That's the one!

Also can't beleive you guys use heiffer creek road as a play ground. Last time I was there it was scary as f**k. It was a goat track with semis on the wrong side of the road every second corner. Must have fixed it up a bit since then.

I keep trying to push the "there are big mofo trucks on this road" speech.... But it is a nice road just stay on your side.

I've almost been cleaned up probley 2 years ago on it

Probably not great for a convoy, some of the passes are hairy enough passing one car. A mate got bullied into a guard rail by a passing semi a few years back, the pric just kept going

Ok, how about you skirts go cruise along the warrego while us men go along gatton-clifton? :P

Single lane bumpy country roads are my fav...love powering along them sitting right in the middle :)

If your down that way again tell me ill come for a strop with you lol

The best driving roads as far as corners and scenery go are always quite dangerous....they are usual ancient and are also too expensive to build and maintain properly to begin with. Some of the cuts that they did into the stone faces on that road are pretty impressive...surprising that they actually did it at all :/

But I reckon that road combined with flagstone for the return is the BEST around here by far!

For sure Nick, I reckon Chris would be keen too....he's at expert level thru the twisties ;)

Was talking to the old man the other day - he reckons there're some other scenic locations too that he goes along for sunday bike rides. Will have to get him to spill the beans

This adds an extra level of danger given that it is frequented by trucks! Where as other drivers roads are not commonly used by psychotic truckies.

Esk - Hampton Road used to be awesome, not sure what it is like now since they did some upgrades. I think they have possibly straightened it out a lot

All of Toowoomba is quite heavily frequented by trucks - every day life for us Toowoomba-ites ;) Some of the roads / lanes in town can be an even tighter squeeze with trucks than that Heifer creek run hey...craziness!

It's alright man, you don't have to go along it Bunta haha....I'm happy to go along wherever, this one that we're talking about is just a new personal fav of mine that I'd rather go thru with 1 or 2 others as opposed to a whole cruise creeping along at snail pace

Hmm may ditch the auto one meet up and come to this, as well it cost substantially less and as my windows stuck down I think the chances of my car getting stolen are leas

Haha yeh the only one you have to worry about stealing your car is me now ;-)

Meet at HCP on Sunday at 11:30? Have some form of route planned

That sounds mighty fine to me! Show ya my new black shoes eh? She's practically a different car :wub:

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
