Get them custom painted before you put them on

@LazyBrennan did

I've gone back to the NS400s for street. I really miss the bite of the Project Mu HC800s that I ran at Racewars but boy I don't miss the dust they created. Edit - and noise, also probably rotor wear but can't judge that so soon. Swapping them out is nice and quick with Brembos so you can effectively have the best of both worlds! Took the NS400s a while to bed in again with normal driving even after working them kinda hard - I didn't scuff up the pads though so that might have affected things.

Ignore all above advice Rip a big skid to clean out the existing 02 sensor Gotta be really big though, and filmed and posted here

Yeah already did just after that Way more had to go on but you can't see them most of the time anyway so no biggie.

I have wondered about the length of time it keeps readings for when calculating the average. If you never reset it does it have the ability to calculate everything from day dot? Or does it only keep results for say 100 hours? More likely it keeps a truncated average at X distance and changes it as you go I guess.

I keep it on for the secure feeling and improvement to my posture! PS Fuel consumption high = skids

Official internet diagnosis: cnts fkd

I doubt the car references the fuel level for average consumption - only distance to empty would. Going up and down hills moves the float in the tank. Surely with EFI it "knows" how much fuel gets squirted in for each combustion cycle (4 bar pressure, pulsewidth, injector flow characteristics), and the wheel speed sensor combined with the programmed tyre diameter allows the distance calculation to take place. Compare the two and you get fuel per distance. Interestingly I found before custom tuning the car reported a higher than actual fuel use. After custom tune it reported a lower than actual use. About 0.5 to 1L/100 either way. As said the only way worth checking is to fill it right up, drive and fill it right up again and record odometer before you head off. I used to write it on the fuel docket. Haven't bothered for years though. I just reset Trip A each fill up and take a bit of a look at the fuel needle as I'm driving around, say at 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 (if I let it get that low) then guesstimate. Trip B records distance since last oil change

If only there was some sort of controlled test car that you could connect and control with a real ECU to go nuts with and check what the unknown tables do (if anything), but it shuts down if it's about to blow up. Like a motor/throttle/fuel system on a test bench with some sort of attached retarder system to produce load as it tries to rev,. I'm sure it would be more complex than that though if you wanted meaningful parameters/results. An accurately computer simulated car engine alone would be a whole project by itself that you'd need a team of software/physics/engineering experts to put together! Plus you'd need to know what the outputs do in the first place so you are back to the start hahaha. Probably easier if you are willing to risk blowing engines to set up a logging car on a permanent hub dyno and stockpile a bunch of cheap wrecker I6s so they can be easily swapped out if they grenade...could get expensive fast if you were guessing a lot though, depending how cheap you can find the donor engines, and of course then there's the labour component but that's not much different to what you already do volunteering your time.

Sounds like you are looking for a new turbo anyway

Yeah I've heard of congestion horror stories. I had no issues when I was briefly using Krazy Kyle's NBN but it depends on your location and luck.

Good idea, but do it at the end of the initial meet or bring your heat proof gloves hahaha

Just to add my BF had two O2 sensors not one (thought they always had two in B series onwards?), but as mentioned the second one (post cat) is disabled in tune and now just has a bung in there. It was rubbing against the ZF pan to housing flange due to position in aftermarket exhaust and no point leaving it in anyway!

Ah bummer dude :( My last grandparent is my Aussie grandma and she's coming up on 90. Showed her the racewars pics and vids last week, she was happy for me haha. Never did get her a passenger ride in my car down the 1/4 either, she was keen but not sure if she would remember it if I took her down now. Not sure she could take the G forces!

Same, quite amusing to do hahaha

My first ride in an XR6T was in a white BA in 2002 and it was a Telstra company car a mate in Perth was allocated! Mega.

It's the gold exhaust that you can't see pushing the price up

Yeah it's great for the Barras with the big top end power! At 400m you're only just getting serious hahaha Such an epic feeling having a close race over that distance too

Yeah that's the official tool

Nup The cam I snuck in was installed in an LS3 which I also snuck in. Turbos are for girls!

Speedhunters article is online with a nice write up! http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/03/welcome-racewars/

I installed a sneaky cam in it.
