There'll be a million pics mate. Last year I managed to secure a spot on the friday prior (practice) and enjoyed some good door to door dicing with the Group A cars :) Was great fun, lots of smiles.

But as is the usual with my luck, the memory card was full during the best session. :(

Come on Craig, mate, six figure car with $5 camera? All that time and money spent to enjoy an icon and to remember it all with sound quality like that...... is a shame.

Permanantly mount a V-Box or something high quality with muliple angles, decent sound, and map/date overlays would be more befitting.

I hope I don't sound harsh, but I'd like to watch the footage in full rather than turning sound off. :D

lol.....I haven't recieved the Camera for the in car yet.....hopefully on the weekend.....I'll post up some inside stuff...with good sound!

So were any Sierras running. I was hoping to get some shots of undercarriage. I got some pics of an Eggeneberger at Nurburgring as they were running in the Old Timers festival. Would be a dream to own an Aussie Grp A car and to take it to the festival. Lol wish I coud afford friends R31 :)

Yep, a couple of Sierras running....... in fact i saw the Peter Jackson liviered one parked on the back of an old truck up the road from my house on the saturday night, on a main road!...... they're game, because it was something like a mid 80's Ford Trader, and not a good one. I reckon you could have pulled the door open and used anything to turn the key! haha

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
