we won "organizer's choice"

which probably had a lot more to do with Hank blatantly bribing the officials with delicious bbq than anything else

no idea where we were at the end, but that isn't really the point of lemons

Hence the team that re-entered their silvia, fitted with a not-very-fresh RD28

Dale! Angie sent me a bunch of pics from the weekend, I'll get them through to you.

Yeah, I agree, I think we won on our epic BBQ - Dale even got a fkn medal!!!

I think overall (laps wise) we came around the 5th mark.

Plans are already a foot for nect year, Dale is even going to help drive!

Update on car: 
It's blowing Fuel Pump fuses like a mother, got it booked it to get towed to C-Red for an investigation. 

Then it *might* head to the body shop.

Good luck! Hopefully it's an easy fix.


Speaking of car dramas...

So I'm trying to buy parts for my Humvee. Found a bloke in America with what I want at great prices. He says he won't ship overseas and I tell him that parts only need to go to Texas. He's happy with that and keeps talking to me.

We finalise the order and agree on the price and shipping. I ask how to pay, he says he doesn't use Paypal (maybe because of their fees or he's old, I don't know), so he says I can pay with a cheque or money order. Well mate, I'm in Australia I can't send you a fkn cheque can I? I ask about the money order, I ask if that means sending the money directly to his bank account which I've done previously for parts in America, it's fairly straight forward. Apparently not! Now he won't accept overseas payments...

So apparently I have to get my mate in Texas to send him a fkn cheque (then I pay my mate obviously) before he sends parts.

Geez! If you didn't wanna' sell me shit in the 1st place, just say so! It's a $765 USD order, why wouldn't you want it!?

Meanwhile I bought my Smart Start through someone else via paypal this morning and it gets shipped tomorrow lol.

Hopefully they can fix it without bleeding you dry!

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
