Yeah I wont be making this any more..

Car has been at a workshop for the past week having the finishing touches done before run in and power tune on my new engine.. put coolant in the new radiator today, pressurised the system, didnt hold pressure, check for leaks, nothing apparent. Long story short, during the final check before putting it on the dyno for run in, checked the sump and its full of water..... game over, out it will come. So f**king over it.

Its worse considering the parts list behind it and how much has gone wrong along the way. Dropped so much money on this thing and have seen no benefit to date, its really depressing. Think along the lines of sleeved SR with 90mm CP pistons (2189cc..), tomei cams, rb25 box, gtx3071r, 740s, z32 etc etc.

Ill try have it ready for the next track day.

cheers

There is a meet point at Caltax Bolivar for anyone interested at 7:30am - leaving 7:40am SHARP (unless I am late :P )

I will have $1.50 cans of drink for sale out there (Coke, Zero, Fanta, Creaming soda, Lemonade, Lemon Squash, Passiona) , as well as some $1.50 muffins, lamingtons and donuts for those with hunger pangs. More substantial meals are available at the Mallala pub and the IGA/deli in Mallala.

See you all tomorrow for a big one!

all ready :D

Well I am all good to go. Just have to fill the car up and 3 Jerry cans tomorrow morning.

I will be at the meet spot :D

Just haven't changed the brake pads as I am not confident in doing them myself. I have seen it done a fair few times just don't have the confidence to do it atm. Hopefully the current pads will last the punishment. There is about half life left in the pads up front and same for the rear. I have a brand new set of QFM A1RM's with me that I will be bring out to the track and hopefully someone can lend me a hand in changing the pads if need be :D Also hoping that 3 jerry cans will be enough.

Looking forward to this track day :D

Guys, just a quick note to clear any confusion regarding deposits.

The club pays for the track day regardless of who goes or who doesn't.

It's very easy to say that people dropping out last minute won't lose their deposits because it can be automatically applied to a future track day, but imagine if half the entrants did that??

Who then pays for this particular track day?

I hate to be a pain here but we need to be realistic.........if your are dropping out for whatever reason, please try and get someone to fill your spot.

    • 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.
