Hey

I was listening to radio a couple of minutes ago and they had a commercial about Autobarn in ringwood. It said they are having some competitions on the most riced out cars and then the largest cruise. They named it the autobarn drag day?

Anyone have any information about this?

I dropped by to see the autobarn competition. It was pretty bad. They had a tent where two cars parked under, an excel and a lancer with evo bodykit, then they tried to get the loudest dB reading. It sounded like the cars were about to fall apart. The excel was trying to blow his speakers to get a trophy, he only reached 150db. Not many skylines there. Only saw one white s2 skyline with a For Sale sticker on the back window. The rest of the people had VL commodores with shiny stickers.

Did anyone else go?

autobahn will be having another one of those 2 day discount 30% off everything... very soon. My little cousin the studd "enimen - look a like" is in the ad which is supposed to resemble some new Enimen D12 Clip... so maybe hold off on the motul oils till then and stock up.

Wondering in which autobarn will this sale be going on at??

my friend and i were bored tonight. so we decided to just drop by to have a look at some of the cars at the cruise tonight. we got to autobarn ringwood, and there was 1 marked cop car, and 3 unmarked cop cars which had stopped a few vehicles. and a couple cars had their bonnets open for inspection....

and i agree that mccr events/cruises are a little out-of-control. but they do sometimes bring out some sweet rides too

yeah well i actually went along last night, for half of it, don't normally go on Mccr cruises, thou was quite a few skylines there, one or 2 34's, bunch or 33's and a few other 32's. Nicest one i saw was probally a mint Blue GTR 32, went pretty quick too.

but yeah as u mentioned inark, there was quite a few idiots there ripping skids everywhere they could. they are the ones that ruin it for everyone when the cops come putting yellow stickers on everyones cars.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
