meh my excel am the gay

i tried putting stereo in and cause way the dash sits i now onlty have half a heater.

i hate it. the only diff with it being a LE is it cam with a dashmat standard and standard it has the spoiler and rims. feels a little (don't laugh) gutsier than the others i drove though.

but hopefully at the end of yeah ill have a GSR lancer or a rex

CAM- i wouldnt call 14.1 crappy ;) ill swap cars if u want

Psiker

hope they do put a track near the airport - i may be able to attend some of these runs then - cant be fagged going down to kwinana haha in fact one of my friends has a two storey house and u can see the airplanes land from it so i'll just sit up there with my beer and watch u guys run the mile. We've already got planes and trains around here so a bit of motorsport noise dont bother me!!

yeah im more central kinda near belmont.

Nah i dont have to worry about reducing mileage - odo's stuffed at the moment anyway. Fuel costs are the main issue - then again once i get on a freeway my car is good on fuel its just the stop start it gets hungry in. Most of all after work i really dont fell like a 40min drive either way - long way to go to find out ya car has shameful times!

haha maybe once its been played with a little more - i prefer to be pleasantly surprised that dissappointed. Nah stuff to do then i shall run it - but dont expect to see it down there anytime soon. Plus im a bit worried because the more power u put into it the more things go wrong and its alright for u guys cos u have a better idea how to fix it then i do - im a bit more helpless in that dept.

Most of these guys are helpless in that department including myself, but a Skyline can withstand a decent thrashing and survive.

I can't believe I actually read all of the whore posts since I left, and some of it was actualy interesting, go figure.

See'ya:burnout:

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • 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
