It was a good day, pretty happy with the 311rwkw :P just need to work out why when i turned the boost controller up the actual boost level went down :) Pretty sure im gonna have to go E85 some time soon as well :D

Yeah, major thanks to the Wests, who insisted the day go ahead, after the warning. The reason we had to close the door on the louder runs, is that if a second complaint was received, they could be issued with a on the spot fine of $60,000, which I can't believe a fine of that substance could be issued without evidence or proof of excessive noise, emissions etc.

Matt, I'll get in contact with Troy from Adelaide Tyrepower for you. Hit me up with a PM and send me your email address and I'll let you know how to redeem your prize!!

Daniel.

Ahh well at least they were decent about it and didn't decide to defect.

So props to the Sturt Police officers. :blink:

Its likely it was the few unit/houses across the road; one of the blokes has a really nice older ford from memory. Maybe he no likey the jap crap. :blink:

your joking?

ppl complained about noise,coming from a car workshop, on a saturday afternoon??

fck me, very sad.

This is Adelaide ... full of whingers! Whinge about the international airport noise, whinge about freeway traffic. Kinda obvious a performance workshop will have cars in it innit? :blink:

I can tell you now that the police couldn't really do dick. They'd be required to have an EPA rep come out to do the testing. Ambient vs omitted acoustic distrubance above the ambient noise of general traffic. Being on a main arterial road that'd be hard to prove. I think the complaint was more to do with so many imports and their owners in one place at the one time.

:blink:

for some stupid reason mine only made 66kw. Even last year made 85kw with a shocking missfire. No one new what was going on. Even ran in rwd for one and still the same. Strange.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
