yea in Canberra just now, I was entering an intersection beside a white VE SS ute dumped on 20`s with no exhaust, the light went green and he just stomped on it sideways around the corner and fish tailing all over the place

Typical douche I'm talking about.

Seriously what is it with average falcon and commodore drivers going 'oh he has a skyline, he MUST be a drifter!! This'll impress him!!' And kicking the arse out? And if it's wet the problem is 100x worse.

I used to just laugh when I'd encounter above mentioned twats

They'd speed up to site beside me and either free rev it next to me or quickly on and of stab the throttle to do a rolling bunny hop I guess you'd call it to try and show me who's boss lol

The fact my car was as loud if not louder than most worked 5.7 or 6 litre's I'd be a) worried about just my audible noise stabbing it in the city and b) when it rails 23 psi through a 2 inch stainless screamer pipe on top of that isn't to inconspicuous lol

End of the day they would be staring trying to sus out what was "wrong" with the car at the lights once we stopped with the twin plate rattling away and the external fuel system whirring away lol never got sick of the puzzled looks

I love it when a 20 year old nissan gets down the main straight at eastern creek overtaking a BMW v10 M5,

Or when you round up a "fully worked cuzzy bro" HSV GTS 325 around the corners, and the driver sheepishly waves you past.

Then the drive back through the paddock, with the commo drives trying to figure out your car while the clutches in the diff make like the rear end is going to fall out! Lol.

And that's why I love the track. The road, I couldn't give a toss about.

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
