yea was a fun weekend

cheers brad for the help, the alignment which felt shit on the road was farken awesome at the track

had to completely adjust my style of driving to get the best out of the car as there is now very limited understeer (in the rain it was understeer city though)

truly amazing that the car held together

couple of issues (the bad)

the accelerator pedal fell off(looks like i didnt tighten those bolts)

if revved over 6k the breather would oil up the rear turbo and go through the engine and out the exhaust(definatley needs a catch can)

car would only do 8 laps before fuel surge (ghetto mod to fuel pump got it across the line)

single peice tail shaft is not balanced i think which is quite annoying

fire extinguisher tried to escape a few times

once it rained the window fogged up like a bitch

the good

car went hard all weekend even though we could only rev her to 6k

stoptech brakes were awesome

driving standards were quite high

anyway a 1:10 on 3 year old ku36's and only reving to 6k and heavy traffic is fine

i think even with the shit tyres it would easily do a low 1:08 as i was not pushing it at all to get the low 1:10

anyway, its back to brad's for a surge tank, catch can, front lsd and hopefully back out for the circuit club day

i am still amazed that it made it and kept on trucking!

anyway enough bullshit here are some pics

I do remember telling you it would feel like busted arse on the road but would be nice on the circuit ;)

Good to hear straight off the trailer it handled well, got some idea bout setting up a skyline hey ;)

Haven't finished the setup yet, needs a little more work on the scales.

Can't help laugh at the throttle pedal that's truely a fatz only moment!

The fatz racer has shinny parts,

Dunno how long they will look like this for but meh.

Catch can has a low side that drains back to the sump.

There is also a custom catch can infront of the battery and a new design under car surge tank that ive been developing.

Ill put up some photos of it latter but it holds 4.5L and supports two 044 pumps or a single weldon pump. Has internal baffles and is also foam filled.

I make heaps of them.

I've got a few designs now depending on how much people want to spend.

I don't have any sitting around I haven't been bothered to make any for a while. Currently I'm just making them to order when needed.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
