Wtf...2 of the boys I know got the grouping email but I haven't yet. I entered a week before them...what to do?

Hey Matt,

The email I got with the grouping has a phone number at the bottom. Try 5766 4235 and see if you can get through to Adam.

Cheers

Good times peeps :thumbsup:

Hey Jack...too embarrassed to run the emo under SAU were you ;) How did you find the emo compared to the real race car?

LOL, not at all mate, just happened to be good timing to attend this trackday at Winton...

Well what a day! Was worried about the weather but it turned out to be a nice sunny day, until the clouds came in at about 1pm and the temperature dropped considerably, rain held off though. Was good to catch up with Troy, Matt (femno) and crew, Martin (emts) and John (ssxRicho). Congrats to all as I'm sure everybody got a PB today.

Was quite anxious really to see how the Emo would go, especially since I've only driven it around the block near my house as it isn't registered, so today was a day to get out there and drive the car in anger for the first time. After spending quite a bit of time in the last 3 weeks getting the car ready it was time to see what it could do.

To say I'm impressed is an understatement. I was aiming just to get used to the car as I have never driven an Emo before, so would have been happy with a 1:38.

So to end up with a 1:35.5 I guess I could not ask for more, especially since the car has a standard motor with standard turbo running 219awkws on e85. I wanted to concentrate on the handling so some Tein Ra's were thrown at it together with a Whiteline rear sway bar. Setup the wheel alignment settings and heights and that's pretty much it. Got some 2 piece project mu used rotors and some new pads and the brakes didn't miss a beat all day.

In all seriousness for the money I've spent it's much better value than what I've spent on the GT-R. Emo's are highly under estimated and are a lot of fun around a track like Winton. I do suspect though at Sandown it won't come near the GT-R, power falls over after 6500rpm.

All in all a fantastic little car and look forward to seeing how far I can push it with current mods...

No doubt Winton is heaven for EVOs, but a good car punted well will be quick everywhere! They do look mint in silver, and to think it was havinga ew problems but was still so quick. Even with only 2L you put me into the shade :) But I was louder...thats all that is important

and with a damn nice note to boot Troy. Glad to see you actually got to enjoy the thing for the whole day.

Had a fantastic day taking 1s off my PB in the cars second outing. Admittedly i dont mind the RWD or lack of front wheel driving force :ninja:

Jack pulling that time in your first outing is just plain silly.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
