Well, another Texi done and dusted. What a cooker of a day.

Super big thanks to all the stewards and helpers. The day ran so smoothly and I noticed lots of improvement from the entrants as the day progressed.

It would have been hard NOT to notice my maiden flights with my new drone and camera. It was a testing session and I've learned quite a lot that will help me improve aerial footage for our next events.

Here is the test footage:

Now, I saw a lot of cameras out there too. So lets see those pics and peoples stories in here.

Thanks to all that made the day possible.

Apart from the heat, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The new rules were enforced and there were times I crossed the line a little bit, but if it means this event can happen again in the future, I’m all for complying.

Track time was aplenty. I found the limits of the cooling system on the little RB20 after a longer than usual session on the track.

Aerial footage is great and plenty of driving talent was on display.

Bad luck to the blue R32! I hope the issue gets sorted!

For me, a big service is on the way with an R34 op6 turbo to go on and maybe some more cooling mods.

Was a great day and looks like everyone got in lots of runs.

Glad to see everyone having fun.

Hopefully all the cars will be back to 100% soon!

Thanks to everyone for helping and making the day much easier.

Aerial footage is great Eric! Awesome to see another angle :)

Will be looking forward to more.

Well it was my first time being a timekeeper & I absolutely enjoyed it! Seriously. I did :yes:

Even though the numbers were low, it was great seeing the competition rising as we told the times to the competitors. A highlight was when Daniel in the 86 was so engrossed in the sprit of texi that when he missed a turn, he stopped & threw his hands in the air haha.

Aerial footage & pics look great guys!

And I would like to thank the entrants in setting up the cones when they drove over one, it is greatly appreciated.

Also, lunch time discussion on sandwhiches was interesting indeed..

Great to meet you on the day, I was one of the guys in hi-vis counting down your run

tell your friends about the event too. As you can see we don't limit to skylines & we've had a whole range of cars from starlets to ford territories go out & have a run!

Was good to see you get a handle on using your handbrake.

I hope everyone enjoyed the event, hopefully they upload the timesheets soon - even though it's more for fun than being competitive it's still nice for the competitors to see the times they did overall :)

I loved seeing the quadcopter getting around even though the battery doesn't last that long!

Thanks for putting on the event guys, was a very smooth run day. These events needs to continue as they are cheap fun and improve driving skills ten fold.

Thought there would be a pic of my with my head in the boot or bonnet haha!! Turned out its just a stuffed fuel pump! When it was put under load the pump couldnt keep up, however thats why it could free rev! New one is already in and ill be at the next event i can make!!! Need to give it a bluddy run!

Cheers again all, sorry to those i didnt catch up with or say goodbye too as i had to get the car off to the mechanic for him to make sure it wasnt something massive!

Shame you had trouble on the day, but glad to hear it wasn't anything too serious

Is it a Bosch pump that was in the car?

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.

      My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By Chi-Town · Posted

      This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.

      It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
