Yea I will ;)

I've got power fc

The car is runnin abit rich at the moment too plus one of the sparkies isn't the best cause one of the spitfires shit itself and I had to run a standard pack for a day till I got another set of spitfires.

I dunno, prob the best thing to do is hand it over to a tuner, it's what they do best lol

And Terry nope I had no idea :$

HAhaha thats pretty funny, unintended humour is the best kind.

i wanted to say something snide and hurtful but to be honest i probably would have read it similarly as well, just not bit so quickly.

i think it helps in the NSW section that we know theres a chance we could actually meet half the people on here, looking forward to next sunday actually. Hope you sort out your retarded ECU by then and can make it along Matty :P

I don't understand the concept of a retune if no hardware was changed... if a cars health has deteriorated that far since the tune, it's probably dead.. This obviously isn't the case if you have a shit tune though.. Hard to diagnose, if it is hardware related, leaking hose, it will always have the issue...

Well I dunno dude, it's always pinged abit after the tune so ill get that sorted when i get sum time off work but this new problem only started once I changed the type of oil I use

Turbo does need a rebuild also

It could be that the ecu has a "summer" tune in it, an the ecu isn't adjusting the tune to the cooler temps appropriately and hence running flat and misfiring. And this is why a retune would help. But then you'll have issues once the temps warm up again.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
