Hi y'all,

Just wondering if any of you guys are heading over to the rally of Canberra, I'll be there for the weekend and would like to catch you guys for a cruise and all that.. Should be a few out I'd think (there sure was last year)..

Is rally a dirty word on a skyline forum, usually associated with a rival company ??

Well i have good news, well for me........I've been in Sydney for the weekend, and having breakfast at Ash's caffe yesterday on the northern beaches we were joined by some good friends of my brother, one of them does alot of work for Rally in ch10 motorsport, and he was kind enough to offer me to go around with the ch10 camera crew for a day, which means i'll have unlimited access and for the most of it, i'll be standing on the side of the road watching the cars fly past me, getting within a couple of feet!!!!!

Sorry but i had to rub it in! lol.

meet me at 123 Fake street......knock not once, not twice, but thrice and a an elderly gentleman with a limp will greet you at the door, at which stage he will issue you with further instructions. dress warm, bring a canteen and if possible some sort of weapon, when it happens, you'll know why!

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
