They still ra nthe Shakedown but were only allowed to run up the hill, not down and then up. it's claimed a few cars over the years that tree. Both 35's were looking do today through both stages i did. Ben and Russ really seem to know how to push the car, going very hot into the chicanes too. caught up with them after the competition today, 2 of the nicest blokes you will ever meet :-)

Ben and Russ has a minor off today, and the running-people-over bonnet popped up. Looking at the car you wouldn't know it had been off the road (now the bonet is back down). Appart from that they are going great, just wishing for r comp tyres, the std ones are quote "shithouse"

hey you know that they've been trying when they have to get pulled out of a ditch.

Kel and Tony are in 6th, still not really happy with the tyres or handling either but at least they are giong a long way better than at Targa.

Is it still going to be wet tomorrow Ben?

Toyo are supposed to be releasing an R Comp (R888's) for the R35 at the SEMA motorshow in November apparently. I must say I've never thought the Toyo's were much chop on heavier cars like normal GTR's but given these were pretty much specifically designed for this car for the US market they might be ok (and surely will be better than what the options are now).

Anyways despite the small issues it sounds like from the text mssages that the boys are having some fun so thats all that matters.

There are a bunch of Evo 9s kicking around in the country with Ralliart TMM (Team Mits Motorsport) style stickers.

Different one from Targa roll over.... that was Rod Salmon

My car, I sold it to Rod

Good stuff....Kel ended up coming home in 5th which I reckon is a pretty good outing.

Rus and Ben also made it home (9th) although I hear there were a few white post casualties on the last stage - then again who hasn't knocked out one or two of them :wacko:

And funnily enough the DK R32 came home equal 5th with the DK R35. I guess the old nuggets still go OK too.

      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?
