Yeah it was 4-5 in the end but that was just to cover the hire and insurance costs, nothing towards the capital purchases we were making. There is still an event per month to go this year and the Texikhana theme is not dead.

thanks to the wanks that gave us false hope..... we should kick them out of sau, there no help anyway lol

Now I don't think that's very fair Kujotk, I'm sure everyone tried hard to get the numbers together, but in times where petrol is hurting the hip pocket the most, and being in another state, needing an over night stay, the money quickly adds up before you even get onto the track... I don't even enter and it's quite easily a $300 weekend.

There are still plenty more events throughout the rest of the year, and we have some plans for more events in the future. This is more of a hickup then a major problem :P

haha, I'm already a few beers in... hence the calmness :P

Texi is in no way dead, we were never going back to Sutton anyway due to problems that arose... We are looking for a replacement, and although it won't be exactly the same, it will be just as good :)

That's right, we've already found a tentative venue which is promising, so soon the process will begin on securing it so we can organise our next Texi. Even better, if this venue is the go, then it's going to be nice and local, so there's a minimum saving of roughly $200 per entrant because we won't have to worry about driving down, overnight accommodation, and getting back the next day.

this sounds excellent..... ive been looking online and in an old gregorys 13th edition 1995 street directory to see what i could find and once upon a time i recon amaroo park would have been nice and local, only 10min drive from my place lol

how about we ask a bunnings for use of their car park after they close on a sunday night lol,,,,,

also can we make this new event as soon as possible, and if this new place suits us, is there a rough estimate of what month this will be held?

maby its too soon to ask but im just keen to go

Yeah, it's a shame Sydney's lost soooo many race venues over the years - Amaroo Park, Castlereagh drag strip, and probably at least another 2-3 more... Oran park has been sold to developers and will be converted to a housing estate in the not-too-distant future, so do yourselves a favour and get out there and use it while it still exists!

Did you know that before Westmead Hospital was built that that site was the old venue for what became Parramatta City Raceway?

Bunnings car-park is probably a little to no chance of happening, unfortunately...

We've got no idea when this new "replacement" event will take place, considering the Texi was only cancelled today. We've got to make sure we can use the venue, then find an available date, and go from there...

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
