Fark my car was miss firing badly yesterday gave it abit of punch on 3rd gear. Got the sparks regapped with Hitman earlier in the month but now same problem came back :laugh: Was keen on joining for this but now cant be sure the car is up to the task . .

Ye factory coils with new platinum sparks gapped to .8 Probably get them down further to .6 might help? Also so might need to check if the coils are cracked. Due date is coming closer and I hardly get time off work to bring my car get fixed :P Will see if I can just pay first then take it to Hitman for another look.

I was over at 'Gordon Levin Tyres' yesterday (Emu Plains - discount for SAU members) and he mentioned that their are 2 big race meetings on this weekend (EC + Wakefield) and said that early next week he will have plenty of Semi + full slick 2nd hand tyres for sale.

(He also mentioned that he offers a free tour of his workshop after business hours for car clubs going through all the technical things like tyres, alignments, camber etc etc for free - might be a good idea sometime in the future).

That would be GREAT!

Very very very keen to learn about camber adjustments

Well done Ben!

Yay I just transferred the money. Umm my car is completely stock and I have only been driving manual for a few months so I'm probably going to embarrass myself and get the slowest time ever. No one is allowed to laugh at me or I'll cry lol.

Time for me to learn more about cars and driving on the track :P

BWA,

Most people own performance cars, and never really understand why they bought them. You are about to find out! I look forward to seeing the ear to ear grin you will be wearing.

Well I decided before I got my car I would go in all different events like track days but just didn't know when. But I figure I may as well sooner rather than later, that way I will be really fast by the time I turn 21.

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
