I can organize a car-park/location down the end of Leeds street in Rhodes after hours if we need a venue.

just an FYI though...if FW's start doing heli's or stupid shit it will stuff it for us all.

Agreed, that is something I would expect from say the Sydney WRX or Silvia club or even the Ford/Holden creatures. . . . .

Stagea owners are more refined, stylish and classy. . . . . M35 Owners more so. . . :)

Jules

my insurance company (ex insurance company) said too many claims are being made on Stagea's. Has to be the C34's as I have not heard of any M35's having bingles. And we are all too sensible to do that.

Maybe not Jetwreck with his 17 year old mental state :)

Only two sleeps to go.. :)

Then I will be a NSW M35 owner for about 12 hours...

Then I will the other VIC M35 owner on the forum...

Should mention, that I did see a M35, not blue in colour, past Fountain Gate the other week... so there are more out there..

Haha! Now only 1 Sleep!!!

and you don't have to worry about the exhaust pickup either.

Your M35 better be available for a viewing this weekend mate :)

I have seen other M35's around including the one you are referring to.

Unfortunately 2 of the 4 I have seen (other one is near Geelong, there is also one up towards Ballarat) are owned by me and my mate :D

Location is Rhodes is pretty much OK to go. I also have another industrial location thats private property in Buffalo RD in Gladesville we can use.....owner has OK'd it.

Just need dates and time people.

P.S. I have an excellent place for Photo's Rhodes at the moment...our empty warehouse!!!

an empty warehouse sounds great to me, regardless of weather etc. we would be able to pop bonnets and do comparisons etc etc.

All in the safety of a secured venue so no passers by start sticking noses in etc. where they are not wanted.

I give a thumbs up to this idea, nice one Jet!

Rhodes works well for me. . . . Sunday would be even better

Jules

I've no objection to it being a Sunday, probably a bit better than doing it of an evening.

What's everyone else think?

I could probably do either a week night or the Sunday but would have to be an afternoon. But I know I am away from Sunday 2nd till the 5th May.

Cheers

Andy

Seeming as though Jet is kindly providing the (possible) venue, I think it would be nice to wait for 3 weeks or so until his beast is back on the road.

Plus I really want to see the high flow job he done on it :D

I'm sure a few of you other petrol heads wouldn't mind checking out the work that has been done to it.

very much agreed, so if Jet provides a venue and date then we all can start to plan. .

    • I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages
    • 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 ...
