Yeah, back now... for a little while. Was over there for work, so not too much play. Its hard when everything happens at 2am! Little Blighters definatly stay up late. Did see (or hear) the scooter gangs roaming around.

Toyota Chasers/MkII's seem to be the popular choice on the island. Saw heaps of them. Stacks of skylines/S13s too, but most of them just NA models sold to US servicemen thinking they were getting fast and furious.

Anyone going to Calder for Gymkhana World Tour?

yep, got 3 cars heading over by the sounds of things.

Stagea

RX8

Evo 6.5 TME

prob going over on friday night and drive straight to calder for the show :thumbsup:

Yeah, my bad. I didn't think it'd sell out that quick!

Whats your plans dude, i ended up getting friday off, but i still can't leave till mid/late afternoon.

Are you getting a motel or crashing some random place?

I was figuring a motel or something, happy to share the love around :3some:

Figure we need to get on it shortly though, before it gets booked out.

I'll probably leave early Friday, want to get over there as fast as possible and relax!

well my wife is coming too, so i'm less happy to share the love around(unless of course she is asleep):whistling:

we shall have discuss the plan at the stagea cruise next weekend.

Give her some roofies... that'll give us some time to ourselves... :cheers:

I still have to work out who is coming with me, then I'll book motel or caravan park. Cabin is fine with me.

cabin close to the track sounds good, we won't be getting there until after midnight, but i wouldn't mind staying sat night too, then bail early for a sunday drive home.

    • I have a 6 boost manifold and it has loads of bends etc. turbo has a cover however manifold doesn’t so I started to wrap what I could without taking turbo off. Very restricted area   are you stating wrapping could lead to cracking weld? Is that because heat is retained?    i have a exhaust gas temp right after turbo and it hits 700degree or 800 at times.   there are areas which is impossible to reach with fibre glass cloth. Is there anything I could apply such as the photo shared earlier which would formulate around exhaust pipe in difficult to reach areas, sort of like aluminium foil flexible to shape it in place?   i think from earlier reply you mentioned acl? Is this what you meant?   https://www.nstparts.com/product/acl-heat-shield-700x275     photo of my engine bay   https://ibb.co/9grHsMN https://ibb.co/bXC8KRM https://ibb.co/KV3kGZc   I am trying to cover bottom of the exhaust manifold which joins the turbo. Only way is to take turbo and possible manifold out as it also touches the engine mount which I don’t fancy doing
    • So....I managed to fix the belt coming off problem, but unfortunately i destroyed my oil pump. While testing and hitting my rev limiter a bunch, my oil pump took a shit. I actually heard it break. In my great wisdom i decided to hit redline 5 times (original plan). Lowered it to 7500 for the soft limiter. Normally it would come off on the first go. The 6th time I hit the limiter the pump broke and as i began accelerating again and hit it the 7th time, oil pressure dropped and the protection kicked in. It actually made a "tink" as if i dropped something hollow.   The motor is pulled and should be rebuilt and put back in 3 weeks. No bearings were spun and i could have gotten away with simply replacing the pump, but since i had to pull the motor....might as well build it   I made a billet tensioner and the belt stayed on without getting frayed. I also made one for a friends R33, but I was thinking of using a hydraulic unit to keep constant pressure on it when the belt stretches.
    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
