the resurfacing is complete now too! Its quite exciting to see the nice smooth new surface down. I imagine it will offer alot more grip than the old surface :D And it will be nice not to have to worry about bottoming out over all those bumps.

Can't wait to drive it to see what the changes are like. Wider run onto the front straight (and to a lesser extent the wider kink) will equal higher top speeds! I'm not a fan of the bus-stop idea for cars because it takes away one of the best high speed corners around, and will mean you'll hardly need to brake for Hungry at all. Totally ruins the back half of the track. But if its only for the street car sprints I guess its understandable. As long as the race cars get to use the proper race track its all good.

I have a friend who is a road engineer and he has big doubts about that tunnel's effects on the track surface. He said it can be done but its very difficult to compact the roadbase properly right up to the edge of the concrete, which over time results in a subsidance and a fairly big bump... here's hoping they got it right!

There's a TopGear Supersprint and race weekend at Lakeside the week before Superlap. I'm very tempted to do that with the Sileighty instead and take the Supra down to Superlap... very tempted!

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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...

      NC MX5

      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

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
