Oh don't worry! I'm hatching a plan!

What, are you going to borrow the Option 1 S14 :starwars:

If a certain person was not involved in this event I would have entered but a 60 will not be good enough to win so meh.........

Exactly, should be a great day! I haven't seen an entry list.

Berry's gonna bring the 32 so that'll be fantastic.

No doubt there'll be plenty of stuff to ogle at in the car show too.

I gotta get someone to drive to 34 out to display.

Get on board Ben.

I'm out.

There was 1 thing that I was not happy with when i was building the enigine, the rings just didn't quite sit right. They were a set by JE as ACL couldn't supply any rings for them. I have done 10,000 km on the new motor running 12-14 psi and have pulled it down as part of a diagnostic process. I wanted to see how the rings were doing in particular.

The bearings, bore, buckets, cams etc are perfect, the rings though, "Not, Happy, Jan! uneven ware.

I have done some homework over the last month, ACL changed the ring specs part way through the production run. So, there are 2 different ring sets for 1 pistion part number. You can't buy a ring set for the earlier spec pistions, I have the early spec pistions. I'm pretty sure they were made by ROSS in the US for ACL. Ross can supply a set of rings for us, will just take a while.

Unfortunately I won't be compeeting, but I will be watching and snapping shots.

bugger :) will you have it together for the QLD Champs at Morgan Park?

I'm looking forward to both these events. Diff's coming out tomorrow - tired of the open wheeling viscous diff so I'm planning to weld it up. Would love to get hold of a wing too, but I think I've left it a bit late.

ended up shimming the V-LSD instead. Mainly so that its still nice to drive on the road. Hopefully it works OK on the track for a while too. Should be a few tenths in that if it eliminates some wheelspin. Cost next to nothing thanks to Paul at Option 1 Garage, so I figured its worth a try. Plus it maintains my 'full street trim' excuse >_<

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
