I wish Wakefield and eastern creek were in GTS lol
Bathurst is the only Aussie track int he game
Can get them in Assetta Corsa (via download) on the PC (not console) 
 

I think it was in grid on PS4 they had Sydney Motorsport park

[Jasoncauser]

Maybe Grid2?
as I had Grid and dont remember SMSP on it?

This nearly seems affordable (sorry about the small thumbnail, @PranK still hasn't fixed the image width size)

you know thats only the base?
no seat, wheel, pedals etc

Yeah I know - full kit will still be less than me blowing up another motor LOL

Making myself a temporary DBW patch harness.

It's nothing pro or club level, just amateur level stuff. Pulled apart Narva 7 core trailer wire and bundled up what I needed.

Still figuring out where I want certain sensors and looms run. 

Also, repurposing the old AFM and O2 wiring into an EMAP. For some reason I was under the assumption the power for the AFM is sensor +5V, clearly it isn't so have repinned the narrowband O2 input as a +5V feed for the pressure sensor.

And another update, working hard today at work 😂

Can't tell if using a trailer plug is dodgy AF or genius

What pedal are you using? 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

And done, finished after my son went to bed.

I'm using a V35 Skyline pedal, I did have Z33 350Z one but I didn't like the alloy pedal and wanted a stock looking one.

ok sweet

Look at you go makin stuff!  Good job! I might go rob the neighbours Triton to war and make my own! 😂

The Asian in me didn't want to pay some auto electrician to make a temporary harness 😂

Future state, will plan out where I want everything to be, and how the cables will be routed and then will pay someone to do the full loom.

FWIW, Narva 7 core trailer wire comes with slightly smaller cable (2.5mm diameter) compared to Narva 5 core trailer wire.

A bit overkill for sensors and a DBW motor still.

 

[Shoota_77]

overkill is pretty much always better than under doing it when it comes to wiring!  Are you running the pedal wiring back across under the dash to the ECU and then out through the firewall or are you running some of it straight through the firewall at the pedal to the DBW motor?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Wiring is going across the firewall (cabin side), then the TB wiring will come out the grommet driver side and then out through that hole where the brake master cylinder is.

I thought about using the throttle cable hole but the DBW TB plug wont fit (unless I de-pin it).

Following Haltech's instructions I ran all sensor power from the pedal & TB back to the ECU side. I've seen some harnesses where sensor power goes from ECU to pedal, then pedal to the TB. I can't see a real issue with that - however better just stick to what Haltech documents to avoid any issues.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Oh hai, I'm sure someone will ask, "why didn't you get I-Beam connecting rods?"

Simply put it, I'm not after 746kW at the wheels. There's 0 desire for it, so these Manly H-Beam connecting rods are perfect for my requirements. Not to mention they came out unscathed from cracking a block in my old motor.

Pretty excited, should be up and running soon enough 😁

 

[No Crust Racing]

So is it not cool if I bought I Beam? 

To be fair I have 2 less cylinders to work with so need to work them harder

haha yes! simplified calculations puts each of your rods at 125kW, where as for me 83kW  

 

[No Crust Racing]

you reckon im gonna make 600kw flywheel?! 

faaaark

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

So does this mean I can sit on the limiter all day?

 

[No Crust Racing]

Not even billet?
