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 :)

never too many questions.

I was actually a little surprised at how few questions there were.

the talks were very in depth though.

, on the nitto front, if you have to ask.....

Yes all the talks and inputs by JEM and Nitto staff were very informative. Our next Tech Night is happening in 2 days time! Heasman Suspension. I wonder if a full vid of each Tech Night should be ma

Had a great old time.

+1 for the guys at JEM putting on the night. Wasn't expecting it to go so late, but there was a lot of info to get through. Put the tech in tech night at some stages!

Was interesting seeing/ hearing tuning philosophy's and personal prefernaces.

I was going to ask Andrew about whether or not a balanced billet crank negated the need for a damper pulley kit on some cars - but Eric seemed to answer it for me before I could get to Andrew privately.

Bit shy still at my age hehe...

I did have a talk to one of the JEM staff at the end.

He himself could have given the type of talk on builds that Andrew gave being an RB specialist full time at JEM.

I'd like to hear him next time.

All the speakers were superb! :happy:

+1 thank for all involved.

The best part of it was that every answer was explained on a level so that a novice could understand. Even if a few questions were very technical.

Really well done.

I'm now more not sold on E85 for the costs. Great in a new car, but the $ to convert seems too high.

Plus, I'm convinced that once Julia see's it becoming popular, she'll slap tax's on it so the cheap bowser benefit will disappear.

Thanks to everyone at JEM and the execs at SAU for organising!

Was a fantastic night, covered a lot of bases and such a variety of topics.

Bobby's new project is absolutely incredible in person. Can't wait to spot it at the local Coles sometime soon! :)

Edit - great photos guys!

I wasn't able to get many shots in - no experience shooting cars but guess I can change that :P

Spent most of my time meeting and greeting and a big kudos to Nick for the lift home :)

As covered by other people, not many questions were asked mostly due to how in depth the talks were - very informative on a lot of areas and also the openness of what goes on too. Z Tune and "Skola Tune" GTRs were very impressive.

Wow looks like it would have been a great night, I'm kicking myself for pulling the pin, the Tom Tom said I would get there just after 9 so I pulled out thinking I look like an idiot pulling up as everything's rapping up. Looks like I missed a top night.

haha I had the same problem, was way late due to M5. On the bright side I missed most of the nitto bit :)

      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?
