Hey guys, an update.. bad news kinda.

Well, seemed that there has been a fair bit of work needing attention on the engine (including a f***** new gasket!!). Thus the car would only be getting to Canberra mid-this week. Now, seeing as I'm taking a break and going up to the Gold Coast for Christmas (where the car currently is) I have decided that the cost and wear on the car is not worth bringing it down here for the time left before I'm on holiday.

Thus, the car will not be here till next year!! (When I do the return trip to Canberra). Dunno if I'm coming to Summernats, depends what the turn out of skylines and mates are gonna be there so we'll see. Anyways (sry bout the length of the post), I'm going early next week so look forward to seeing everyone next year and unveiling my car. I know I havn't made much of an appearance so far, but I'll change that next year :).

Good Luck to everyone over the new year. See you all soon

You're game putting a skyline in Summernats. usually the bogans don't like their presence. i was thinking of going in the sound off only, but basically i'd rather not get the car kicked in or keyed.

Yeah I was thinking that, xept I'm planning on going with my brother and another couple of mates... a rocket VN wagon and showy VT from the Gold Coast.

But yeah, proly won't end up hapnin, I care too much bout my car... still go c the show tho :D

sounds nice :rofl: Stupid question though you say you have a 300zx turbo running 14psi would that not be making alot less power than a standard rb20 turbo ??? only reason i ask is i though all 300's were a 3L twin turbo thus each turbo is designed around a 1.5L engine ??? correct me if i am wrong

    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
    • @Duncan Random side note, did the cops give you the driver/owners details of the taxi and then did Shannons give you a refund of the excess once you supplied those details?
    • Yeah to be clear I'm not naive, I'm sure all insurance companies are a bunch of arseholes who pay people bonusses based on the value of genuine claims they avoid....I just don't want to go back to one that has personally f**ked me multiple times in the past
