Still waiting the phone call for the engine. Yavuz has one of my JUN cams for a little bit of "R&D". More on this later on :D

However a Precision 6466 CEA Twin Scroll 0.84 got ordered today. Didn't see that coming hey mate ;). Nor did I two weeks ago! Haha

that was definitely out of left field, I thought for sure you would say twins, but I've seen this sort of thing before, first it's a big single then it's No2 and before you know it there is a 3.0 on its way :yes:

I agree... All I can remember is .... -5's -5's....

In the end it doesn't really matter... Just don't take too long in making it drive again. Have the car off the road for too long while changing too many things and you will lose the passion for it.

Or worse, You'll do something really silly like spending an extra $30-40K on it, and then end up selling it!

Oh i know, but when a little SR is beating your -5 graph both down low and up high with one of these things, not to mention Jez's result it's really saying something.

If it's a huge flop then nothing is stopping from bolting the little baby -5's back on.

No N20. It's not "street legal" :woot:

If the 6466 is too big i'll just pull it off and buy a 6262 or 6266. Keep that turbo for Motive DVD event's.

it's only illegal if you get caught, :yes: I notice there was no denying the eventual possible use of a 3.0 though :whistling:

This is exactly what my god brother did back in the 80s as I remember as a kid. Built a HQ monaro with a blown 454 and in the end after spending a lot of money as all parts were from the US - he sold it in parts. All he had to do was assemble the thing.

Paul - good on ya for going single. You are chasing top level results and I'd it means using a single, so be it :)

Don't sell your -5s just in case.

Nah Marko. The 5's and all the pipe work will go on a shelf in the garage all wrapped up. The condition is that this precision must beat the -5's in all areas!

Jez matched the -7's with a 6262, you'd think I can match -5'a with the next size up.

Also, spoken to Yavuz about engineering it AND passing emissions. That was another 'condition'. Both he said would be no problem.

pop the bonnet please sir..........

Should sound sweet :D

The first day he drives it out if UE with a single he'll get pulled over haha

Hopefully not (touch wood) :D

Let's get this beast on the road!!!

Narrowed down what manifolds to use Paul?

Lol. Don't say that man! Yavuz said he will engineer it also.

Not yet. Can you only get full race manifolds from the states or is there a local distributor?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
