So, in the event of rain, shall we postpone or just suck it up?

Suck it up, I need to practice my rain driving :P

After the hillclimb yesterday my tyres are exactly how they were before I entered, even though they were spinning 90% of the time... that's one hell of a way to save money on tyres :P

right back at you.

Yeah heaps :ph34r:, though I can still take victory as its my car :P.

Oooh , r34 , specs?

Its a pretty much standard R34 (stock intake/exhaust/internals), slightly lowered (Tien S-tek springs), nistune ECU @ 175kW, RDA gold slotted/dimpled rotors and EBC greens.

diff is fixed, thermostat is replaced, tow hooks on, battery reloc done, killswitch nearly in, oil flush tomorrow, car is pretty much set! yay! bring on 61's! gonna skip past the 62 lap time mark :-P i got a certain red starion to beat!

yep nice , out of curiosity , what sort of power was it making before the nistune? i only ask because mine feels rather soft (it probably isn't , but the last turbo car i had had 200rwk+ ) , that wouldn't be the silver one i see getting round claremont-ish now and then? .

I might even bring my black snotter out sunday , see if it's faster than the hq pinch.gif , i'll see if i can find smaler diameter wheels for it :blush:

Sunday 14 August

Min 4

Max 13

Morning fog.

Cloudy. Patches of morning frost in the north. Areas of morning fog. Light winds.

Sounds like the perfect day, hopefully no rain but some nice low intake temps for your turbo charging pleasure :D

Yeah, I'm out Austin's Ferry way so that'd be me. It was about 140kW standard, ~ 150kW on 10psi pre-tune.

yep cool , i live out that way too :) , i thought they'd go a lil better than a stock 33 , mine seems about the same as one :unsure: not that i've revved it past 5k :happy:

what a day hey!

Huge turn out, met lots of new people.

Did anyone manage to beat their old PB?

I know Tim got a 68.

Dan got a 72 in the 33 and a 69 in the 34

Leesa got a 76 in the R34

Old mate in the starion pulled out an awesome 61.3!

Funz you were hovering around the 63 mark yeah?

Thanks to everyone that gave me a hand today with my very sad skyline (especially toffy for lending me his car\trailer).

.... I guess I have heaps of bits to sell now if anyone needs anything :P

Might be curious for brake setup and 5 stud conversion for my S13 maybe, or even the motor. Just waiting for the sale of the 4 door.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
