and you missed the bit about the intima pads old timer lol

Haha sorry lad.

Yes was very impressed with the intima pads. I used the race pads. Didnt fade once. Could still push alot harder uner brakes but my rear diff was single pegging and would lock the inside rear wheel if the car wasnt perfectly straight

Epic. Man that goes to show a RB25 20g is a good thing, that's a good time.

reckon those intima race pads would be fail on the street for hard driving? Too hard on rotors? Poor cold performer?

I cant answer that 100% on the pads. I always do 1 or two warm up laps to get everything up to temp.

Yes td06 high mount external gate on e70 is a wicked combo. Got footage with go pro on back window but the front window was glary. Cant even see through it at all. Gaids

Makes it exciting. I loved the rush and excitement of RWD on the circuit and not caring if it got smashed up :)

VCT is now working on my gtst, i installed an adaptronic and its working brilliantly. Very inpressed with the Adaptronic ecu's.

yes, wish i didnt care about mine getting smashed up...could have a lot more fun

So not too hard tuning the Adaptronic then?...

Im setting mine up with dual maps and a dash switch to switch between fuels...

only problem is i am using the built in boost control and the map switching only does fuel/ignition...so my pulp map will just have to run at gate spring pressure..my first few laps at Wakie were on pulp @ 1 bar and I was just as quick anyway...though that has more to do with driver skill (or lack off :P) than power..i run it empty then switched and it feels soooooo much nicer on e85..haters don't know what they are missing out on..

When i drove to Goulburn I got 350kms (melb to other side of albury) and decided we should fill up with PULP...it took 47 litres :woot: not bad economy hey..I was quite amazed

So with still 15 litres or so of e85 still in the tank we were a bit concerned...but AFRs were almost perfect :yes:

slightly on the lean side but nothing to worry about , I have a feeling my petrol tune is on the rich side though...

On the way back I was on e85 again, we drove to Wodonga (just over 320kms) when it was nearly empty..i guess all the hills made a difference to fuel economy..I filled up with PULp, i think it was 55litres and now AFRs were slightly rich..but again nothing to worry about...

Speaking of hills, at one stage I climbed a Hill in 5th gear @ 1500rpm doing 50kms in roadworks..thats pretty impressive in my book,..

First I raced on the almost empty tank of pulp with a little e85 in it, Then I raced with full tank of e85 with a little pulp (maybe 10lts) in it, and never had any issues with AFRs to cause concern..

There really is no need for flex fuel sensors I believe, just safe tunes with some margin for error and make sure your tank is close to empty before you switch and as long as you have a wideband with gauge you cant really go wrong...Still, I would like a sensor though,,, ;)

All this I put down as testament to STATUS and his awesome tuning :thumbsup: I run full open loop and my cruise AFRS were spoton...

The car has had very little road tuning too, maybe 20-30mins he drove around with me..

...

Sorry went s bit off track there :blush:

All good man.

Shows how well these kando's are performing. And according to your avatar theyre great for rallying aswell :D

Honestly i was extremely impressed with the performance of the td06.

Im going to start setting the car up for more

Circuit work.

Maybe we will see a Kando at WTA next year

I don't want to say too much, but I'm actually in quite a pickle. Mass problems at home with the Mrs shutting down my operation, I need to justify spending $3 at 7/11 these days. Cant even buy a freaking can of drink. Its stressful to a point I'm pretty depressed and all I want to do is enjoy my car. Its not that she doesnt want me to have one, she just cant understand the difference between buying a 10k car and building a 4k wreck into a 10k dream.

Such is the reason for all my indecisiveness and hold up on my usual nature.

At present I'm trying to sell my 6boost and DE motor, and am in talks with Stao about a cost effective stock position low mount. Hopefully the sale of my 6boost and DE motor can fund the majority of the remaining build, then its just one more argument so I can fork out for the tune.

LMAO my girl is generally pretty good man, she just doesn't understand the point of building the car rather than just using it as it was bought. I could be worse off! But this situation is weighing in heavily at the moment.

LOL ARTZ so true man. No don't waste money on your car, take me out for desert 4 nights a week instead and buy me gifts I don't appreciate. FUUUUU

man im getting depressed just reading that lol

Finally got around to putting my car back together just need to tee up a tune with trent... Keen to see if the billet wheel makes a difference, unfortunately it wont be a true back to back as I also added poncams.

Haha thanks for the sympathy battery, keen to see your new results too! I went poncams for my SR too, woo!

LOL Simon I wish my Mrs could see that keeping me busy makes me happy :( For her just living and spending every free moment together just isn't enough!

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
