WSID - 7th of Feb this year - Testing the auto and driving like an amateur trying to watch too many things :)

GOOD: Launching without wheel spin, how hard the 3-speed shifts, screamer

BAD: Slippery as hell converter, driving like a monkey!

MPH was down because of the converter (now rectified) being WAY too loose. No Nitrous on any of those runs either. That was all about learning to drive the auto, testing the converter to find out just how loose it really was and practicing launch techniques with the footbrake. MPH came straight back up to 117.34 with the converter change (tighter/lower) without gas.

Nice vid, good quality :laugh:

Was that rx7 stock? Is that what they run stock 13.8?

Will be great to see a vid when you have everything sorted :nyaanyaa:

I've got no idea who it was in the other lane or what they run from the factory, sorry. You're not the only one that can't wait to see a sorted pass! :nyaanyaa:

Video is great quality as supplied by Madman from Cackling Pipes - link in my sig.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and yesterday I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
