I'm not dirty on Gup or the event, I had a ball, by far the best event I've entered.

I just know for next time how I'll play ball :)

And no Paul, didn't get a trophy or $$$, the respect it gained after murdering that many bigger cars all weekend was enough to make me happy, plenty of people showed their appreciation afterwards, it was very rewarding.

nah I was on the roof top (closer and better viewing) catching some cancer. Man it was hot that day. Did you find out who won the 0-200 sprint? the gsr evo looked like a good contender.

is that the gsr you're talking about?? thats mine :), i was flogging a few and in the line up they would change my lanes and put me up against some v8 drag monster, on sunday when gup was the starter for the drags he said to me at the start line that the guy next to me was gonna chop me, which i already sorta knew...

and PJ the announcer kept calling your car a skyline lol people in the crowd would start talkin shit how he doesnt know cars etc etc then some guy said its not a skyline its a s14 lol

Haha that's hilarious. Ahhh dear...

Gup asked me at the line whether my car was 4WD...

yeah silver and it had big chunky spoke chromies and was fairly low...

not sure what his sau name is. he was behind me for part of the sau putty cruise. And I think I saw you run him in the 0-200m sprint. He had a big fmic and a loud bov. you want to know what engine setup and boost he was running for bragging rights, correct?

Out of all the cars I was most impressed with yours in the Drag events. Some of the cars that you were lined up with had Monster Rear ends with huge rubber.Yet you were able to spank em.....Very impressive

hehe...its all good the G.U.P. is actually a joke 2rismo and i have. Stace leaned out the window at Jamboree and yelled out to him "Hey Guppy, where's our cheque and trophy...he yelled back "I don't owe you shit!" lol it was quite funny.

It was the booing as i was returning down pit lane after each win and the guys above the pits trying to spit on the car that was a real shame.

I lined up against the PROGPA VL on one run...he kept giving me the chopped scissors and yelling out how i was going to be served on toast etc...i slowed after winning so he was alongside me...he didn't even look over...GOLD!!!

not so much bragging rights as i spanked him hard lol just keen to know what it had, im guessing it was only a gts-t as he kept dropping the clutch and spinning the rears on the way to the start line.

haha those guys in the skyline flogging gup are pretty damn happy about it lol

haha The fatman aka FATGTR chopping the Guppy...bet he wasn't so happy when Johnny 'Bolt King' Hyde handed him his arse later that day.

Cheers mate, as happy as I am with the result, the last couple of days I've still been thinking about what I could have done on a set of ET Streets! Next year...

But I took it to the track exactly how I drive it on the street, still a huge amount of fun.

Still cut up about Bathurst maybe 20 years on?

They're the best wins, Paul. You never forget the memory of winning when someone talks smack and then you school them. Love it.

Poor V8 bogons/cavemen. I had a few times were I had the chop sign out the window as a couple of blown V8 Taxis would come around laughing on Friday & Saturday during the Powercruise. Was so good slowing down to see them come out of the smoke trail with priceless looks on their dials....(this may be why I had no 2nd gear left...lol). Like PJ I turned up with a set of street tyres and fueled up at the Shell down the road (true street car style). I think its about time a larger gathering of the non V8's turned up to one of these events and cleaned their attitudes and tanned their hides :spank: . I'm sure if we cop this attitude here, the boys in Qld would of had the same reception and would be willing to do a joint effort to teach the cave men a hard lesson. Imagine all the top prizes being taken out by 4 & 6 cylinders..... :D

Not wrong about the cavemen.Being in the crowd can be a little intimidating too.Most of these guys are Bikie looking, Covered in Tattoos, wearing the mandatory Ed Hardy T shirt. Look just like extras from a Mad Max movie.....So much for Human evolution improving with each generation

Top job wish i'd of been there,nothing better than kicking a bit of bogan arse. :D

i flogged my share of V8 monsters in the drags and cruise sessions but i had more fun flogging the imports in the cruise sessions cause they were more street orientated, 95% of the V8's on track had big top loaders, superchargers and carbys hanging out 2ft in the air, massive 10inch slick or bigger, open exhaust/no exhaust running c16 or similar so it isnt exactly a fair fight 90% were either "shed" machines (not street machines) dyno queens or trailer queens so being able to keep up or get 2-3cars pulled on you isnt that bad at all...

but yeah still fun to give it to the v8 boys :D i will be back again next year and the plan is to have another 50-80kw at least which should see me in with more of a chance and to flog the guys that flogged me. but the reality is that its powercruise, there will always be someone faster than you there - 500hp street rego'd cars vs 2000hp fully blown drag cars....

Read the rules last night for the drags, it says you are allowed to cut grooves into slicks if you want. Not that I'd bother but yeah, next year the radials will be left in the garage... ET Streets :laugh:

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
