Ive been such a lazy bastard with this.

Soooooo,

At the end of last year, I got rid of the old powerfc and got myself a Link G4. Man this is a nice ecu. None of that silly hickup every 10 minutes. Oh and the fact that I went ethanol :P.

After jez worked all his magic the car is pushing just shy of 340 kw on 20psi. Not bad for the baby -9's I reckon. Car is now a great street/twisty setup.

Seeing as I was starting to push the standard motor I finally pulled my finger out and bought a variety of gauges.

Oil temp/pressure

water temp

AFR

I now feel more relaxed driving around haha. I also got a asi radiator from fleebay. Bolted up perfectly :). And its all shiny. I love shiny.

Hicas lock bar, wicked, we know what it does.

Finally to top off these past couple of months I finally got some Federal 595 RSR's. whow these tyres are good wet dry they aint care. Only down side I would say right now is that they are noisy. As far as wear goes, we will have to wait and see.

All in all, car is going awesome (touch wood) except for my silly castor rods making knock knock noises, time for new ones :). Pulls hard and got a 11.4 @125mph on those crappy achilles tyres I had. Wonder if I can drop it down a peg or two with the new rubber.

Now for pics

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
