RIP
The more I read about the EJ the more I cringe 
I mean the Focus RS was the other option [emoji14] 
But the rumble is good!


Oh, the 205 survived and is still running last I was told of not long ago.

You have 255, you’ll be fine.

When that happens you've pushed too hard or royaly f**ked up.

 

What happened in the second? Looked like lift off but then the ripple strip kind of pulled you in like a vacuum lol

Spins are such an oh shit moment, buckle in for the ride ?

The line i tried to take was a bit tight and i lost the rear + probably a few km/h too quick without any rear wing. Was lucky to get away with that. I used to try take that chicane at 160-170, after that i revised my entry speed to 150-160.

The first one was just a few km/h too fast and too much kerb, luckily the front left wheel was still on the tarmac and provided enough grip to flick it the other way.

Was that with proper LSD Billiam?

Kerbs are not really your friend on a racetrack. Not really. They do stuff like that more often than they don't, every track has a couple of 'safe' ones and yeah the rest uh.... avoid to .. avoid stuff like the above happening!

Would dispute the more often than not. Ive done a few hundred laps around Sandown over the years and i only climb the kerb on the right of the chicane and the kerb at dunlop corner (last right). Have spun once due to the kerb and it was more a combination of too much entry speed and too much kerb.

Anyway less car talk, more wasteland.

Kerbs might be a problem when you have 11th million KW.

but when you have little kerbs are your friends, cutting corners and using outside corners to catch sideways momentum = faster lap times.

I think the slipperly concrete outside of final turn sandown is about the only one I don't touch.  


11-15% fee for bidding?? Why wouldnt the seller cop this fee, not the buyer?
Is it repo or something?

It's the same at all car auctions, pickles, mahinnins and such do same, all auctions I've watched in US are the same,

It's the same vintage scheme NRMA to RACV, and I'll no doubt lose it come time to renew. People in the insurance thread have been complaining about their insurance refusing to renew etc. People indeed f**ked it up, insuring pieces of shit that got stolen or written off and now they won't touch them on the vintage insurance schemes. They base the savings on the vehicle being a weekender and spending 1/4 the time on the road as a daily driver. What they didn't account for originally is the rate at which people become detached as owners of these cars...

Renewal just came through on my 33R - 350 premium now but still 30k agreed without engine. Thought they were canceling these policies for Skylines...not even gonna challenge the figures!

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
