Burr we would of cleaned up if we were eligible against general Sydney entry ;)

YAY! :( Like I said after the show, I WILL be organising duplicates of the trophies for anyone that wants one. A LOT of effort was put in by A LOT of people and I want them to remember that weekend :( The cost will be known on Tuesday/Wednesday hopefully :)

I'm getting some pretty gnarly headspins right now due to lack of food, sleep and rest, so I'll probably be heading off to bed shortly.

pfft

we had a better display, and we SO had more power then you :( though we were worried... we were watching you closely ;)

I might organise it next year with the other states so we just enter as SAU country wide :(

Morph you guys had a nice display over there but in the power stakes well, only 4 of our cars went on the dyno(mine managed a terribly low score btw) and we still won the club shootout :P

I think we both got hard done by Queen Street Racing even BEING a club as really, they are part of a business.

Oh well, there's always next time.

Display looked awesome guys.

Spoke with Marijan the other day and he was really pleased with the weekend.

A bit down that he didn't get any individual awards but got over it pretty quick :-)

He went for a bit of a drive on the Sunday and got pulled over. Luckily no defects, but the nice polite lady officer, took his phone number and address saying she might send him a nice invite to visit the EPA :-)

He tried arguing that his exhaust was called a HKS Silent so there's no way it should be too loud but didn't get very far.

Hahahahaha I love the way he thinks :/

A car like that should really be engineered, I hope he's done that.

To be honest, we were all a bit peeved he didn't win best engine bay, especially after one of the judges was drooling over it... The winning one wasn't even finished! It seems shiny things impress these judges :/

Luckily I stayed back to help pack up and didn't go for a drive with Marijan. It would have been a riot trying to argue the 'HKS Silent' exhaust excuse on my car :/

And I agree that Marijan's engine bay should have won best engine bay (not that I am biased in any way :/). Pure street car that has practical show and go.

Best. R32. GTR. ever.

Well done to Marijan on such a fine example of a true street/strip/show car.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
