Imagine how much faster Mark n Russ' 34 GTR would be if it ran a Motec instead of that shitter Autronic that their tuners insist on! :wub:

i'm telling you motec is not all that. the new ho-tec v69 is much better. they have an R31 silhouette plug-in and a lada niva plug-in too. working on other models to be released soon (wartburg etc). fatz put me onto them. he's been using them since release.

I nowhere suggested the Vi-PEC install was the only thing that has got the car over the line.

[sNIP]

[snipped just enough to make it look bad that is!]

changed the ecu which had a marked effect on the power output and overall engine performance.

You guys really need to have a good read of what is actually written...instead of thinking you know whats going on and drawing conclusions that dont exist.

[MORE SNIPPED]

lol, very tricky :wub:

you should be a politician!

Well fair enough I stand corrected. I've been searching for a good plug-in for my Lightburn Zeta..... but I need to know if this Ho-Tec V69 you speak of has the ability to run an additional stepper motor to turn my carburettor mixture knob when it's hits the V-neck that I'm installing? You seem to be the man in the know......

does the pope shit in the woods? is a bear catholic? of course it has advanced cardigan control for your goggomobil dart.

If only I had of installed a ViPec in the diesel TATA I was driving on Sunday, I may have been in with a chance in Open class! They are that GOOD!

LOL, i need to find a product i can rebadge and sell, i wonder if Porsche will let me sell GT2s as Brizasaruses , a cool name for a sports car if ever there was :P Then some viral advertising and i would be set ;)

lol, very tricky :P

Big showing for Vi-PEC in its 1st serious event...maybe they can now be considered as a REAL alternative to MoTeC...as they removed the MoTeC that Garth used to run and fitted the Vi-PEC
Scott built the new engine and changed the ecu which had a marked effect on the power output and overall engine performance.

Nice snip Doof...you should be a journalist...never let the actual truth, facts and complete statements cloud what could be a very juicy tale. Well done son.

You can flog off in my hotel room anytime.

So they aren't using one of those ebay power chips????

:P

i don't think mark and russ's r34 is quick cause it runs a motec. it's got a lot of other shit going for it, not least of which is the handsome driver... same as the evo. garth drove the wheels of it to get that 1:12 on a slow track.

Bloody oath, its not the MOTEC, anyone thinking that is an idiot.

ITS THE RB30 THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE :P

Yep top day and great for spectators, $15 get to see some good trade displays of the core stuff relevant, get your car washed and ran on the dyno, $50 for helicopter ride, shuttle bus around the track and an awesome display of tough cars close up and in action.

Johnny Boston did a top job as always. No crashes on the day and not too many car blow ups, track was slow though. The Slot Car had old tyres on front and new on rear main reason it was under steering. New geometry changes and mainly Bilstein PSS9 made a huge difference and fixed oversteer. I noticed Bozman was still pushing that boost button and letting it rip on the COOL down lap, it just loves a thrashing, can't kill it. I could see the tyre smoke after Suttons and to the dog leg from the pits.

The black monster R34 GTR was the toughest car I have seen. What a machine, more in it yet to as its maiden voyage.

Hey Russ I will see you at Dat Nissan Nats then. May as well bring your trophy with me, which has been at my shop. I won it the last two, but no real competition. You guys will be a great draw card and great to compete with you. Are you bringing just the two or three of your GTR’s???

who is this imposter!

ghay!

You shouldn't post sober fatz, you seem to regret it later in the night...

Is this the whoretown? Its just that ive already taken my shirt off.

Oh hai DOOF, I am in the right place.

definately whore town right now :)

Duncan guessed it right. fatz you must log off when using my computer.

Far to sensible for fats I know. You big legend you.

I read that this afternoon in dis-belief....has fatz grown up...surely not.

Ahh thanks for the link Adz!

Yeah Adrian - exactly what I meant. Brown's car would be unknown by 99% of people on here and has somwhere between 30-50% of the power of the cars it was competing against.

So 1.12.1 was the quickest lap of the day from the Evo. Very good result there.

Also maybe its a missprint but this John Boston bloke turned up 3 times - 1st in class, 3rd in class and 5th in class. He must be an odd sort of guy.

I'm sure our Vic friends will be pretty cut up to see their mate Brett Middleton come home dead last in the amateur class super lap.

Brett Middleton last. That makes me sooooo happy. The guy is an asshole !! :)

Brett Middleton last. That makes me sooooo happy. The guy is an asshole !! :)

id want him to be 1st....last means he has a possible chance of running up everyones arse!....at least if he's first you can keep an eye on him.

amateur class...very fitting for BM though.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
