That's sick!

Doesn't bathurst finish around 6ish?

im praying your right lol :D

in other news, just finished cleaning the car... wash, autoglam pink, polish, wax x.x

Everything sorted with car...

Found to be dead alternator as te battery is not charging judt discharging whilst running!!!

Spewing as i cant make it out in the GTR.

Definately up for the next cruise tho so speeing about this missed opportunity.

Dead alternator???

NO worries, read on....

Option 1;

travel with a buddy, and use his car to charge the batteries alterativley, swapping them when getting low.

Option 2;

carry about 4 fully charged batteries with you and swap them out accordingly.

Now, be sure to have the stereo off, limit use of wipers, lights(incl blinkers and brakes), not use power windows, etc...

Most batteries have a reserve capacity of approx 1hr, with lights and wipers on, so if you limit use of electrics, and have a couple on standby, shouldnt be a problem. :D

See you tomorrow ;)

G'morning All! See you at the start. All 11 Organisers will have badges. Lots of Execs will have SAU shirts. Ask any of us for help. ;)

Safe 'n legal driving all the way up to the cinema to-day! :)

Let's make sure that no-one has a rush of blood > save it for the 1992 Bathurst 1000 on screen!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
