so you've left russ out in the cold :) . I'm sure we can organise some locals to knife some porsche tyres for you.

Should be some good sideways pics of you.

Edited by sav man

Kinda :) Russ knows what it means to me, so I have his full blessing...... Personally I don't think we have a chance against those lightweight Porshes, having seen Rex Broadbent's thing in action actually I say we categorically have no chance, but of course a Class win is always the aim :) Oh, and to finish!

Not sure how much sideways stuff we can afford, 4 tyre limit these days :)

Timmy, I'm not sure either mate? Haven't been able to work it out really! lol

flat out workin on targa wrest point 24/7... haven't touched the rx7, evo or ps3 in nearly two months!

on classic handicap the gtst has the same index as gavin james 944 s2 and he was a shoe in for second this year until i understand he put his medium front tyres on the rear and hard rears on the front.... classic outright would be tuff in the gtst again the 900kg / 370kw 911's and 1300kg / 350kw torana's.

ps. might not have played with my toys of late, but did have a steer of the 24hr brock monaro today!

Grab your surfboard Snows - black support car is confirmed!

Will be better than the Evo in terms of space and practicality too - so works out well :thumbsup:

The black car loves a good motorsport event :ermm: (Although it will be stickerless this time thank god).

And it will be even better than the EVO in terms of awesomeness and coolness as well! LOL

When I last spoke to Gavin he was excited that I'd bought something that I hope to compete against him with. He's a top bloke and a really good steerer to boot, so I'm looking forward to it :thumbsup:

Enjoy the Munro Stu?

So do we quit now on the cool car stakes or wat?

it was v-cool, everycar needs motec dash, squential box, massive brakes, 18 x farking hugh tyres!

only(!!) has 436kws but funny thing was its pretty much stripped aside form the dash and carbon blanking trim pieces but keeps the standard audiovox stereo fascia!

the whole car is very different to his targa monaro cv8 i had for a week back in 2004. remember the year brock and richards both ran out of fuel on a stage. brock said the gauge still indicated 1/3 tank of fuel and i thought yeah right someone just cocked up... turned out he was right, 1/3 tank of fuel and the sucker ran out on me too in the middle of no where late one friday night... maybe on a targa stage!

the other thing, the shift required a very positive motion, you look at v8supercar on telly and the latest generation of the the same gearbox looks like it only needs a very light touch... but what would i know!

So cool Stu, I'd love to take that for a spin.

In regards to the fuel issue, it doesn't surprise me one bit. In the 9 or so cars I've had, I've never once ran out of fuel. In my Clubbie I have run out 5 times in the past 18 months... and I have a fuel card. Unbelievable. The gauges are as useless as tits on a bull! It also needs a bit of fuel to start it, like 7 or 8 litres, so two trips to the servo with a jerry can. I now have a nice can collection... And the things are fvckin heavy when you have to push them. It's no 180SX that's for sure :)

Haha - well we do have 35 "official" fans on Facebook so maybe we should bring the Hummer incase some turn up to support? ;)

But I think this time around the RS4 will do just fine. Will hopefully bring the R36 for April (the wife will hopefully let me drive it by then).

    • 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.
