Fixed the Front and Rear engine mounts / dampers on the SkyHatch.

The hollows circled were cracked and broken so I filled it all with SIKAFLEX and let it set for about 36 hours.

Put them back in this morning and saved myself over $100.

Solid. :thumbsup:

Swore at mine as we pushed it off the trailer... lol new radiator will be on order tomorrow!

Such a shame it happened. What's the next event you're gonna go in Kat? SM1000???

I really wanna see.

Nah I'm not even considering 1000m events until I've got a logging dash fitted and a few more safety precautions. So maybe next year for that.

Time to sort shit out and then maybe do a Sunday Street Meet at Eastern Creek in November.

Would be great to watch. :woot: Such a Beasty. "Not Good Just Lucky"

This arvo I Pulled the Fuel Pump out of the SkyHatch and cleaned the Sender for the Gauge. (Very similar to the SkyWagon)

Seems to work better so far and Hopefully will not have a big Dead Spot in the middle anymore. ;)

Bought some radiator hoses for the cressida. Moved the gtr in the yard so its out of the way more and put the battery on charge. Bought a brand new n1 front bar for the racecar. And im broke again :(

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
