Congrats to Sam + Stace for taking out top honors! Was good fun, sorry I left before the end but sleep started to set in Nice work by the rest of SAU too, I think everyone set new pb's?

Next week I want a shot at the title! Yeah everyone did good times, did Sam + Stace bring home the bacon for SAU?

Nah, blame the car... or Brett. Goddamn it I think Brett made me bend my shifter!~

Launching is a bitch, I can't even do a burnout!

Evan cannot be saved, he's in a VL!

Has it been a gradual decline or all of a sudden? Have you had the car long or did you get it like that?

I don't think it's truly sorted, but I have got no mo' time to muck around with it for DC. Might continue developing it, but don't want to spend any more time on the damn thing! Sooo tired

It's sorted. After another 2 hours on the dyno it's got some very different figures... Sorry no dyno graph. I am so tired I forgot to take it, I think I left some tools there too. That 300kw run was never to be repeated, I think that came about by spiking the shaft speed late, by fattening up the midrange it took 20kw away from the peak. Having said that, it's got 280kw from 5500(?) to 7500, flat as Kate Moss. It couldn't make over 1.2 bar boost up in the rev range, spiked at 21psi @ 5000ish and tapered off as it kept going. I'm a bit fuzzy so the rpm's aren't exact. Will get the graph to compare, but Brendan the larger -> the more potential. There's no way the .73 could keep up with the mighty 1.12!

Steve: It has the middle muffler taken out, it's basically a 3 inch all the way with only the canon at the back. No idea about spring rate, or the diameter off hand. Oh and it's a screamer pipe (sounds pretty funny with a different note when it goes above 6500-ish rpm) Sideway: Yeah, 264's would be better. This car was assembled late at nights using parts lying around the garage, they are the only RB25 cams here. I think the tuning work was good, but I am looking for a very steep curve for that turbo kick.. hopefully the SBC will fix that. Can't be assed working out wtf is actually wrong with it, have no time and the SBC looks like it will be a big bandaid with the least amount of time to install.

Tah Phil, I forgot to mention the tuners - it was done at Unigroup by Judd's pimped out tuner. I was impressed by the amount of additional features were on the software - Val and Chris @ Unigroup were genuinely nice people, even staying up way past their bedtime to finish it off. Jimmy is pretty good at tuning too, would be great if he could set up shop in Sydney permanently! While the guys were trying to pack up and close the shop Jimmy was still hard at it, trying to get anti-lag working well - would definately recommend the combination of Unigroup + Jimmy on a PowerFC controlled car.

After some last minute, late night shenanigans my car finally got back on the road (after 6 months sitting in the backyard). What should have been a quick tune turned into a 6 hour adventure, with the std GTR injectors maxing out, then a hidden CAS ground wire becoming unearthed and not being discovered for 90mins (we thought the CAS died, and were awaiting a replacement to be delivered). There was no EBC fitted as I wanted it to be wastegate only, but there seems to be some funky problem with the wastegate holding boost - even wound in fully to 1.2 bar. Car's mods: Custom spaghetti low mount turbo manifold HKS 3040 .73 A/R Trust type R wastegate Greddy plenum Aftermarket metal head gasket (unknown thickness) Q45 t body + AFM Trust 115mm intercooler Sard 700cc injectors HKS 256 + 264 reground copies (have a master now, can do these at will) Full 3 inch Nismo exhaust, no center muffler Will be setting up an SBC ID 3 tonight for another late night marathon, the car was detuned from this run to cope with additional boost, and more low rpm boost as well.

I'm going to try to enter the AWD6 category then But I still don't know if the car will cross the line /

RARRRR now you tell me!

Thanks for the help guys, the problem was that I was connecting the active three wires on the loom up to the wrong connector on the throttle body - logically I thought the active connector on the t body was the one directly mounted on the shaft, but it's the loose one that is hanging off the throttle body!

Stores that are franchised (i.e. not company run) pay a ton for fuel, they get rebates from their "overlord" company based on the prices that other local petrol stations are selling fuel at. The best off servo's are independants - they can pick who they want their fuel from and can get quite a bit of leverage on price, getting fuel at below the price other (affiliated) stores can.

Not just any ol' strap-on.... a 102.2 mm diameter one!

Have a PowerFC, have been using it to check voltage signals. Can't find my multimeter/ Have a set of Work Equips in 17in here if you need to check it out.

Heh that sounds a bit.. err.. fetish. You should do it, then post some pics on the net

Argh! After spending the better part of 3 hours trying to wire up a Q45 throttle body to an ECR33 I give up! Does anyone have the correct pinouts to wire it up? Or can someone with one currently on a car have a look + see how it's been connected? The only results I have gotten from mix and matching is either the ECU won't turn on (shorted out) or the voltage is displayed inverse - at idle it's on 5V and works it's way down as the accelerator is depressed... or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't seem to find a QH45 wiring diagram either..

Go Go B-man, maybe we can have a grudge race? Will be pretty funny.

I faxed the entry in last night, and the money is already deducted from my c.card - so I guess I'm in. Now to actually get the car running... go the late night backyard job!

Hey Marvin, what diameter, thickness rotor do they recommend for these? Why doesn't the soarer get them?

Great that it's finally all together, and more importantly you're happy with it. So, how long before you want more power?

Cool, I'll enter then

If I don't beat Brett the 1st time out then I guess I'll have to commit seppuku with a frisbee. . The shame, the torment... the indignation! Edit: This is a smokescreen for the fact I did all the mods myself, and have no faith in the car holding together even just for a burnout.
