chop chop mr 6l space frame ;)

Great write up :banana:

Peeved that I could only stay an hour or so, as I had a whole list of things to do before flying off to Singapore the next day :banana:

Is this how you kept the black stuff in Jess's car when you stole her sump plug????? :);):D

lol luckily the sump plug as at home near by.

But history has shown that yiou shouldn't bring a gtr if you are coming to watch me race lol.

right richard? and the poor old stagea lost a few bits too.....most troubling is that caster rods are the same between stagea and 32 gtr....

My engine has been out of the car for awhile so we had the sump plug laying around doing nothing :) It's now been put to good use..

We just turned up as you left would of been nice to finally meet you!! Next time perhaps ;)

Cant wait to see the adventures for EC this weekend with Neil!! :P

Cant wait to see the adventures for EC this weekend with Neil!! :)

Jess,,,16 degrees,,,windy and rain is the weather report,,,I have new tyres and brakes to bed in and can't see any of that happening.

Wets are already on the car.

I'm a little pissed off and nervous at the moment,,,E/C is my fav track and looks like I could be a spectator for most of the day.

Duncan,,,have you any idea how many people have seen that great pic of your brakes,,,One of my customers sent it to me for f**ksake.

I'm happy we have actually found a pad that can handle your abusive feet.

Everybody thats looked at that pic thinks theres something wrong with your brakes.,,,Only a couple of race heads thought it was close to normal.

We can improve them more,,,the thought doctor is in my head.

Neil.

Can't believe I missed this event, looks like so much fun. A couple of questions Duncan:

How many laps was each race?

How long between each race?

What time did it start/finish?

I'll head out for the EC round.

neil...that is damn funny. I was actually working on the brake ducts today....I'm sure only nissan was kind enough to put brake ducts on cars all the way 20 years ago :D

Ben...the day night meet is kind of unique - Qualifying + 5 races in 1 day, ran until 10.30pm. Normally it is qual and race 1 on sat, and 2 races on sunday and all over by 5pm.

Because it was oran park south they were long races - 12 and 15 laps. The sprint races are normally shorter, 8 to 12 laps about 20 min each (which is still long enough to work that hard). In addition we do 2 enduro rounds each year which are 2 sprint races and 1x 1hr enduro. Just enough fuel in the tank to run for 1 hour.

Well its didnt turn out like that at all, sun was shining and a bit of a cool breeze! :)

You car is soooooo cool!! I havent seen one up close before, "Go speedracer Go" :)

How did it go after we left Neil, Get those slicks hot?

lol, yes I've been pillaged before! all for the common good though. :)

hahah the lamps have had a work out lately, in fact both bulbs blew the other day which left me with the lead light. last night i got the oil gauge relocation/senders sorted and the wierd alternator problem. remaining to do is the new clutch line and slave (leaking), new brake lines, fix console, get tacho working, charge the dorian, fit the new shocks and springs, set the ride height, corner balance and wheel align (hahahah asif)

have you shared how you worked out the oil temp gauge problem mad scientist?

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
