Ill bring some TAS footage.

Also im selling some stickers if anyone is interested.I went abit crazy at various tuning shops and bought alot of stickers!

I have TopSecret,Mines,Nismo,HKS,URAS and other bits and pieces including a Greddy oil cap,TopSecret keychain,Mines keychain and Nismo radiator cap.

Prices start from $10-$30 for stickers

Greddy oil cap $65

TopSecret keychain $20

Mines keychain $30

Nismo Radiator cap $70

See ya there.

Sounds like fun, I'm there! :(

Cool :P See you there!!

Sounds like you went to a fair few workshops..will definately check out your various stickers :)

hey dave dont peddle your goods without giving me a looksee first lol. Come to my place and ill give you a ride out. im still driving the thing, not entirely sure its busted yet ,still feels smooth so i dont think its damaged the motor itself, and i have pulled all the crap out, so i only worry about it detonating for airflow-mismatch reasons, which it shouldnt do as timing is backed off slightly and it only gets putted around.

bolted the exhaust up properly today. much quieter :P

No probs Jeff.Im sitting in the lounge at Osaka airport,they think im some businessman so are allowing me to use their computers and giving me all the food and drink i can take lol Cant wait to get back to C'town(i cant believe i just said that)lol

I want my 33 back! Seeing all the jap spec skylines are giving me some cool ideas.

i didnt know there were skylines in japan

cant wait to have you back here dave! it sucks not having people to play cars with. pull your finger out rob haha

Every place i went to,to get parts for my car,they just say "ECR33 not popular,dont stock" lol

Ill be doing alot of playing with my car when i get it back.Motor out,build,new turbo kit.Its all happening!

Good news.My car might be out of the shop by the weekend.Hooray! Have to put some bits and pieces back on it though(Jeff) as i thought the car wasnt coming back.I also had a visit from a courier today who brought me a BIG box of goodies. :P

Guys should be have a back up meeting spot if its going to rain... *fingers crossed it wont*

I know undercover is hard to find but maybe Macarthur Square

Or anyone else that has any ideas..post them up please :blink:

Just as a back up plan at this stage :D

Got an idea Jess!

If raining, meet just down from there where the Macca's is (just on the other side of the freeway) stay there or we could take a cruise down to Picton Hotel for the afternoon and chit chat there. They also have a fairly big car park out the back.

What do you all think...............................?

Joe

Ok Peepz.

Looks like i cant make it this round. Family commitments and i cant get out of. *poop*

But hopefully there will be another meet soon that i can attend.

Ill see what time we get back and give Jeff a call to find out what the situation is at the time.

Maybe you guys (and gals) will have a long night and i can turn up towards the end..

    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side
