I may or may not be out.

I agree totally guys. It gets to the point where you just think "i'm getting pulled over and abused by the general public for doing nothing, why not make it worth it???" I hate the thought of putting anyone in danger when I drive but to be honest my mum has had a thousand accidents in her stock as a rock commodore and I havent had one in my super dangerous HPI...

An interesting point to note is that on "Australia's Worst Driver" the reality show and infact on all the "worst driver" shows from around the world, there has never been a HPI owner. The drivers are usually clueless middle age people in stocker day to day cars! I think you cause more of a problem if you sit in the left lane of the highway doing 20 kmph under the speed limit than if your in the right lane doing 20kmph over!

I'm sure we all have a rant to rant on this topic but I think my 2 cents is in.

i'm out this friday. am up for hitting the town after aswell.

i watched the same story last night, and almost started a thread about it. i'm very tempted to ask a news crew and a reporter from work to come on the next cruise with us and do a story about us, the young car enthuisasts (yes, this includes you richard!!!!), not the HPI Hoons.

hhhmmmm......sounds like a good name for a DVD!

can someone post soonish what the rough plan is eg what time u are out at the museum i will stop in if its around the time i have to go into work ****ING tape silo decided to shit itself and i cant fix it during business hours :(///////////////////////////////////////////// so i am going in at like 7:30 - 8:30

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
