I wonder if we were the reason cops were up at Mt Lofty. Couple of hours earlier I went up there with the 2 boys from Diamonds Cameras, one has the new Maserati & the other brother has the new Porsche Carrera S4 4WD.....we tore the roads up on the way there but took it easy coming down. They were both a little suprised what a Jap car was capable of when you consider their combined value is almost $600K.

I used a full tank of petrol last night, overcooked the clutch & brakes and probably lost 1/2 the tread on my tyres which is why I didn't catch up with you guys later.

so its you causing the sudden rise in petrol costs :(

and by tore the roads you mean got out the cars and performed neccessary road maintenence/repair on the inadequate surfaces you found on the way up :)

whoever owned the blue 32 that looked like kye's was prob freaked out by me :D i was sure it was kye's, it even had gtr seats in it but then i noticed the plates and i was look oops.

good ta see you all again guys, sorry couldnt stay for the cruise but next time ill put in some extra effort to stay out.

Unfortunately things got a little screwed up last night, but still it was a good cruise. The tunnels were sweet. I read the Windows up instruction as windows down :( Ahh music to my ears hehehe

i went through about 3/4 of a tank enjoying the hills aswell but god dam its worth it!

To those who didnt follow the cruise map, we did wait for yas, but unfortunately you guys went straight instead of right at the lights in pt adelaide!

the rb26 drags... to 60... were hot, makes me wanna wind the boost up ;)

im done driving for a few weeks, playing taxi has taken it out of me haha, i went through a tank easy this weekend, but so worth it.

Definately nice to start meeting more people, name badges can be supplied (like me and rad33) in the future :D

yeah not wrong Ryan....I've been up that road a million times but it was the 1st time in a car that doesn't feel like a boat....I realized that the car could be pushed alot further than I was prepared to do so.

I caught up with Nick tonight (owner of the Carrera) and he's gonna send me some pics of the cars that went up, I think there might be a bit of video somewhere too, and I'll post the stuff up this week.

yeah I'm hanging out to see the pics too.........I might give it a bit of a rest between drinks I think, it was a real hairy ride and I need to get the driver's seat cleaned before another one of those episodes.......those new 4WD Porches are ridiculous on those twisties and they put the power down in a very linear manner whereas my thing was an absolute handfull with the boost turned up abit more and almost 500hp at the wheels.

We both took a 20 minute breather at the top to calm the nerves down before driving back down.

HEY nothing wrong with 1 turbo and AWD :P;)

check you PM Chad

NPZ Mark had a ball driving you around :D

Pete when you need a driver i will make my services available ;)

OK! one turbo is enough, thats looks like fun, must of made you dizzy! ;):)

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
