had an interesting spot last night....

was walking to my car when i noticed a funny looking muffler on an 89' shape integra. i stopped and had a closer inspection. to my surprise it was a dirty big turbo charger! Kudos to you buddy! i've heard of that setup before, but haven't seen it, let alone on an integra!

As chris said, nextr time it happens you need to look at the computer in the boot and see how many times it flashes etc, PM me with what its doing. My book might tell me whats causeing it.

Ed said he checked and there were no errors coming up. He finally managed to get it to play up slightly today. He said the last GTR he had with this exact same issue was a real bitch to find the problem because it was intermittant and it turned out to be a grounding problem. So he's fitted some earth straps and we'll see where it goes from there.

Was certainly good to have her back :)

Yeah that was me, i was having fun with a SS commodore.

Awesome I was hoping you were a member. Yeh I saw the commie trying to harrass you. I was going to set chase and surround him with lines'. I was so tired, I could barely keep my eyes open, didnt think flicking over to full boost and going nuts was a good idea. Nice ride though mate. Love the kit

Dark r32 on Northbourne-Barton Highway- Gungahlin Drive - tonight, cruised with them for a while, then in usual fashion boosted off like an idiot.

spotted a white 33 with eye lids in woden at around 8pm. i think it was the same on that was at the skid pan with the supra club.

also saw a staega (not sure on spelling) on the way home at around 9.. followed it all the way down yuggers park way and up caswell drive.

also spotted a silver 32.. like all night.

Spotted a chick driving a silver R33 down northbourne, gave the nod. Then I proceeded to re-enforce the poor current selection of rear tyres at a certain set of lights, with some insanely stupid fishtail action. But did top off the drive home by smoking a very nice lookin evo, literally smoked it at one set of lights. Love the old tires, throws up some nice smoke through the first 3 gears on full boost lol

spotted a silver R33 on the Barton Hwy this arvo about 3pm.... not sure if they're on here but he flashed his lights from behind and then we exchanged a wave as he went past me.

I thought you would have recognised me or at least the car :)

Spotted a dark - couldn't tell if it was blue or black R32 driving through the road that passes through the shops at Gungahlin about 2 hours ago.

Also spotted a silver R33 at the roundabout near the servos in Gunners about 20 minutes ago, I was parked in the blue S3.

Could have been me. I was there about then.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
