I'd better check with the boss, but likely I'll be there. MattR and MattWhatsisname and others from the North-East area we should do a meet up (maybe at my place) and mini-cruise together.

what time are you guys going there? what time is the meeting?

I'll try to come with my mechanic (no not in my car :D ) if he's not working this weekend.

Dan, I was thinking maybe meeting at my place at about 11am or something - which will allow me to have my customary Saturday morning sleep-in, and will enable us to have a fashionably late entrance :) .... I'm open to suggestions though!

Great post Matt, to get a reaction out of me btw :) .... 9am on a Saturday muahahahahahahaha

sounds good Nightcrawler....yeah 9am is pushing it a tad cheeky Matt :)

can I have your address nightcrawler?

It would be good if you could come busky. It's been a while since I saw you guys :)

How are your exams going? When do they finish?

if you're gonna come wake me up at some ungodly hour, you'd better make sure you bring Maccas brekkie or a dozen egss, 1kg of bacon and a loaf of bread, for bacon & eggs on the barbie (like last time :D ) .... hey, why don't we do a brekkie at my place before the dyno day for interested people?!

Am I allowed to enter an XR8?

I have nothing to do with the organisation of this dyno day, and unfortunately won't be able to attend :D - but I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to bring your bog stock standard BA XR8 :)

I'm happy to cook the barbie, no-one died last time, so I must be ok at it.

BBQ brekkie at your place it is then.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
