Recommended Posts

6 hours till the A-Bomb gets fired up, I'll make sure not to feed it before I leave as I hear it's got a breakfast of RBs and 4g63s waiting for it at QR ;)

(In all seriousness though getting pretty keen for tomorrow)

Is any one staying for the mighty car mods meat in that day? If so are all the skylines parking together? Thanks

I'll be staying around for a bit mate, then heading up to the ASPA meet at willowbank

Yeah great fun, first time at the track and had an absolute blast. had a few rookie errors

100% full tank.... (left turn lateral G causing a little bit of fuel to spill out the cap... frkkkkkkk :P)

and popped an intake hose off the turbo on thye last straight.,.... (i think/hope) ill wait for her to cool and ytake to her with a spanner and a can of redbull.

Thanks for organising sucha good event!

Had a ball today,the evo club are a good bunch,hopefully they run with us again,nothing bets an evo chopping.lol,probably the best one ive been to for a while,keep up the good work guys,but i cant leave in this note,had to have another evo crack,see picture.

This is my new friend ernie the evo,so sorry but i still got to chop you.

Thanks guys had another fun day no shuddering in the steering replaced pads machined rotors also balance and wheel alignment done. Ran good for a stock standard.

good to see you again,maybe lakeside next time?

The Qld Evo Owners Group would really like to thank SAU for the invite to join you guys today. Everyone of the Evo guys reported back to me that they had a ball this morning & we would be honoured to join you guys again for other events.

One of our members suffered a major failure in the form of a suspected broken gearbox, 550hp @ the wheels will do that sometimes but all in all an awesome morning.

It's always a shame when someone breaks something at happy laps.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
