yeah well i have nearly 3weeks to get her back on the road, so all should be good, i hope?

the most likely case is that ive just fu**ed the battery and a few wires. theres a good chance the alternator may be good, and a slim chance ive scrambled the ECU.

it was my own stupid fault for crossing jumpers. but its just been a nightmare lately but when it rains it poors right?

i called my mate Dave (head mech at f&f imports) and had a chat about what might be wrong, if it is the ECU im gonna replace it with a power fc or microtech.

its weird my car is getting faster and more powerfull, not by choice but because shit keeps breaking and im getting more powerfull parts to fix it lol!!!

its out at Everlast now and hopefully i'll hear something tomorrow. and the damage wont be to severe, but i did enough to fill the entire car with smoke.

im not sure what they plan to do about the damage, but its bad enough to need a respray but at least the fibreglass should be able to be repaired easily enough, i might talk to Jerry out at JRacing about it and c what he thinks.

in all fairness to them they were very helpfull and friendly(both the drivers and the office) but i just hope it all works out!!!

oh, just over it eh? gonna go buy a skateboard instead i think. :)

haha, fair enough, i wound down the window to give you a wave, then realised i wasnt driving my car, so i didnt bother lol.

i kept forgetting i was driving an automatic, so i was constantly trying to change down gears and kept using the footrest as a clutch by accident.

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
