Well I just received an email from the WRX Club guys asking me if I knew of a Ben Derks that has entered for Sandown and put down an estimated lap time of 1.18! They didnt believe it so they thought they'd ask me if I knew who he was and what time they could really expect! LOL

Anyone who hasn't seen this car run - it's worth coming down to watch just to see it.

Hahaha :P excellent. At least Ben's being modest with his estimated lap times! :)

Do you want to hit another wall Brisby??

Better not rain. Sandown is the one track I dont like in the wet. Calder isn't great - but Sandown is shocking.

Its rained last year at the WRX Club event and one of the guys (Vin) put his car on its roof!

Put in strong ones?

I'll at least spectate as I don't think I'll want to race the GTR (pending) ;)

Geoff, I'm assuming you bought the GTR off Josh?? If so nice buy, very cheap and quite a good car, gotta love TE37's!!!

By the way, where's my lock bar???? :wassup:

Jack, sorry mate, got myself sidetracked with the car shopping. It's hanging in the garage waiting to be packaged but I'm going right now to wrap it and put it in the o.night bag. It's just me being a slack bugger. I have 4 others to get out tomorrow.

Yeah it's Josh's car, and he's a really nice guy too. I'm still awaiting confirmation on the cash from the credit union. Wanted to wait until after I sell the house and have my own cash before I bought but this is too good a car to miss. Everything is just right. Not over the top, purple, turbos done with steel wheels, not defectable, not a leak in sight underneath, good power, nicely cared for...... bloody long overdue and I think I've earn't it. Still be keeping the 33 BBQ but selling the 33 auto.

Cheers mate, but the track car will remain the RWD without abs and other aids.

Had a long chat to Ben today and he said nothing about Sandown. He did point me toward a possible reason for the 25DETT having problems, but I have to pull it down first. I'll be there to watch him demonstrate why rex's are considered a toy.

Just checked the listings on the wrx forums and i am down for driver training!

I am looking forward it, very exciting for me!

Just called racebrakes for some pads and i am having some RB74's for the front and comp 2's for the rear delivered.

Still gotta pickup a fire extinguisher and fix a slow leak in one of my tyres and a few other bits and pieces but will get there!

All i can say is ... TRAITOR! ;)

lol, you beat me to it, im up and down over a friends car in NSW, too good a buy to pass up, but its still a way too expensive toy for my tastes, so at the moment its going to take the R32 burning to the ground or a good cash offer to convince me the R33 GTR is the way to go. :confused:

Hmmmm I've always wanted a GTR33 so this is reward for lots of hard work over the years. (Who said that??? Shut up!! I do deserve it.) It is unlikely to go to the track though. Maybe the Shep day but that'll be it.

Anyway, if anyone can burn a 32 to the ground you can.

Sooooo, who want's an auto R33???

...Troy - You've already spent the value of a 33 GTR on the 32 and i'm sure it wont be long before you set the other 1/2 on fire.

LOL... i doubt i have:) And just wait and see how popular you are when you blow Andrew's 3rd gearbox at the Dutton taking the money he has spent on gearboxes and clutches alone to well over what i have spent on my car:)

LONG LIVE RWDS :kick: DOWN WITH 4Wd/AWD SWINE :flamed:

He's not a traitor - he's just seen the light! ;)

The light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off due to budget constraints:(

Ill see how my payrise goes after tax, adn if my friends car is still hanging around i may re-visit it then...otherwise they are just too expensive for me to track:(

Plus RB26DETT + track = :Bang:

F*CK OFF!! I'm getting SBS now........ AAAARGGHHHHH

LOL..you will be right, you said you werent going to track it:)

I give you two track days, just so you try out the new tt setup and suspension and youll part the GTS25T and track the GTR:) Actually i bet you start tracking the GTR while you rebuild the RB25. Am i right or am i right:thumbsup:

For gods sake someone have a play with a GTST so i can have someone to play with:(

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
