Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)

Went to archerfield to watch the drifting today, theres certainly some colorful characters out there, including a guy that looked like snoop dogg.

Now that I have sunburn that has turned purple I'm thinking I'll probably pack the sunscreen next time

Back in Brissy now :)

What's the plan for Thursday night? BnR at Chapel Hill? Steak?

It's also time to start getting some work done to my baby. Going to see if Fulcrum can have a look at my suspension some time this week, it has Tein Coilovers and an EDFC but I want to get it all checked over and get the car raised slightly so I'm not bottoming out all the time and I can hopefully eliminate some of the god damn wheel rubbing as well. Then it's off to Chris Rogers to get the Sat Nav/DVD/Radio all sorted. Once that's all done I need to find a decent workshop to get a full service done and get it up on a dyno to see what sort of power I'm making and where we can go from there.

I'm thinking the order of work to be done is as follows:

- Exhaust, 3" turbo back... currently have at least a cat back with a 5" tip but there are some exhaust leaks according to the pre purchase inspection I got done.

- Intake (not sure if I want to go pod or keep the stock air box yet)

- Z32 AFM, Nistune ECU, return flow FMIC all in one hit. Possibly get the standard turbo up to 9-10psi at this stage as well but I'm not sure how well that would go, the car has done 140,000km...

- Get the gear box shift kitted, strengthened, high stall and a cooler put in (it's an auto)

- Miscellaneous systems upgraded/replaced (fuel pump, slightly larger injectors, new coil packs etc)

- New Turbo - thinking a HKS GT-RS. I'm not looking for a monster level of power, more around the 230-250rwkw level. From what I have read the GT-RS will do these power levels safely but still give decent responsiveness without huge amounts of lag.

Thoughts/opinions on the planed upgrade route?

keep the airbox, and get an Apexi panel filter for it. Stock turbo will hold 10-12psi nicely, with a decent boost controller everything else on the list looks pretty good to do them power figures, guessing your turbo is the stock 34 item with the OP6 rear housing if it is then just send it away to get highflowed rather then spending big $$ on a HKS item.

Fixed the brumby today, LH front driveshaft was stuff, while i was under it though i found the rattle, tail shaft uni is buggered :( the list never ends

Sarp mangs. Successful weekend was successful. Tree cut down out at mum n dads place, bike serviced - new air and fuel filter and some new plugs. Still has a miss high up though so I'm thinking the carby needs cleaning/ignition problem? Also did an oil change in the 32. Nearly 15,000kms between oil changes >_< Still going strong though :worship:

Keen for Star Wars. Pay day tomorrow :cheers:

Morning.

Bored at work

I've done pretty much no work today. Bus driver dude isn't there, so i did the bus run as soon as i got to work at 9. By the time i got back it was smoko time, then after that they sent me to newstead to get keys to take the the locksmith that i'm at now. Then after this i go back to newstead to get more parts, then back to windsor. By then they'll probably have another mission that will take me up to lunch time.

All in all a good morning so far :thumbsup:

Hahahahaha nice John

Morning mangs

Spent the weekend camping at a doof out west... feel strangely rested and motivated, despite partying all weekend haha. What's news around here? Can't be bothered reading back over the last few pages lol

The skyline world ended as you know it.

Refer back a few pages for more details.

Had a proper poke around under the hood/car for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised by what I found :)

Full turbo back exhaust by CES Racing including a split dump pipe and an after market panel filter in the air box (although it is FILTHY, need a new one). That's points one and two taken care of on my list! Got the car booked in with Fulcrum on Wednesday to sort the suspension out then I might give CES a call to see if they can sort the exhaust leaks out and I'm laughing.

Damnit, I can't believe I fell for that

Score!! Suspension will probably make you feel a lot better about the car than power upgrades right off the bat after an exhaust. That's where I'm heading with my baby soon..

Who wants to volunteer to strap them selves to my suspension so I can find out where my noises are coming from?

haven't moved yet. Let's just say i know the 2 people i'll be living with, you have been there before, and its a car friendly house

    • 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.
