Dont worry brah... I have seen this situation before... you'll get it running again... even if you have to overnight parts from japan

But I don't have my car anymore.

Its sold to import monster lol

I'll jog your memory...

You were reported to have died on 1 May 1994, as a result of your car crashing into a concrete barrier while you were leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy.

as a result of your injuries and now crispy brown skin, you decided to hide away from all the attention as a young sri lankan man living in Australia... you adopted the name Aaron, because it was the first name in the book.

From here you continued to live undercover as a simple car enthusiast, however at one fateful sandown trackday, your raw talent simply could not be hidden!

Here you kept up with far more powerful cars including stagea's skylines, ferraris, radicals, zonda's, pagani's and mclarens.

It was at this point that I realised that I am extremely bored at work... and that YOU... MUST... BE... SENNA...

don't forget as I read on jalopnic this week

lost his virginity to a fat Prostitute at age 13..

Senna that is

I beg to differ, I wAs keeping up fine with the 240kw plus cars down the straight at sandown. It's a very under estimated car

Given above 150kph, is when they start to pull away

Even gave Scott a run for is money in the 350kw Stagea. He only pulled away at 120kph.

Hence why he bought one lol

I want to see this first hand. Not saying I don't believe you

Tonight

Your car vs say Simon/Birds

Roll on from say 70km/h. That's about the exit speed at Sandown onto the coming straight

pulled away at 120...so the start of the straight?

who doing 70 on the start there ,

I'm exiting the corner at around 100-110....

was painfull at rexmas,

got out of the corner great full power down the straight,

Chris Madden going past around 50-60 km/h faster...damn that 330kw...

you are different to other amatuer drivers martin

If you were talking about overtaking me on the straight, that's because I was trying my hardest not to let my engine lean out ;)

Really need to fix that...

Edit:

I wonder if that could have been the cause of the lower power figure on the last tune...

Assuming that a single dyno pull in 4th gear doesn't completely suck all the pressure out of the system but only drops it slowly towards the end... So the upper part of my rev range could have been running at say 80% of the fuel pressure it should be running at. If it was consistant, then that would have been included/accounted for in the tune right?

Pulling hard through 2nd / 3rd / 4th was leaning it to the point of misfire / detonation, so not a great feeling on the straight.

I THINK that the Walbro 255 is affected more by a lower voltage source than a stock pump or the bosch 040 that was in there beforehand... So if I wire up a direct feed to it with a relay coming off the ECU wire, it should pump more...

But will it also have a 100% speed whine all of the time instead of varying at Idle speeds? aka, stupidly loud?

I was more so talking about corner speed of that turn before the straight

Me?

Nah blue wrx, told me 230kw. If its false then that would explain it

My GTS-T is currently running it's 252kw safe tune...we can test this "Evo is the fastest car in the world" theory tonight...but I think I know the answer already. Short gearing means SFA in a rolling drag, unless you have a substantially higher redline than me and can carry the gear for longer...it just means I have to drop down a gear to be as short as you, comprende? You get the impression that 4th gear is fast going onto the freeway because it's probably the same ratio as 3rd in a Skyline...nothing Criss Angel about it.

On an unrelated note, there's a golf r that always fangs it past my work every day at about this time... God damn they sound sick on gear change with an exhaust, brrrrraaaaaaa CRACK brrraaaaaaaaaaaaa CRACK brrrrraaaa

That driver should be considerate and yell 'FORE!' before fanging it past your work.

How ironic that you would say that... Look what is across the road from my workplace...

Boss's Porsche Boxster has been hit a few times by stray balls...

Meh, its only a Boxster...

    • 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.
