and you missed the bit about the intima pads old timer lol

Haha sorry lad.

Yes was very impressed with the intima pads. I used the race pads. Didnt fade once. Could still push alot harder uner brakes but my rear diff was single pegging and would lock the inside rear wheel if the car wasnt perfectly straight

Epic. Man that goes to show a RB25 20g is a good thing, that's a good time.

reckon those intima race pads would be fail on the street for hard driving? Too hard on rotors? Poor cold performer?

I cant answer that 100% on the pads. I always do 1 or two warm up laps to get everything up to temp.

Yes td06 high mount external gate on e70 is a wicked combo. Got footage with go pro on back window but the front window was glary. Cant even see through it at all. Gaids

Makes it exciting. I loved the rush and excitement of RWD on the circuit and not caring if it got smashed up :)

VCT is now working on my gtst, i installed an adaptronic and its working brilliantly. Very inpressed with the Adaptronic ecu's.

yes, wish i didnt care about mine getting smashed up...could have a lot more fun

So not too hard tuning the Adaptronic then?...

Im setting mine up with dual maps and a dash switch to switch between fuels...

only problem is i am using the built in boost control and the map switching only does fuel/ignition...so my pulp map will just have to run at gate spring pressure..my first few laps at Wakie were on pulp @ 1 bar and I was just as quick anyway...though that has more to do with driver skill (or lack off :P) than power..i run it empty then switched and it feels soooooo much nicer on e85..haters don't know what they are missing out on..

When i drove to Goulburn I got 350kms (melb to other side of albury) and decided we should fill up with PULP...it took 47 litres :woot: not bad economy hey..I was quite amazed

So with still 15 litres or so of e85 still in the tank we were a bit concerned...but AFRs were almost perfect :yes:

slightly on the lean side but nothing to worry about , I have a feeling my petrol tune is on the rich side though...

On the way back I was on e85 again, we drove to Wodonga (just over 320kms) when it was nearly empty..i guess all the hills made a difference to fuel economy..I filled up with PULp, i think it was 55litres and now AFRs were slightly rich..but again nothing to worry about...

Speaking of hills, at one stage I climbed a Hill in 5th gear @ 1500rpm doing 50kms in roadworks..thats pretty impressive in my book,..

First I raced on the almost empty tank of pulp with a little e85 in it, Then I raced with full tank of e85 with a little pulp (maybe 10lts) in it, and never had any issues with AFRs to cause concern..

There really is no need for flex fuel sensors I believe, just safe tunes with some margin for error and make sure your tank is close to empty before you switch and as long as you have a wideband with gauge you cant really go wrong...Still, I would like a sensor though,,, ;)

All this I put down as testament to STATUS and his awesome tuning :thumbsup: I run full open loop and my cruise AFRS were spoton...

The car has had very little road tuning too, maybe 20-30mins he drove around with me..

I don't want to say too much, but I'm actually in quite a pickle. Mass problems at home with the Mrs shutting down my operation, I need to justify spending $3 at 7/11 these days. Cant even buy a freaking can of drink. Its stressful to a point I'm pretty depressed and all I want to do is enjoy my car. Its not that she doesnt want me to have one, she just cant understand the difference between buying a 10k car and building a 4k wreck into a 10k dream.

Such is the reason for all my indecisiveness and hold up on my usual nature.

At present I'm trying to sell my 6boost and DE motor, and am in talks with Stao about a cost effective stock position low mount. Hopefully the sale of my 6boost and DE motor can fund the majority of the remaining build, then its just one more argument so I can fork out for the tune.

Hey Jas...

less moaning more building man. :rofl:

But I feel your pain bro, chicks hey!!! They don't seem to mind if we spend 10k on a useless piece of metal to put on their finger and inflate their ego do they..

LMAO my girl is generally pretty good man, she just doesn't understand the point of building the car rather than just using it as it was bought. I could be worse off! But this situation is weighing in heavily at the moment.

LOL ARTZ so true man. No don't waste money on your car, take me out for desert 4 nights a week instead and buy me gifts I don't appreciate. FUUUUU

man im getting depressed just reading that lol

Finally got around to putting my car back together just need to tee up a tune with trent... Keen to see if the billet wheel makes a difference, unfortunately it wont be a true back to back as I also added poncams.

Haha thanks for the sympathy battery, keen to see your new results too! I went poncams for my SR too, woo!

LOL Simon I wish my Mrs could see that keeping me busy makes me happy :( For her just living and spending every free moment together just isn't enough!

    • Indeed. Mitsuoka always did their magic on various Nissan models, but because the Nouera was going to be in the medium sized sedan class, they decided not to try and modify the 2004 P12 Nissan Primera because it looked too modern combined with the 1940's styling. It would contrast way too much so they went with the more suitable CL7 Accord... 😆
    • It's also funny when an Australian company is boasting how their warehousing is USA/Europe...      
    • Hi People, has anyone come up with a way of getting non-driven wheel speed on a R32 Gts/gtst? from what i've seen the RWD R32 didn't look to come with ABS, if they did i can't find a rwd ABS front knuckle anywhere. is it a case of putting a S14/R33 front knuckle on and then modifying the ASB ring to suit a ECU input frequency limit? or have people managed to get a hall sensor onto the back of the hub and pick up the wheel studs?   i've searched but there isn't anything that I could find.
    • I was thinking about a hoist, the ceiling is very high, but half the garage has a half-height loft for storage and I dont think I'll even be able to jack the X5 up under it as it almost hits me in my 6'5" elevated head when i walk in there. And, yeah nah, maybe if I can convince Bec to let me get another car she'd be open to having as many as we can fit (cough @Duncan) but until that time you better steer clear! 🤣
    • For the sake of cost comparison, I’m currently embarking on putting a new 5 speed into my R33. I imported a new RB25DET gearbox from Japan, which was about AU$3.3k delivered to my door. It was a very slow process (~2 months) and I got extremely lucky with the exchange rate. The twin plate clutch I bought was about AU$1.8k. I've also had to buy all the additional parts required to convert the gearbox from a pull type clutch to a push type clutch. Total cost is about AU$5.5k, so GTSBoy is pretty close to the money.
