Did you end up entering the tour Snowman?

Yep sure did. Am looking forwards to being up there and concentrating on the festivities side of things!

:blink:

BTW - apparently a new Tarmac Rally was announced yesterday in W.A.

Targa South West. Sounds promising although slightly confusing. Its running under CAMS but to AASA Targa regs or something!? LOL

Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

That's the thing about Buller - the weather is always going to be one end of the extremes.

But as for the event itself I'll give you a little tip.

Don't leave the road! It's a big drop....

:D

And definitely don't do a Heskin! LOL

One tip, clutch stabs! Oh, and DON'T bin it at the right hander on the concrete in the township.

Well I've put the thing up for sale so I figured I may as well try and have one more good time in it before it finds its way to a new happy home. :D

Well I use it as my daily right now and that's basically all I use it for. Generally if I want some fun I take the R34.

So I figured it's wasted in its current life. Plus I'm also coming to realise that with me doing all of these interstate rallies etc that I really should look at a tow car for the R34 rather than just driving it everywhere I go. So I've had to make the hard decision to let the R35 go unfortunately.

:D

holy f**k just getting up here was an adventure. the stage will be a blast but tonights drive up was a shocker. wombats in the mist! couldnt see a bloody thing 5m in front in the fog (lucky kel had pace notes, no idea how she can read and make sense of those things in the dark). not to mention if we stopped the ute it never wold have got going again on that hill.

anyway here in 1 piece now, just need to sort out everything tommoz

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
