I am waiting to see what tax man has in store for me this year after years of being severelly anally raped by him. I would like to make the most of the next few track days with the RB20 making the power it is so will hold off until i have some AO50s. That was if the engine pops then I at least had a chance of getting the most out of the setup with a std RB20...as the next step will be stroked goodness with billet bits, multi throttle inlet and 6 speed :)

Haha I quickly did my tax yesterday... $1.73 credit, was raging hard.

It still has a 20G on it at the moment but have a billet TD06L2 to try when I can get around to installing it and the tuner is a little bit quieter. Racepace are pretty busy with preparing some World Time Attack entered cars so don't want to bother him with tuning my thing until he has had a breather

so how's this going?

ps happy birthday for last week.

Nothing is going for the lil R32 at the moment. A hose under the inlet manifold let go in traffic and I cooked the engine :( Damn peak hour traffic and a55holes who think you are just lane hopping and not trying to pull off main road to save killing an engine :(

So its got a leak head gasket in No.3 or 4...cant remember which cylinder came up as the problem. Still making good power and still driving it daily...its just that it is pressuring the coolant system and missing pretty bad at idle. New engine will heopfully be in around Aus day after engine bay is sprayed and then throwing the 10cm housing on the thing, with Tomei 256 cams and back to back the billet 73HTA and Greddy 20G. Other delay was the R34 6spd that I had stripped for refresh before putting in came back needing a few too many little bits to be like new so going with the trusty R33 5 spd I hae had for years as back. up. Mega gutted that the 6 spd didnt work out...

And thanks...I feel 6 years older, not just one :(

Well after abusy few months with a new job/project and slowly re-wiring the Sierra and rebuilding its engine...I put it aside to do a few weeks of rather intense work on teh old R32. Its now just about ready for a full years of track duties.

So did some re-wiring. Re-sprayed the engine bay....did a load of other minor tweaks...and then put the 20G backl on for the first round of back to back tests provided the new engine isnt a shitter and craps itself on run in :)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
