Hi Jayce,

Wont be coming up this year :D , going to the Phillip Island Hot Rod / Nostalgia (sp?) show :blink:.  Would have been great to meet up with you all again, espically now that my car is back on the road.  A whole list of mods have been added this year and i probably would have entered the SummerNats if i was to come up.  Oh well, there is always next year :D.  Have a great weekend and see ya next time.

Bugger;woulda been good to catch you up again,Al! Have fun at P.I.-hope the weather holds out!

tryed to ring ya jayce, but went to message bank, probably too late, ohwell, have fun

I was racing at the time,which is more important to me than answering my phone...which is why I have "message bank"-to leave a message! And you're right:too late now! Meh...

o....k..... so at this stage, it seems to be, Jayce and E, Nik and + 1 i'm guessing, and myself and a friend

Yep;pretty much it from SAU,including ib6ub9! Got a few car enthusiast friends tagging along,too...

If anyone doesn't want to take thier car in, then just come to my place and i'll take u in, in the 'Hatsu.

Hahahahahaha! LMAO! "The 'Hatsu"! Now I feel like Andrew has a proper Japanese car,even when it's only a Charade! A nice "japanese" spin the way that "'Rana" is Aussie for...well,you all know what I'm getting at...

Are we driving our cars in or avoiding that will other cars!!! Not so much attention!!

Just a little "heads up" for those that want to bring their 'Lines etc;there's a car park that's usually not noticed just behind Da Cellini's in a little laneway accessed from the Ford dealership side...Just have someone check if there's space b4 driving in-it's a pig to turn around in if it's full!

Rain,rain,go away...and let us watch the cars in the dry! I'm going to the restaraunt regardless,but I have to call to see if they can still seat us under cover outside or fit us inside...

I'll be back to you all shortly...

A top night had by all,I'd say! Good food,top company and too many cars to look at=a great time! Whilst there was a huge Police presence,they would have to have been the coolest,most friendly crew I've seen in Braddon ever. I'm sure a few deserving people felt the law at a few isolated times,but it was still flowing smoothly,without the forecast street closures,violence or hoons happening,by the time we departed(early morning).Thanks for those who attended;your honesty and help making sure the bill at Da Cellini's balanced out was appreciated,and having you there was even better! Those that either "pulled a heartstring",or got "inconvenienced" on the way there;too bad you didn't make it!

Simply, just a great night!

Some incredible cars, and some seriously tricked out paintjobs, not to mention the wheels on 1 particular S2000, who's tyres were so low profile i'm yet to be convinced that they weren't painted on?

Definately an annual even from now on!

Many thanks to the few of us that managed to make it, it was great to have your company!

yeah sorry i didn't make it. had some mates from out of town in the car so i just went for a quick drive down lonsdale.

saw an audi A4 go up the back of a 70's corolla, was hillarious, even the cops standing on the footpath laughed at him. audi had no damage, and i'd be surprised if the corolla isn't a write off.

sorry i left early guys. we'd just had enough after about an hr..... plus the next morning, i came to discover that some c0ck had swiped 1 of my volk centre caps while it was parked in braddon :blink: ......

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
