Had a great day out at a cold Collingrove today - with the intention of shakedown runs prior to Time Attack Round 3 on June 13th. Recently, the car has been upgraded to run 'corn gas' with a new set of ID1000cc injectors from Tuff Car Parts, and fuel system mods thanks to Pete and the guys at Autosport.

With a massive thanks to Martin and the crew from Willall Racing, the car picked up 50kw at the wheels with 3 psi less boost, which is most definately noticeable on track! Fitted with a developmental Willall Racing upgraded braking package, and the Mt Alma Mile-spec wheel and tyre package, I was able to pilot the angry beast to a CLASS WIN, testament to the excellent support from the previously mentioned sponsors and Major Sponsor Willall Racing.

I am looking very much forward to running Mallala in a couple of weeks.........

Awesome work Andrew - I was getting excited just talking about your car last Friday at Willall's - can't wait to actually see the beast in action. What was your best time?

Far out mate, you dont muck around. Only the other week you were saying about some upgardes coming and now BAM, you done them all. Well done and congrats.

I'll be there one day in the near future.

Cheers guys - the car is really coming along nicely now thanks to many hours of work in the cars' Secret Development Headquarters (which also doubles as a shed - how 'bout that!). I've got the tyre warming sequence on camera, I'll upload it soon as I get some time. That and the crazy in car. Cold track, medium compound slicks and lots-O-power didn't make my life easy for the run up the footpath to the top! thumbsup.gif

Bit better than the piss weak amount of smoke from Alma hey. Good work on the win, I'll have a look at the trophy when I'm over next. This car is going to be really one to watch once its all sorted and your new wheels finally arrive!

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
