your wife drives a skyline. impressed

mine wants a damn citroen.

Well she drives it more than me... put it that way lol. Its very hard to pry the keys out of her hands when I want to go and have

some fun. Though letting her use it as a daily atleast its getting driven and not just sitting around.

She prefers to drive the line than the SLR5000. Something about being more modern comfort with "go" :) She's a revhead from way back and not afraid to use the loud pedal.

Townsville (out near Ingham)

Saw TZN33 the white r33 with the mercury motorsports stickers all over it...

Was parked round the corner from the house i was staying at in the same little estate, was a bit of an eye sore to see. As i remember it being from Brisbane and all and here we are 2000 odd km's from home and bumping into each other again... Whats the chances... :)

2nd time in a row yesterday, at the exact same spot (which is kind weird, seeing as it was on the highway).

I was heading southbound, a yellow R34 (I THINK it was a GTR, not 100%) and he was coming north.

twice now, same spot. Just north of the Bermuda street exit on the M1.

spotted my twin with (chromies + Stickers) on kessels road last nite , the look on your face was priceless ... if your on here buddy dont race on the roadsspecially when its busy !!!

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
