Andy, where's the videos???? :D

had no idea what you were on about, turns out tomei call sumps oil pans? Or am I just retarded :P

Would your car really need a larger oil pan/sump? Might be a shitload of money for minimal gain... Could be spent on that exhaust instead :) Happy to be proven wrong on this, sif I know anything about SR20s (or engines for that matter)

I think its around $300 (excluding shipping) for the oil pan from who I can get it off. Heres a link to it.

dude, just get out there and drive it

there is no need for those mods for a few fun days out and about and then you can decide where to next!

says she who just spent 10k on mods for a car that has seen one track day in 2 years! lol

I drive a mostly Stock Stag ( suspension and brakes only - stock power ) and I have a ball. Stop thinking so much , get out and do. The beautiful thing about SAU:NSW , there is no judgement, just encouragement.

Thanks again for a fantastic day guys.

Had a ball, apart from that black ute making me feel inferior - next time i will have semi's and run in 4wd! (if he decides to bring the wrecksie)

quick clip of the double garage course - haven't edited the rest yet...

this is 99% true

other than one or two people who will flame on no matter how hard the new member is trying to fit in and play nice its by and large a very welcoming and supportive community.

I have been to track days with multiple other clubs and sure, everyone was friendly as and it could be that with SAU im seeing the same people over and over again which helps in building a 'relationship' somewhat but i still think its arguably a tighter knit crowd than the larger and more unwieldy groups you might find over at say the HSV club.

They dont even let you in if you dont have a factory delivered HSV (not just a badge modded commy), imagine if we tried that with SAU? we would have half the members lol

anyway back OT

only got to see the second half of the day but it was as impressive as ever, especially the 'rolla's sliding skills and Daves runway long powerslide. I jumped on afterwards for a quick attempt myself but it is clearly harder than it looks..

Cheers to Stevo for letting me have a go and then helpfully blaming my slight fail on the tyres being 'too sticky'

anyway will try and upload the few pics i took. watch this space.

heres my fbook album

some stolen from hicass, some from chookie.

a bunch in the second half are mind though

or better yet the soccer-mum showdown in the arvo when both stageas were out on the course :woot:

i didnt get any vid's myself :(

still waiting to see some pic's to :P

Oh and Pat, at least the P plater could actually do a skid.... I fail :dry:

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
