Looking good!
What's the mod plate for?

[Ian91]

Thanks mate. Mod plate is just for seats. Probably don't even need it now since I have oem seats in now but better keep it just in case lol

Nothing exciting today but since I have been having issues getting the chipped ecu to work off other chips and not having time to play with the evo 8 ecu, I am stuck with the rich tune on the chipped ecu. Did a bit of googling and decided it is acceptable to lower the fuel pressure in small increments to try lower the top end afr a bit.

Gave it a go, wound the pressure down a few psi and it has brung the afr down enough to stop the misfiring and stuttering

Call that a win...

[jake]

Well done, sounds like a good win there

[Ian91]

Thanks guys, it worked out well.

Gymkhana was on again today, raped it the whole day without any major issue haha.

The altinator belt snapped mid lap, I shit myself when I heard the banging in the engine bay. Managed to go grab a new one and swap it over between laps

My car is about to tick over 300000kms in like 70kms, never had an engine recon or replacement, goes hard at 15psi lol.

Will put more pics up when I get them

[evo-gsr]

Ha ha ha....good shit man!

[Ian91]

A few pics from the day, wasn't many photographers there this time.

Will be competing at wondai next month, this is much faster event than the gymkhana so thought it was time to update/ upgrade the brakes.

I got an autopro gift card for my birthday so that funded the upgrade.

Anyway, I swapped to the bigger evo calipers. Bought a pair of rda slotted and dimpled rotors and heavy duty bendex pads.

Need to re bleed the fronts, pedal is still a little soft.

Took it for a spin to start bedding them in, came back after a little while and there was a river of coolant flowing down the car park. I haven't had time to investigate further but it wasn't from the over flow, looked to be dripping from the front of the block, like the oil filter cooler thingo or the turbo feed/ return. :/

If the car doesn't get street driven (or driven too frequently) I found the best upgrade I did to the brakes was to delete the brake booster and go with a twin cylinder and balance bar setup.  Made the brakes feel so much more responsive and predictable.

Looking good mate. Im sure it wont be something to serious, Still some time till the wondai sprints.

Does that retain abs? Got any more info? Cheers

Thanks man, yea it's all good now, was a tiny pin hole in one of the rubber hoses off the oil cooler :/

I think after wondai I will remove that assembly and refit my air oil cooler and filter relo, only removed it because the fittings were leaking and giving me the shits haha.

Nice colour...it looks familiar.

Is it a Nissan colour by any chance?

[Ian91]
