Ps Anyone see the crash on the roundabout at Kings Ave and parkes way last night?? Nasty, looked like he'd rolled a few times and caught fire. Must of been goin sooooo quick by the look of it. Don't even know what kinda car it was.

if its the crash im thinking of then yes it was the KAM motortrimmimg WRX, it had just been freshly sprayed and is absolutely destroyed, it ended up on its roof on fire. seriously deadly crash, not sure on the state of occupants.

Whilst this is off topic...Definately not the KAM Rex-it had a rear ender of some sort-saw it come past my work on Saturday morn' on the back of a truck.Pity-it's a good looking ScoobieRoo!

Whatever it was on(in?!)that roundabout on Friday night,it was FRIED...I thought it was something like a Daewoo/now-Deadwoo...

as for anyone inside...oooooh,I'd hate to imagine!Yuk!

Yup!I also spotted many a 'Line tonight:a very keen,driver-was-waving black 32(I'm reliably informed by Amaru and Aurora it was probably Sterlo),plus some 33's.Plus I was happy to cruise home with SxyGTST(I'm almost sure I got that messed up!)-good night with minimal hassles from the funstoppers!

P.S. Saw the end result of a HUGE one car prang at the roundabout of Kings Way/Parkes Way(Russell offices)...damned if someone didn't miss their braking point...

yeh it dude it was great i wasnt happen though my wife and sister - in law where drawling over your car hehehehehehe. i tell u what the sweetest gtr i have ever seen. sorry i got a bit to close on some occasions but was observing it very closely. :P

Thanks man, yours was pretty damn impressive as well (as well as DAN00H.... I still reckon you havnt got stock turbos... you cant pull that power on 8psi on stock turbos :P).

I was pretty impressed with mine... the power curve is nice and should be good for the track (which is what im slowly getting the car prepared for).

I was pretty surprised, not really running stock boost tho

more like 1bar.

the exhaust is straight through and pods are pods.

I am still a bit sus as I was not expecting so much from these mods,

I dont know if the turbos are stock or not but I am sus about quite a few things ...dont really know whats going on but, at least I know now what its running at, and that the engine is in good nick.

Yeah Danooh got good power too..

yeah i know they are deadly in the wet!!!they seem desperate to break traction and once they do they dont wanna stop sliding.

also spotted contempt on drakeford heading toward gordon yesterday arvo, came past me and gave a wave and a smile, nice seeing you again mate. you've been very quiet lately though.

love the plates too!!!!!!!!!! TMPTNC!!! fantastic!!!!

Yeah that weather was bad, i was all over the shop in my cruiser. i took the skyline out for a spin this arvo and although it was still slippery, the skyline has so much better handling and control.

one thing i did find, i was driving along and i hear this strange wacking noise under the car. it goes away after a while, then returned on the way home. i got under the car and there's a loose cable hanging there. now i'm assuming its a handbrake cable, but my handbrake is still working. are there any other cables that run under the car along the driveshaft?

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
