Haha that's hilarious!

Are you taking your own car to the track day? My 33 runs out of rego this Tuesday so I won't be taking it, but I'll keep an eye out for your car :thumbsup:

Hmmm... Start it up and jiggle every electrical connection under the bonnet and see if you can get it to happen again.

AFMs, Ignitor, CAS, O2, Coolant Sensor, injectors etc... If nothing then check Fuel system. ie. Pump is ok? Electrical Plug, Filter, Got Petrol in tank?

Just food for thought Eric to start with.

When I put a Bosch 044 in the 33 I earthed out the pump wires so the pump always ran at full capacity rather than dropping to low speed at idle etc.

It Definitely ran stronger.

If you still have the Factory pump in there, maybe it's time for an Upgrade. :yes:

Just a question to those that have had an unregistered vehicle permit for a day before. It says on the rego.act website that you may need an inspection report of the vehicle if applicable.

Has anyone actually ever needed an inspection report before?

Cheers

Never needed one for the UVP. Had to get one when I first brought the car in from Japan in both SA and ACT jurisdictions. It's usually just a piece of paper from over the counter. I was told though that the UVP was only good for driving the car within ACT so had to run the gauntlet briefly to get it over to ESP which was only a few 100 metres outside of the border.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Chris.

Yeah I did notice that it is for ACT only but then also noticed on RMS it says "NSW recognises permits issued in all other jurisdictions provided the vehicle is operated in accordance with the conditions of the home jurisdiction."

But then I suppose to the ACT UVP conditions are that its for the ACT only anyway, so catch 22.

My car runs out of rego on the 20th and because I'm between jobs at the moment I don't want to pay for rego when I've already got my daily rego'd. We've got this track day on the 24th :( I'm thinking I may just go halvsies and hire a car with another guy again.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
