You're not the only one Ben. I've fitted an 040 too and lost lots of power. But I've been losing some even before the upgrade. Pulled the plugs yesterday and they're black as! Maybe 100kms old and black as! :down:

Getting the stag booked into Southern Hi Tech soon to sort it all out.

pretty sure i do, post it up later today

Hey guys well done on a great day, well organised effort, lots of very nice cars too!

I'm happy with the power I made, the trophy's really nice, breathed in too many fumes and had a hang over for hours after and I'm guessing I wasnt alone!

Dissapointed with the manner in the cars were run, firstly the fact that the afr's were not logged is just crazy and far too risky (even lazy), I heard one car lean out to the point it left running on less than six cylinders, also when John was running cars up he was loading them up for way too long prior to WOT, especially cars that were already warm, then having to endure such high revs for what reason I dont understand, engine bay temps wouldve been pretty high!

sorry to turn such a positive day down a little, I wont be takeing my car there again and I heard a few others say the same thing on the day.

let the flamage begin!!!!!!

Didn't the blue mesh win the wooden spoon for softest dyno performance? It was a DYNO day afterall. What are your bananas dancing about Ruby? :blink:

Dancing for the blue mesh :)

I got the wooden spoon because my guesstimate for the day was way off to what I actually got. The 33 ran out of rego the day before the day, and I rushed putting my stagea back together for the day. I clearly got something seriously wrong with the fuel delivery, as my 100km old plugs are black as, and its chewing juice like its free. Stag is seriously under-powered and I'm sorting things out this week to find those lost ponies. I knew I was down on power, but I wanted to be in it rather than add to the people dropping out.

Happy with best presented stag ... but with only 2 other stages there, the odds were good. It was still a good incentive for embarrassing myself with my dyno run tho. :P

very well organised event and was happy to catch up with a few people....sorry i had to bale really early as i was in a very very bad state.....but good day all around.....so has anyone posted up the whole days power figures???

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
