Ah man but you'll get to drive around in an Evo soon yeh?

Yes and No.

Depends on when a good car comes up and if I can get it at the right price.

Always a poor showing from us ;)

So poor, even when people have expressed interest to do something on the weekend, nothing happens :P

We need your guidance our Great Leader :worship:

I advise we all pack up and move to coastal areas where the car scene is still strong! Sure they've pretty much killed it off in the retirement village of a town we live in a.k.a Toowoomba but I know for a fact she's pretty strong / unchanged in other areas with shitloads of day/night cruises and meets every month! Some of the coastal/interstate fellas on my facebook do runs and meets in their liners every week!

Need to move there peeps....that's what I'm doing. You can come back to Toowoomba when you're ready to die / chase kids of your front lawn :P

Toowoomba could have a good scene if we were motivated enough to do cruises

Ah Chris, I've talked to a couple peeps about it and what it boils down to is that the guys are just too scared to take their cars out around here. You see all these nice rides during rush hour but t-bar is pretty much dead on a sunday afternoon these days (where a couple years ago there would have been plenty of JDM and american/italian muscle out and about. They're scared about driving around in a convoy and even more nervous about hard parking. It's sad hey?

I wish things were different.

On the plus side though I did get my wheels done so now she has 4 glossy black shoes! Now we just need to spray the Silvia black and then it's photoshoot time if anyones keen for a bit of a pose ;)

Might be getting a professional photographer later in the year too (speaking of photos)...some of ya's might be up for a groupie! He's that Hackenberg guy / NPHO on facebook. Killer photos!

Conversely, stories of the 5oh being tougher on simple things like front mounts, bov's and pod filters in brissy/GC, are well versed. I am sure there would be contingent in these areas that feel just as paranoid as you do, Tom.

I went for a nice putt on Sunday arvo (cause nothing happened :P) and don't recall seeing one cop car and have never had a drama with them for a long while.

I used to go everywhere in the old girl and only got pulled over once in 4 years here in tbar.

That was for suspected BOV cos he heard the flutter. They were nice and let me go shortly after a visual check.

Don't be an arse and don't do silly things = no trouble from nobody :)

BTW, saw the Clint mobile going down Hume bout 5pm today. Just turned onto Hume from Margaret in the "new old girl".

Looked very clean and understated...just the way you'd want it to be these days for all you paranoid peeps LOL

Going to scope out 3 evos in Bris tomorrow. Hope they live up to expectations :thumbsup:

      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?
