Will i need the slots put back in once i get them machined? i got him to slot them last time.

no they will only take off a fraction of a mm when the machine them and Matt generally slots them deep enough that the rotors will be stuffed before you get to the bottom of the slots.

You know of any pictures floating around?

What made you want to keep the 34?

Actually i do have these pics that he sent me when i first enquired:

Keeping the 34 because i realised i kept talking myself into wanting to sell it, had no real reason for it. I mean shit, you're only young once!

Yeah your 34 is mint as gosh darn lol, good call.

Got a price in mind for when you sell the 31?

Aha, shes not a bad looker either Dan :P

thanks man, i really do love the 34.

when i fix it, the battery wont drain when its off, and all youll need is someone to wind the boost up. The Jaycar boost controller connects to one injector, and theres a few values to adjust, so its not as simple as turning a knob or pressing up. Dunno on price, still gotta transfer it into my name, throw some rego on, maybe 4200ish?

Damo when are you taking the 34 for the grip session.....keeen to take the 33 out there as well

now need to get a helmet......anyone know of a good cheapo one thats approved for the track

rofl...carsguide published my entry to try and get my wife to be a test driver for the new FPV...

My wife, Nicky has been an avid ford lover all her life, From growing up around a drag racing father who had an XA GT to nowadays owning her AU Fairmont 5.0. Her dream car is the mighty XY GTHO which with our budget is completely out of reach .I would love for her to have the opportunity to "test" (re flog) a new FPV, i believe it would fulfill one of her goals in life

heres hoping she wins

f**k yeah my GTR f**king lives again. :):);):woot:

After 9 long months of doing sweet f**k all in my driveway, never turned on... fired up first pop today! No smoke, no funny sounds, no bullshit.

Pulled off the error codes: 2 dead Oxygen sensors. Getting them replaced as I type this.

Throwing her on the dyno tomorrow for a good solid run, tune and checking of the fuel pump, etc.

FINALLY. It's been too f**king long.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
