bit of an update, After sydney ADGP round i was left with a fair bit of damage suspension wise and the turbo also is on the way out. what a bummer cause during all this i was in the process of buying a new gearbox since i had sold the Jerico 4 speed Nascar box. I ran that for ADGP but then ripped it out as soon as i got home.

I now have bought one of these babies!

TTI 4 speed straight cut dog engagement sequential! flat shifts come at me!

Now onto the suspension damage... i managed to break a fair bit of stuff during a wheel on wheel contact with Rob Whyte

managed to break the knuckle in 3 pieces along with the coilover and the rim. So i need a new set of knuckles. Have decided that i will probably go back to a cut and shut knuckle and take spares with me as its much simplier from a parts replacability point of view.

turbo is also noisy :(

so i'll prob steer clear of the Garretts since they have not been too relable for me, will prob go with a Kando t67 25g!

this is how car sits atm

Oh and i also did G1 few weeks ago. and i sucked, mainly cause i was in the Garage7 missile which is a battle car not a competition car and mallala just doesnt allow for low powered cars to keep up. that didnt stop me from doing some backies and putting on a show! Took my sponsor/tuner/mate Declan co-owner of garage7 for a drive and he loved it. that was enough for me to make the day worth it haha

Richard from 1110 engineering made me up a Clutch activation set up in the form os nissan fork, carrier and ball. Used all new parts, bit of engineering went into making this , whole new input shaft cover had to be made with a shaft to suit the carrier.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
