how did it manage tailshaft problems?

Welcome, don't see many 4 door 32's around. Don't be shy to pull up and have a chat. Just look for the big white sticker on the window with CG's performance works on there.

Who's going test and tune? Cash money up for grabs and it's the second last meet for the season. Hoping to make it out there myself. Numbers are important in both people racing and volunteers. So if you haven't got anything planned for the 12th which is a Saturday from 1pm onwards come out and have a couple runs or help out the officials.

Holden rodeo there on Plumbago Oscar. I believe he owes Carmelo a bin too. Nearly rolled it out the front of my place, must've thought his rodeo was a race car.

They can't take cars just from complaints as if that were the case a lot more cars would be taken off the road because of peoples "grudges" or "dislike" for certain people. They will need some sort of proof to back up the complaints. Photo's taken by residents or catching you in the act. If your only driving around casually it won't affect you anyway.

Agreed, funding is a really big problem though. Nobody has a budget big enough to build a track on their own and getting people to attend current events is hard enough.

Nope, you still require proof. Just happened that this resident had what was required.

They also had photo's and a witness. So not just a phone call fortunately. Nothing can be done from just a phone call, evidence is still required. And the driver was a well known drifter in town so it's not like he was just showing off for mates.

lol, depends how much you really care I guess. It's not really not going to make much difference really tho

Nothing a bit of time can't fix cam. You've been pretty patient so far so it should go pretty well. No racing for me this weekend as my manifold hasn't arrived yet. I'll be out on the 13th if they still run that test and tune, if not then it'll be the following bracket. I know what it's like to find engine mounts missing bolts BK, I found mine with one missing and the other only hanging on by a couple of threads. Last tome I allow someone else to work on my car. That is the main reason my manifold cracked, the twisting of the motor caused the wastegate pipe to hit the chassis rail while the engine and exhaust was a full temp causing the pipe to crack and split wide open. $1200 later I've got my problem fixed.

Trust manifold that is mounted to now would be a good design and quite nice for a more mild amount of boost. The stainless steel manifolds are quite well known to crack like mine has. So I have ordered a steam pipe manifold from Kyle at 6boost. This will ensure I will not have to replace it again as they come with a lifetime warranty against cracking or defects. Good work on getting the motor and gearbox out.

Track is becoming a good place to hone your technique on getting the car down the track faster. New manifold is getting ordered this week. Gains from their design is said to be spooling 200-400rpm sooner and 6-15% more power. Can't wait.

How was the oil supply over looked when the engine was built to start with? I don't know much about 26's, although it'd be Russian roulette with nearly 5 times the factory power to happen reliably with the factory sump on any car. Seems like a good opportunity to see if there is anything else that could be improved.

Good stuff on the fast times from everyone this weekend. Bit of bad luck for Fabio and Ben, hopefully it can all be sorted without too much hassle.

I can hear a street driven GTR challenge coming up. Stay tuned kids.

I spoke to Andrew Cole today over the phone and scrutineering won't be any different to any other meet. So whatever you normally do to prepare your ca for racing is what will be required on the day. Hope to see you out there Ben.

New gearbox is in. Time for some racing

I heard something about another accident that only just missed a small pole

you going to sponsor me some race rims and street slicks?????

I'll be at the 1320x, my car should be back on the road next week

Put a few on youtube there is another one of oscar but it was still processing

Good, didn't get too many photo's mostly videos. I'll post them on you tube.

Congrats to Oscar, best burnout and a new PB. Turned out to be a good day.

who is going drags on saturday?

Heard on the street there is a new owner of a white 180sx in town. Congrats Benny, should be good to see it progress.
