My spies tell me they saw snowman today and he got 240@all 4 on Sti Dyno...

PS: My spy "mate" got 210 in his Black Sti 03, with the stock wing. But be careful coz in two weeks time this thing will be pushin around 250@all 4...

Spewing I didn't come down, would have helped if I knew about it :) I jeard a Monaro got the highest with 250kw??

The rumours are false!

I went down to say Hi to Brandon (beefy) and Cazz and a few others but didnt run my car on the dyno.

There were a number of great cars down there - some very impressive STI's, the Oz delivered yellow Nismo S15, a JDM interga, and a whole lot more inlcuding some skylines. It was my first visit to the facilities at STI docklands and I must say its a very impressive set-up.

Meshy - the event was posted in the events section. Maybe you should look in there one day! :)

You should have stuck it on Andrew. Did the monaro really get 250atw then? I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next one... should be fun, by then I predict a blue R34 with Nismo LMGT4 clocking around 450kw at all fours :( that'll stick it up the WRX hoons :D

Dont recall seeing a monaro - but a Falcon GT got 240 I think. I wasnt there for long to be honest which is why I didnt run. Had other things on that day.

There were 2 new black STI's - both were awesome.

And stop exagerating what Im doing to my car! Your going to dissapoint a whole lot of people at this rate! lol

highest reading i saw a rex produce on the day was 196rwkw and that was after cranking in an unsafe amount of timing.

You sure there wasn't a Black Sti 03 with a stock WRX boot wing on the dyno that made 209kw?? For some reason it doesn't suprise me my mate is full of sh!t. Always bragging how him and his mates beat GTR's... but they could'nt come close to me when I had 270at the rears.

I'm not totally sure as i wasn't there all day, if snowman's had a very short haircut then i was there for about an hour after he left. Speaking to people that had been their since the early morn no rex's did over 200. It was Vinny's personal car (black sti) that i saw run 196 after he had the luxury of playing with the timing - then reset it to a safe level b4 leaving the dyno. Vinny told me there was a tough GT (XW or XY) that ran 225 odd in the morn.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
