Looks awesome driven over a bump yet

Does racing around a track and running over apexes count?

Actually the front right very slighty rubbed on the screw holding in the inner lining of the front drivers side. I bent it up with my hand (good old ally guards) and she was sweet :)

Would have though there would be epic guard v tyre at the rear

Nah I tested it before I took it out, got 3/4mm clearance to the rolled guards under compression (jacked it up front front corners). Plus add some tyre deflection under cornering would add a few more mm clearance

So had a fairly big week last week with the car, went down to No Limits and broke my lap record for a street car with a 60.19 which is within 1 sec of the best qualifying time the Group-A cars did back when they were racing. Also so close to a 59sec lap which would be a huge barrier for a street car.

Also managed to take out the latest round of the State Speed Event Series which I don't think has ever been done before in a registered car, let alone a closed car. The competition in this is significantly better than your average time attack so I was very happy with the overall and class win

Any more action lately? I havent been able to stalk with no updates :P

Well did round 7 of the State and came first, one round left and I've almost got it in the bag. Have to come in top 15 to win the series (worst I've come in the dry is 2nd).

Also did Powercruise on the weekend, first year I have not broken the car which was good and managed to come 2nd in off street drags. Lost to a 32GTR with 3.4L GTX42, Holinger and ET Streets

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
