Still downloading my photos off the memory card. Somehow managed 1.2 gigs of stuff.

Like the others have said, huge-rageous thanks to the JEM boys for hosting such a great night. The atmosphere was fantastic with all those great cars and a look-see at the cool components that make up a high power build.

Also thanks to Terry and Matt for putting their cars on display as well. I'm always amazed by road cars that are kept in such pristine condition (makes me glad to park at the back of the lot).

Yup, they couldn't do enough for us :)

And quite a few of our cars go to JEM - rightly so!

This was an interesting night, and I was impressed by the professionalism and accurate answers from the JEM guys. I hadn't been there before but will put them on the list for future.

On the other hand, it was great to arrive late and miss the 4th performance in 12 months or so from the "why you should spend $15k on internals for your street car" sales pitch from Nitto. Their gear is excellent....but only 1% of people need excellent.

Thanks for putting this event on team :)

And an SAU Member 'Adopted' Car that has been here in Oz since 2003 as a new personal import; but never made an appearance at SAU Events until Legends Night November 2011.

Very few SAU Members have ever seen underneath her before - so at JEM, we and they welcomed the opportunity. :3some:

You Duncan have been just as dynamic in putting things on when you were Prez :yes:

And you in fact set the ball rolling with these Tech Nights by engaging National Tyre Wholesalers' Tech Night last year. That won't be forgotten!

Great to see all you SAU Members last night :3some:

Our quota was full - umm overfull in fact with one gatecrasher who'll remain nameless.

A very informative night. Big Thankyou to JEM and SAU for putting the night on.

I had never been there before, but will keep them in mind for my next build, as their knowledge and wanting to make sure the customer is happy and going in the right direction in their project, is something I look for in a workshop.

Thanks to JEM and SAU execs for the great night. I was the guy asking too many questions about circuit cars -sorry!

I also found Nitto's pitch interesting, learnt a lot about forged internals etc. It was also interesting that he didn't mention any prices which I found amusing. Hopefully I will see you all again at the next track day when my car is up and running :)

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
