great just what we need more f wits making it hard for the rest of us again . at least the suby was racing another suby and the name skyline isint linked to this crash .

rip to the innocent victim on his way home from work :-(

Once again these f**kwits think it's acceptable to endanger our lives on the road.

When are the authorities going to review legislation and introduce harsher penalties that might actually deter these strett racers.... :(

no shit, now someone minding their own business has been killed, we're gonna be feeling someones boot up our trousers ;|

sad fact is the guy who hit them is still alive... I hope he gets sent to the big house for a while

-D

Stupid, stupid, stupid. :( Custom yellow/lime coloured WRX ... wouldn't be too hard to find that twat.

looks like some esl guy wrote that.. so many mistakes its not funny

stupid street racers.. when they gonna learn :S

so you telling me they wernt street racing and they was just driving side by side at 60 ks and the poor toyota just drove out in front of them ?

mey, youd like to think so... they'll just defect more cars...

and beside no law will stop stupid people from doing stupid things...

I was driving home at about 10:10pm last night and had to turn off torrens road as it was shut down,

I work with a close friend of the victum, he left work (we do night shift) at about 12pm when he got a confirmed call that his friend was pronounced dead. WTF is it with WRX drivers? Seriously, one of my best friends was killed by a WRX driver in November 08' (that crash on Taplies hill road), the WRX and skyline on Magill road, and now 2 WRX's this time? WTF! All a bunch of c0ck sucking drop kicks. Low performance drivers in high performance cars.

R.I.P - and I hope a full and speedy recovery to the seriously injured female.

This goes to prove no matter how safe you play life - you still get fcuked over.

and beside no law will stop stupid people from doing stupid things...

Wanna bet? Start by restricting inexperienced drivers getting behind the wheel of high powered cars. They do it to motorcyclists, why not car drivers?

Low performance drivers + high performance cars = FAIL and/or DEATH

We can forget that crap argument about even a datto 1200 can cause death by speed. Its the power of cars like the WRX that can get an inexperienced driver into the danger zone faster and quicker than an NA 1.8lt 4 cylinder Astra for example.

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
