I couldn't make it to the 'plex tonight, but I was on the phone to a friend during your second run and I got the good news as it happened :D Congratulations!

I hear no one stepped up to take the stock cooler, stock turbo title. C'mon fellas :P

Chris pretty much just drove it off the line the first time I think, the second and third he stalled her up a bit.

I dont think the 13.389 guy had a clue, he basically said that its the way it came in from Japan and he's only had it a while. He did mention that in Japan it had some extra stuff that was taken off, like the front mount.

Oscar did a 13.67  silvia Ks after a burnout on stockies

His best before hand was about 13.9

Yeah it works for some. The problem is that some street tyres will lose 'chunks' when they get burnouts done on them and of course they get 'inflated' as they get hot so if you don't run a significatly lower pressure they end up over-inflated at the take off.

If I can manage to get down there tomorrow I'm going to try 19/20psi and burnouts to hopefully get less than a '15':D That is if my super cheap 205 rear tyres don't lose chunks of rubber and I don't drive like a wally.

Sure will. Everyone knows that the intercooler goes bad if you don't keep it in the fridge:D

I'm really only going down to beat everyone who lines up next to me (or at least try), going for times is not a luxury I can afford as I will be going straight from work and my boot will have the usual 100kg or so of crap in it. Besides I remember racing at Ravo's and the best part is having a 'legal' race with another hoon and having specators (even tho they say nasty things about how slow you are at least you can't hear them).:P

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
