Intake manifold gasket fixed, booked in to finish off the E85 tune next week...

Now just to reflash the wideband to read E85 properly, swap brake pads, install the catch can and do an oil change.

Giggity :D

Boooooo :( That sucks, the cyls which killed plugs I'm guessing?

Yup

likely going to have to pull the head off to diagnose what went wrong

Couldn't get a refund and can't transfer the entry, and SAU dont do another round with circuit club this year. le sigh

Take your daily :P

Took the emo out to PI the other week, was feeling surprisingly good around the corners.
If I fixed up the brakes and put on some decent tyres it'd be a monster, and still completely stock :/

Still not as fun as the skyline to drive though...

http://www.circuitclub.com.au/page/faq -> What is the cancellation Policy on my ticket?

Looks like they do allow cancellation / postponement in exchange for a Circuit Club Credit Code... I don't see why they would say No to this, then you could just do a different circuit club event later in the year...

I ended up getting a refund :)

See you guys in a few rounds!

Looks like I'm out also for this round, still waiting on parts :(

how did you go about getting that refund, just a simple email?

I'll be leaving at 4:45am (for a S.E. Meet point, I will swing by Burwood Highway / Springvale Road Dan Murphy's Carpark at that time if others are coming too...), then meeting a few others at Wallan BP Outbound (~5km past the "Wallan" exit on the Hume) at 6am.

Express your interest now, or I'll just drive straight there :P

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
