I am feeling a bit bored. Maybe I'll head out tomorrow night in rwd and give it a go. Need the practice. First time and all.

It's a bit tricky to get it off the line quick. It just wants to spin the wheels on stall.

if all geos well ill run this saturday see what it does very keen to improve on my old time

I would be keen too but I will have a car here to work on. :(

Tuning the 76 tomorrow night, I can already see there will be improvement, hopefully the top end is the same or better too.

Do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

Couldn't find you after Rudi, you must have Taken off. Well done on the pb.

For the first time, it was a steep learning curve! I lol'd at myself for doing single spinner burn outs. Oh well. :P

1st run was a 13.96 at 100 mph so I was happy to be in the 13s / 100s right away. Nice feeling. Second run was a mass of wheel spin off the line and a 14.8 lol. Tried too much stall.

Last and best run was a 13.84 at 161km with a 2.2 60 foot. Found that I could only launch with a bees dick worth of boost, like1psi. Otherwise it was just instant single tyre frying!

Look forward to getting the front shaft in and shooting for a 13.5.

Nice work guys!

Well done Alex on a 13 first time out! Time for that LSD and the front shaft; there's obviously a fair bit more in it with some stall and more traction. :thumbsup:

I'd really like to get out next Wed if anyone is keen; would've loved to go last night, but work gets in the way...

Thanks Dale.

Rudi, I parked up and went to watch some cars. Those ford turbos really boogy. The PAC rotor was good to watch too.

It was a great feeling reeling people in down the track. The start was slow, but all the cars I raced I reeled in down the track. Just the feeling like it was over so quick too.

Good work Alex :)

2.2 is very good for a heavy car with a single spinner. Shows the 3.5 has the torque to move the weight.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
