I'm about a second or two slower than you on most tracks, I don't know how to drive yet though...

Will be repairing intake manifold gasket and switching to E85 to squash these detonation problems before the next day.

Got a wedding on the 31st of Jan, so no Philip Island WRX Round 1 for me... :( Was hoping for a late summer PI

Me too...

Wowwwweee $230 for the PI track day

Ain't so bad... its an amazing track compared to something like Calder or Winton :P

But then you also need to factor in another $75 in petrol to get you there and back, $120 (???) garage hire... PI adds up, but its worth it.

230 is actually cheap for a timed day at PI but it is a 85db day..so expect to be warned if there any loud wrx in your group..as they not going to warn their own people now are they.

that PI will not be in the MS championship as a bunch of us will be unable to attend.

but I know the guys are working on dates as we speak, with some big improvements over last year.

E85 only tune means needing to carry about 5 jerry can of fuel for the day

I see no E85 stations near PI :/

Lucky E85 is $1.03/litre at the moment lol

Filled up yesterday almost on parity, it was glorious

i'ld think you would need more than 5..

on 98 with only 2L I fill up as close to the track as I can and bring 3 cans...

and yeah no 85 near PI or winton

I have 4 cans.

I'd budget 1 x 20L Jerrycan of fuel each way to Winton or PI.

Which leaves me with only 80L of usable fuel for on the track. May need to invest in a few more Jerrys...

Still a bit concerned about fuel sitting for so long once I switch to 85... when I was filling with P100, I'd just use the remaining fuel to fill the daily over the next 2 weeks.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
