It probably doesnt feel all that different. I need to fix my wastegate as well. Its leaked at idle since i put it back on in a big rush for Dutton. Im so lazy and too poor to pay a mechanic to do it :wave:

haha I'm right with you on the lazy thing, my manifold has been leaking for 18 months :kiss:

Now it's completel;y cracked and my gate is held on with a piece of coathanger...

Yep you get 1 warning to fix the problem. So you do have a chance if you do get pinged the first time.

That makes it a little better, i didn't know you get a chance first - did Aaron get a chance?

I'm out, not going to PI tomorrow, don't wanna drive all the way out there to watch my tyres (and myself) melt from the 38 degree heat. No chance for PB's..

So looks like I'll have to wait till the WRX round next month. :)

I don't blame you. Too hot for the car, too hot for the tyres, too hot for us silly humans.

New AVC-R…Check!

Diff…Check!

Cams…Check!

New Upper Arms…Check!

Now I have 5 weeks to get it all installed and tuned. Along with 4 new RE55s. So much for the OS trip and saving. Getting to PI is going to cost 3k :(

Shoudl be fun...maybe this will be my first PI day where i actually complete a session :happy:

the more I look into this the more I realise that with the F1 event and the GOR cruise plus a few other things (new 18's just purchased) I'm not too sure if i'll have the cash to do this round.....which is such a dissapointment as of all tracks I wanted to do, this is the main one.

*get calculator out again*

this thread is classic. :wave:

i've given up any hope of making it to PI as a driver...

In order to make it I would have to get my car from completely stock standard back to it's modified state,

the calculator will not permit whilst saving for a midyear os trip...

so instead I will be launching the official team, "let's get sunburnt again, spectating". g@y :huh:

Details of the MSCA Day? I would love to do Sandown,.

Russ, they are Apexi cams and KAAZ 1.5 diff. Tyres are dead, hence i need $1600 for new ones :)

If i get a good time at Sandown i may park it for PI...i just want a good time at a track

Im giving the GOR cruise a miss... GP will be on best behaviour so shoudlnt cost too much. Need track days under my belt. My last track day was Sandown in Jun 05

I have never done an MSCA day before. I heard they werent run that well and that you may only get 3 or so sessions. Is this still the case 3 years later?

The last one I did at P.I. was pretty good, also at $160 was pretty good value.

Lots of interesting, but slow cars to make me feel better to! :O

Regards

Andrew

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
