dammit I left my Maserati membership card and CAMs license in my car... and the car is at the panel shop. Do you think I can submit my entry sans membership number and CAMs license number?

and Roy can you sort me out with a bonnet strap?

Cheers

Just dump in some toluene, there are no rules regarding fuel for these events so it is just cheap insurance. Anyone who thinks it is "cheating" should be presented with your balls so they can suck upon them.

thats gay i wanted to come to this in the ceffy but my pay day isnt til 3 days after...

can we come and spectate? i would put the soarer in if we still have it by then... but stuff trying to guide that boat around at high speeds on a track :D

only if the people calling me a cheater are hot woman.

Yes i know who to contact :D

Have you run yours with C16 yet??

No C16 I reckon is extreme. But I'm very keen to give the Turbomax a shot. Just about every one of the winning cars at the Dutton were running on one of the elf fuels. I think I might try the Turbomax at Sandown.

You definitely do with the C16 which is why I dont want to use it. But the elf racing fuels are not so bad. They have both the elf LMS which is 98RON and the Tubromax which is 102RON. Both will give power increases with just the fuel - but better results can be had from tuning. Mostly due to the timing advances you can put in without getting any pinging.

Have seen 20% gains in power on both an EVO and a Soarer from using the elf fuels.

How much is 102ron per litre now?

Not as stupid as $8/liter like the C16 is it?

Hmmm... seems silly to put a safety margin in with the fuel, then take it back out with the ignition.

...and that is my 2¢/litre

I didn't think fuel itself will add any more power, rather with better fuel you can run more advanced timing, compression etc. without encountering detonation.

Its the raising of the detonation threshold, which allows more aggressive timing / boost etc that will give the extra hp.

ie: If your car is tuned to run on pulp and you add a tankful of av or any other fancy brew you will not see an increase in power without altering your tune.

is there an online place where i can check out prices of things like harnesses (no not ur ones denham i want ones that will actually protect me lol), bonnet pins and helmets etc

tried revolution but i couldnt find the prices... i wanna get some bonnet pins... some harnesses and stuff before i get on the track.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
