It was a pleasure for me to be one of several timers this morning and I certainly look forward to Pics & Vids as I'd prefer them to do the talking. :)

But let me relay to you the 3 things I could smell...

1) rubber

2) clutches &

3) testosterone ;)

Lol

Was great helping out. Timer equals front row seats so close I got hit with flying rubber every so often. Car of The day the drift spec 180 shredding the tire which tread was flown up and over the bonnet.

Massive thank you to the event organisers and officials who volunteered their time - made my first Texi experience very enjoyable. Got a couple of videos ready to upload but will wait for the wrap up thread. If anyone has other footage or high res pics of my white 32 GTR PLEASE PM me so I can arrange to acquire same.

Made a hasty departure when the weather arrived but picked up at least a dozen empty aluminium cans on my way out. Hope the clean up wasn't too massive.

Thanks so much for letting me and my taxi have so much fun. For my first attempt at anything like that I had a ball. Everyone was very welcoming of an odd Ford. I had no idea I could take so much tread off brand new tyres so quickly and still smile. It was very well organised and everyone was so nice. I do wish some other clubs were as efficient and friendly. Thanks again.

    • 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.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
