I must say I had a great day yesterday at EC with my son.

It was Great to see all the race cars from yesteryear especially Winfield gtr and GIO gtr as well.

Aaaah the memories brought back were sureal just from the start on the second outing gtr took of from VL like a fury OMG that thing still goes hard as it ever did, However I'm sure it wan't pushed to the limit.

Bad luck for John Smith in the old Supra (blown piston) after recent engine/ turbo rebuild.(Mate of mine actually worked in his team on this car back in the day)

All in all great day out and I've picked up a copy of 92 Bathurst program for $25.00 bucks you got to love that.

Anyone else went???

Dave :thumbsup:

I was out there on Saturday, have over 150pics, but need about a week to sort through the crap :)

That supra was unbelievable. Obviously has been sorted out since its days as it used to be a mid-field runner at best.

Last race on saturday had the Supra and Terry in the Winfiedl GTR battling it out lap after lap with some awesome drag racing down the straight. Was amazing seeing the supra get better drive out of the last turn, but then the GTR would just keep pulling away down the straight.

Can't wait till next year, the best motorposrt event in Sydney each year, well maybe equal with superlap :)

I was on the grass at T1, so many yellow flags, T1 on the first lap with cold slicks and sheep stations at stake meant nearly every race someone came off or hit someone else, the kids loved it, poor old cars, some nice old girls were out.

Sunburned much though, balding head and no hat was a problem.

Awesome day.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
