A couple more updated cage pics with the central cross, single diagonal (if you can spot it!) and the double side intrusions which I'm VERY impressed with. They have done such a great job of working around all the trims etc. It really looks fantastic.

Really only the extra central horizontal is left to go in after that.

Yep - Merridian is doing it.

And Steve you are wrong.

1. The car is MUCH quieter with the rear seats in and they are costing me a whole lot less than what that sound deadening stuff does.

2. We also now have somewhere safe and easy to put our helmets between stages rather than again having to spend money on carry netting etc.

3. The seats only weigh about 3kgs so I'm not losing much in that front either :)

I did that a long time ago after an airbag in an R33 GTR went off for no reason I could understand on a skidpan and basically knocked myself out.

I paniced it may happen on a track to me one day so it's plug was pulled back then (and I have a piece of tape covering the annoying flashing airbag light :) ).

the cage looks good....but the seats have to go. the most important thing about a race car is it has to look like and sound like a race car. who cares if it actually goes faster or not?

anyone have any good ideas for any events coming up in QLD?

having fun at QR, but looking for something a bit different?

Cheers

It's a bit of a drive and still a long way off but this could be some fun :P

I still like to boast that I'm the only current Dutton Rally winner to do so with a full interior and working DVD player and there's no reason to stop taking the mickey out of these people who take themselves too seriously just yet either :P

Plus at the end of the day this car is still street registered, so it's more of a road car I have some fun in than a race car. :D

lol, looks awesome actually.

but Townsville is a bit far out.

Anyone know any similar events in Northern NSW or SEQLD sooner?

cheers

Geez - 70 confrimed entries already for Wrest Point and 200 for Targa Tas. And all the other people I know that are apparently doing Wrest Point aren't aren't even on the list yet.

Well done to all the guys at Octogon.

There's only one proper tarmac rally in QLD, the Suncoast Classic. It wasn't run this year but will be back in 2009. The 2007 event was prety good. I was a Stage Safety Officer so got to drive some of the stages under closed conditions. They had some nice roads.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
