Bugger. Woke to hard rain here in Tuzza, but looked at the radar and just a large system passing through. Hopefully should dry up by mid morning.

Yes........ I've been watching it too.

Fortunately, it has been moving quickly across.

At its current rate, it would have passed through by 9:00am.

My apologies everyone. I heard a noise at Pennant hills - it was my muffler dragging on the road. What an awesome time for a bracket mount to snap ? I sacrificed my shoelaces to limp off home...?

I was looking forward to making some contacts - next time!

Was good to see some awesome cars!!

And catchup with some old familiar faces !

Sorry could t stay my daughter was getting hungry and cranky lol

Hope my highway patrol mate didn't scare some hahahaha

Ripper of a day. Rain made the roads moist..... (hehehehe moist) but was all the more fun!!! I had not driven Old Pacific Highway in around 10 years, what a sensational bit of road......

Took a few pics of the crew too.

    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
