i have an update - i spoke to andrew from crd & he states the following:

- when u start the car the knock level can be distrupted hence the hand controller should always be reset after starting (u are right paul)

- if i hit rev limiter on the 1/4 mile this will also register a high knock level at times from noise etc when the exhaust pops & carries on

no need for a check with my tune - ready to go this wed night :D

yeah my clutch let me down but as paul explained "drag radials will always uncover the weakest point of the driveline"

from here i had a 'relatively lengthy' discussion with jim berry (LOL personal joke) & paul aka TWOOGLE!

my options are to either go with jims 'full monty' big single OR rebuild my existing twin plate clutch...both paul & i agree that i should stick with my twin plate which is the path i have decided to take.

im off to phuket as of tomorrow, as soon as i get back im onto my clutch as im keen to get out there ASAP & get kicked off the track :D

brett - as long your clutch is healthy (as i think mine had its fair share) your twin plate is perfect for your application!

good luck with your run & make sure u post your results on this thread, i'll be checking at an internet cafe :D

i did a short 2nd gear burnout then launched it @ 8000rpm - as soon as i got into top rpm of 1st gear i could hear it slip...2nd & 3rd gear did the same thing.

this is why i did an 11.7 but my 60' was 1.57 - there is still room for more improvement on my 60'

yep - i had a 10 in the bag

Id say he has a tune issue, or if he is using a fuel cut as a rev limit then it is self explanitory, should always cut ignition, not fuel.

Never had that problem ever, both of my gtr's never go over mid 20's even on 40c days running to redline many many times.

might be more of an issue that a piece of rubber was getting sucked up into his 044 intank pump and blocking it causing a fuel flow issue....nasty lean outs...ouch!

And you know you're trying your hardest when you lunch everything and try to take out one or all of the following:

- Your feet

- The car

- The track

- The timing system

- The officials

- The fence

- The crowd

Isn't that right, Ben?

:P

Mate their is no point calling up a tilt tray just because you have a slipping clutch or you snapped an axle - smash the damn clutch (and everything else) and THEN you have a reason to call a tilt tray.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
