Kurt Wilson is the fastest genuine street car.

After Jambo id say mine will be. (fingers crossed)

this is from official records...not just hearsay

http://www.hpi.com.au/drag_records.php

Mine is registered and regularly see's the highway...id say Kurts and mine would be the only 2 genuine streeters in the top 10. My car runs full glass, all interior trims, carpet, hood lining, door trims, dash etc...except rear seat and side trims.

mark and russ's R32 I'm fairly sure was still rego'd when it ran that time in the HPI chart, and still competed in road events like dutton etc, but I'm pretty sure mark and russ weren't exactly using it to get the shopping. which is my point. it's kind of hard to define what 'street driven' means. I mean most of those cars you could go and register and drive a km or 2 on the street. but I'd say none in the top 10 would be 100% street legal and defect free should an enthusiastic police or EPA officer chose to go over them thoroughly.

this is why most records are just defined by rigid class rules that are not disputable, like tyre type etc.

You should see the looks on the boys faces when i drop my daughter off at school...its gold!

Our car was built around the ANDRA street class rules for Sport Compact cars so id say considering he refered to drag racing times Mark and Russ' car does not comply. So BB there are clear cut rules...you are just not aware of them.

My car requires two simple modifications before street cruising, with these done the car is fully compliant with engineers certification and with the flick of a switch under the dash the 'guilt-toy' special EPA map is activated in the ecu.

At the time was an everyday driver: My GF used to drive it.

It was 100% legal in Tassie.

10.6 @ 138mph

Raced as street car. Full weight, exhaust, pump fuel, stereo. Only reason I didn't drive it to the track is it's 280km from home.

Cheers

J.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
