Spotted SXYGST twice this morning - Then my boy called me at work and spotted him too. Clean Silver 33 came through the Jerra Pub carpark at 4ish.

Now what was I doing there. Drowning my sorrows thats what. The !@#$%^&*(*) at Dickson knocked me back for the third time. The stock front pipe is 5mm too Low. Jelous is all i can put it down to.

Back at 9:30 2moro for another go. A hydraulic jack and 50 PSI in the tyres ought to give me a pass mark from the !@#$%^&*(() (**&&%$#@ )(*(*&%!

was dave there? he's a pretty young guy, and was absolutely fantastic and a few other young guys there were good too, if there are old guys there you could be in trouble, but the young guys were really good with me!

i know one guy who gave the guys at the pits a lot of trouble, being a smart ass talking down to them etc... so they drilled him for everything they could find. a big part of it is respect, if you treat them well they will do the same(in general)

i dont know if nick and ewan will remember but when i was going through getting my car over the pits a while ago, i put a big post up on another local forum saying that my dad was taking the car in and saying it was his etc...and i was saying how clever i was and how dumb they were, turns out one of the guys brothers was a member of the forums and told them all about it, the guys at the pits thought it was hilarious and gave me soooo much sh*t about it, and that they do read forums etc....anyway they all laughed about it, were very kind with checking the car and wished me well.

Guys keep in mind that some of the people from the pits -DO- read these forums (was talking to them about it when i went over) and some comments might make them pick on you some more :D

anyways, spotted gunmetal r32 gtst on lanyon drive in queanbeyan, gave a sort of finger/wave/hey thing and then realised i probably looked like a retard :)

No I was good, honest. I took the rejection on the chin. No smartarse remarks and was very sensible and polite, all three times now.

The gents who selected the defects and knocked it back were the senior ones and one was the boss (Roy). My cars very very tidy and alot safer than most new cars. 5mm too low with two big fellas siting in the front. She passed QLD RTA in October of this year as it was. The front pipe is dead stock and so is the Zorst Jayce lent me.

I no complain, maybe a little, but it appeard to me to be overzelous and I sincerely beleive it's because its an import or they have been asked to go hard on our cars.

Child restraint clips "actually" fitted. Not just the threaded holes like your Brand new this years model anything which just has the Plugs in em. Now come on!

dang i thought i had it hard when they nocked me back for not knowing the weight of my car :) at least that only took me 20 minutes to fix up but yea they seem to pick up on some stupid things though which i am sure 95% of others would let slide. oh well they can afford to be tight arses we dont have a choice in who we take our cars to.

i would have walked past on my way back to the library after my lunch break, but i don't think i was being suspicious. did he have a black blink 182 shirt on? if so it was me being freaky, otherwise someone else is a freak

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
