I'll be there, but it turns out that the spark plug problem that caused the ecu to miss count trigger teeth and fire 30 deg out caused a fair bit on damage.  The machine shop found a 9 thou bow in the bore, so I pulled all the rings off the pistons to check them, once the rings came off the ring lands fell out.  So i'm going oversized ross pistons, hopefully i'll have everything back this week to put it back together.

Awesome to hear you'll be there mate, I will be there for tour class too. Fingers crossed for no rain! 

 

How are the repairs going? 

Rain doesn't hurt haha.  I've heard the road is pretty grippy in the wet.  We'll have to have a beer on the Sunday night

They are coming along well, the engine will be back in the car this weekend.  I've got the head on most of the manifold on.  just need to fit turbo and sump and it's good to go in

Engine is all together and running again.  I took the car for a quick run tonight and there were no leaks, which always makes a day better.  I'kk put some km on it this weekend and it;ll be all ready for snowy river

So I should probably update from the past 2 rallies.

The Snowy River sprint was stinking hot, we ended up with 60 deg cabin tempatures.  Unfortunatly we did the weekend on 10psi of boost, as the boost solenoid failed.  But we still set top 3 times most of the weekend with no power.  Luckely for us the event got cut short because of bushfires, the heat had also killed the alternator

I left the car in melb for 3 weeks between Snowy River and GTR.  When I picked it up I replaced the alt and solenoid.

GTR was a better rally.  I had a new nav so we lost a fair bit of time in the morning getting up to speed with each other.  But by the end of the event we were getting stage wins.  We ended up finishing 2nd in the championship, which I can't really complain about since the car was temperamental for most of the year.

Thought I better give an update.  I've added R34 GT-R rims onto the car with Dunlop 265's, they only just fit but it's made a big difference to grip.  The last event for the year was the Poatina Mountain Race, we finished 2nd overall to a 360awkw R34 GT-R which wasn't too bad. Especially when rally safe said we were 20km/h down on his top speed.

 

 

Plans for 2018 is for some circuit work and maybe some more Mountain Motorsports events.  I want to have a crack at the Targa Championship in the Corvette, so probably less events in the Skyline

So after a couple of years of doing nothing i've started giving the old girl some love again.  The goal is to build a 2.2l sroker and  run it in classic gt in Targa 2022.

I have replaced the Racepak dash with a motec C125.  The motec is in a different leage as far as what it can do and how well the i2 software works to view the logs.

I found a fuel sock that would fit propery in the factory pump bracket, hopfully this will stop the car eating fuel pumps.

Also fitted a rain light to keep cams happy.DSC_0487.JPG

 

I had to put new seatbelts in to replace the perfectly good but out of dates ones.DSC_0488.JPG

I'll be running the car at the 60th anniversary meeting for Symmons Plains on Oct 24-25.  Still some work to do on the car before then, but it will be good to have it up to date and running again.

I reckon I have that sock in a box somewhere lol 

Yay for progress :)

I found it on spares box.  from what i read everyone else hacks up their gtr cradle so the walbro one will work. I couldn't find anywhere that sold the std Nissan one

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
