I'm buying some parts from Ed, but most of my parts are through Trojan who today gave me a quote which was much the same as Slide (and they knew nothing of what Slide quoted) - I'm glad I'm able to do something through them because they have always been helpful to me.

I'm going through Ed for the install because 1) Mark jacked up on me and doesn't want to do it and 2) Erol (my mentor/professor/idol) knows Ed and he will let Erol work with him on the tune. I don't believe Ed has setup/tuned a Vi-PEC before, and although he seemed hesitant, he was still happy to work with us on it. Eds been lovely to deal with as well.

We're going to dyno before and after. She's booked in for the 23rd and she races at Mt Panorama on 7th & 8th March for round 2 & 3 of the NSW Championship. Everybody LOVES Bathurst, so I expect there will be a huge turnout.

I know the GT-SS is approx $1500 more than the -7, but all reports seem to point to the fact that they are more responsive... besides, she deserves it LOL

I haven't decided on the injectors yet... I'll probably go with what Ed recommends.

I don't mind the feedback and these guys know me well enough that they can throw some opinions my way, besides, it makes me think outside the box. Someone who is partial to frangipanis on his car will probably be the next one to give me some cheek :wave:

Nice results at the hillclimb btw.

You buying the v44 or v88? I did ask Ed a while ago if would tune VI-PEC ecu's but he was more non committal then.

Neither - I'm going the plugin ecu http://www.vi-pec.com/page_files/pluginecu.htm for $1765 but it is based on the v44 model

meh still used to calling the plugin the v44. Thats all lol

I'd better clarify, its not the upgrade he's objectional to... its the part where he has to do the work. He hasn't stopped and needs a break.

That was what I was referring to :wave:

Anf the GT-SS are so much better then the -5's for hill climb work. Still we can compare when I finally get my injectors etc.

ooh shiny bits! :)

ps. I remember that pool table. when are we gonna have another piss up/car video night at your house?? :D

We should do it again soon... we were going to have a Grand Turismo night - even tho I suck at video games it was fun watching the others fight it out. We'll put Reece in a Starlet and make him race against the GTRs again :D

VERY nice Michele... I knew you couldnt keep it stock for long :/

Maybe now you might be able to keep up with mine when its back on the road :P

Well that's if yours ever makes it on the road again!

We're all still eagerly anticipating it's return!!

hmm I don't think it was the cars fault, cos you didn't catch Mark. So I must have been soft that day :/

Can't wait to see you get out to the hillclimb.... you really don't know what you're missing (John/Cejay - Tell HIM!!)

Yep hillclimb is fun and far less damaging to the cars then a full race day. Be there.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
