 3rd they light up pretty easy. Haven't been up to it's tuned 19psi/355atw yet, would be fairly interesting I would imagine. As far as corners are concerned I have found that on boost sideways is the best way around :D

Hey Ross

Nice ride did you have much trouble with WA rego? I'm keen for any updates on this beast as I've just aquired IronmaskedDR30's DR and in the process of building a motor for it the ex race motor from Mark Alford's sunny. Can't wait to get this baby running.

I've been for run in mine with previous owner :woot: very street drivable until you mash the throttle :) and we had slight 3rd gear traction issues :lol:

Deza

I heard this car was sold back to QLD and a fuel can placed in the boot.

It moved and shorted out the battery....KABOOM one dead DR.

Hope that's not the case :P

definately went back over east.. i was looking at buying it

hopefully the kaboom part isnt true though :D

the engine bay in that thing was unreal, definately had alot of time and money spent on it, and hearing the idle of the 292's was porn!

Ahoy all.

Yes its true, i bought the dr, and it now resides in qld. There was a fire in the boot during transport, however is now all fixed. Car is now 2 tone blue/gun metal grey. Just retrimming the interior at the moment.Brakes have been upgraded to 4 pot calipers at the front, however i would like to change these to larger units if i can find something suitable., Hydraulic handbrake fitted,and a lot more work gone into the engine bay. Bellhousing has been replaced with a one off dellow unit as the one it had was not quite right, and a beefier clutch is being sussed (adequate at the moment, but not for long) New fuel system (existing system was going to be inadequate for the levels of boost i am planning to run), and water meth injection also with the aim of 35psi boost. Hope to have some pictures up soon. By the way i am chasing a couple of excellent condition trim parts for the car, chrome front door trims (the ones that sit atop the door at the bottom of the window), the chrome trims that sit around the rear side windows, and the side r/h rear skirt that sits behind the rear wheel and runs to the rear bumper. The ones i have are ok, but would like some mint ones to really finish it off. Cheers all.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
