Well, its was a top day out, we are dashing off to have a few quiet drinks, but here are some pics.

We went OK today, don't have full results yet, but those cheater tyres are pretty good.

Well, the results are in, and in an outstanging effort, Pete has run to a beer-fueled 3rd in the Wet Eastern Creek track session, managing a 1.57!

We didn't get to see the times from the dry sessions, they felt real quick but neither of us was in the top 10.

Overall I am running 20th in the drivers, Pete is 11th in the co-drivers, In the teams we are running 16th.....so more work to do today :D

Well, we've made it to the end of day 2, and we are fighting well above our class.

We are 11th outright in the field. Since tomorrow is all at Wakefield track, we are hoping to move inside the top 10.

Pete's been having a blinder, he obviously goes faster with beer in him. He set the fastest time on the Sutton Hillclimb stage (except for the small issue of a 5 second witches hat penalty which put him out of contention). He then backed that up with 2nd outright in the special stage in Goulburn's main street.

I haven't had higher than 9th outright (Eastern Creek track wet session) so I better have a proper go tomorrow.

GSR 13s, you mate is doing bloody well, on the back of winning pretty much every skid pan event they are running 3rd outright.

what a tops weekend

team dunkanfatz finished a respectable 10th outright out of 58 teams consisting of mostly porkas, and other exotic cars,

go the blue whale

managed a 7th outright in the co drivers, and a 3rd in class

im so chuffed,

great driving and a big thanks to dunkan for being silly enought to let me loose in his car...... you should have seen his face when i got the thing airbourne

lol

picks r cumming

Looks like Pete beat me to it - the boys posted an OUTSTANDING result this weekend.

Not too bad when you consider the competition they were up against- lots of fast Porshes, a clubman, a turbo charged MX5 and one of those fancy Evos.

Since he brought it up.... Pete's extracirricular activities almost put the mitsubishi out of contention on the last day. Returning to our second floor hotel room at 3.30am in the morning (yep, Fatz is one serious competitor) Pete realised he had forgotton his keys and decided to scale the balcony- to avoid having to wake us all up no doubt. Unfortunately, the one too many cordials he had consumed that night caused him to fall upon reaching the second floor. The Evo was in his path, but luckily he managed to execute a fancy role at the finish, landing on Jason instead. The bushes on the ground also suffered considerable damage and will never look the same again.

Let the stories (excuses!) begin....

Cheers,

Kel

oh yea and thanks to kel for putting up with us in that motel room, you loved it didnt you

Yeah, Petie, absolutely LOVED all that snoring and farting, not to mention you jumping on top of Duncan, singing bad Elvis songs and hoping for a snog at 3.30 in the morning.

;P

Well, I'm stoked with how the rally went, 10th outright against that sort of competition was a real acheivement.

There should be some excellent TV coverage, not to mention the interview of pete and the infamous "balcony incident"

I'll post up when the results are available, but some highlights are:

Pete came 2nd outright in the Eastern Creek wet laps, and in the Goulburn main street motorkhana....not to mention that he took the fastest time on the Sutton hillclimb stage by over 1/2 second from the clubman (except for the 2x5 second witches hat penalties ;) )

I managed a couple of top 10 results in the track sprints, but need heaps more practice in the wet motorkhanas, especially as the magic tyres ran out of grooves very, very quickly :)

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
