Come on, Paul. You know you wanna give up and spend the day just watching and cheering on all us little people in the reserve grades! :D

right...the silver cars diff is in and running...the ecu is in and not running.

the black car is ready but may need to lend the silver one some bits...

up bright and early big day ahead...

Bracket racing..hehe..a few experienced boys at my last bracket meet were put on the trailer early by a novice in a pretty little silver riceburner.

Marks runs were:

10.6

8.1 w/ 1.32sec 60ft

10.7 w/ 1.23 60ft

8.07 @ 171mph w/ 1.25sec 60ft

Had the track have been 10c warmer and the surface prep been better the car would have run a comfortable 7.9 possibly even a high 7.8sec pass.

Videos were taken, im sure they will be posted sometime tomorrow.

good to see mark finally taking some weight out of the car!

a 1.23 sixty with Mark's usual MPH is a 7.8x pass. Car sounded nuts all weekend!

and a 3.3 to the 330 was big too. Unfortunately the track past the 330 was lacking as it was from this point onwards the car was out of shape. Spinning the rears in top gear to 170MPH and no lift off from throttle when we checked the MoTeC data...i don't know if that was brave or silly...but it was worth it.

Big thanks from all the GMS crew to Benm for supplying and operating the recovery vehicle for us all day.

I was going to ask if that was Bens shaggon waggon

its currently doing deliveries in the sydney metro area proudly displaying its Godzilla Motorsport livery.

News on our car...

Got diff in and running friday....put Autronic in and had a few problems getting it running. Finally got it sorted late Saturday afternoon and tuned. The ATTESSA ecu was not recieving the correct signals from the Autronic to run the 4WD. We tried bridging over a TPS signal and lost the bloody tune!! The Autronic went bonkers and took an hour to recover it. Mark retuned the car in about an hour and by midnight had it running and making good power. We again got out the wiring diagrams and found that the earlier bridge we ran was on the wrong pin...bugger. Got the TPS signal to the ATTESSA and the 4WD came alive. However the output was making the TPS ecu input unstable and we decided at 2.30am to pack it up and concentrate our efforts on Marks car. Deciding that running the car while not 100% was not worth risking the chance of damaging it...so yes with only a few hours sleep that night we rocked up and set a new Aussie GTR record.

According to my mate in the white swift who was racing Mark it was forking awesome! He was nearly as excited about the GTR going past him like he was standing still as he was his 12.88.

I'll post the footage tonite. It's pretty funny to see the camera focused on the street-tyred Swift and then this black thing just screams past it out of nowhere taking up all the track and then some as it disappears into the distance.

can you please ring him and thank him, as if it wasnt for him agreeing to the lane swap the 8.0 would not have happened. I was doing 2rismo stlye organising behind the staging lanes as the official behind the tower would not allow us into the lane we wanted.

He mentioned that he'd agreed to swap lanes and I told him that having run an 8.0, Mark would be very appreciative. He's a good guy, young Paulie. He'll be king of the kids in GTi land.

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
