    I don't really agree with that. It's better to have the right, cheap tool to use, than the wrong, expensive tool because you can't afford the right one. Other than the basic sockets and spanners, which are wroth buying good ones to save your knuckles if they break

    my thoughts....these days you can get as good or better tyres from the less known brands much cheaper. Personally I run the 595SS Federals (and haven't found them noisey), I'd also look at falken fk452. Or generally, the top tyre in the range from any of the cheaper brands, they are a very good price/performance compromise because they can't change the top brand premium.

    hq racing is some of the best around. It's jsut a shame there are no straight replacement panels for hqs any more, they are going easy these days. And like I said, any car is quick enough to kill....we took a pulsar off the clock in the NT

    I bought my rb26 replacement through nissan parts

    does the car idle OK, or is there lots of black smoke. 9 times out of 10 this sort of problem is caused by a major boost leak. Unfortunately the other time out of 10 it is caused by loosing the compressor wheel off your turbo Do you know what the maximum boost it hit was?

    good to hear the log book is sorted
  7. Duncan
    lol guess not then

    Also, as asked earlier....is it making the expected power for 20o at 8o? This is another clue the base timing is out.

    why not check the cool tools thread

    wow...you guys that get pulled up and get away with it all the time are lucky. Kurtly Beale went to court today for this: http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/kurtley-beale-car-charge-thrown-out-20110720-1hnxp.html BTW, my 2c is this law is rubbish. every car has enough power to kill you
  11. Duncan
    That is a perfectly normal compression, or a tiny bit high if it has had no run in. You need to look at simple things liek base timing and cam timing before pulling the motor out.

    Interesting point there...how many 4wd cars are running regularly under those rules? I spoke to the organisers when those rules were initially implemented - the clear aim is to ensure a 4wd can't be competitive with the v8 dinosaur engined cars. It was a very token effort for those rules and I'm sure they are happy no-one has bothered trying to build a serious car to them

    And Noel...don't forget "Time Attack" means something to you banana benders that is different to the rest of the country

    absolutely, irs a shame more of the 3D cars don't take supersprints like the World Time Attck Challenge ™ more seriously. They could run 2-3 sec quicker on the right tyres for sure. Remember lap records like "low 29s" only count when set in race setup, during a race. Not a single lap with no fuel on super cheater tyres.

    Tas rally again next weekend.....have you guys sorted some snow?

    3 wins Terry.....my Stagea has a TV for up to 5 people that can't live without the final

    that 6l rule was relaxed for the turbo foulcans in prod cars. I guess it doesn't matter too much at standard boost lol. sorry no idea about the 3d rules

    Lincorp have an account for SAU members: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/110923-club-discount-at-lincorp/ I get stuff there regularly

    tech night....stay tuned

    I don't know about #1 on that list, but #2, Powerplay Imports have stopped trading some months ago. Anyone who was owed money (and it seems many were) is probably out of luck there.

    and guages only generally pull 1-2 amps

    Lots of our events on different days....the drag day was on a Saturday, so was the last track day, and so is the upcoming MDTC track day. Some events are even on week nights like our upcoming suspension tech night. But overall....we have to organise on days that suit most people, and that is normally a sunday.

    The thing I don't understand...is it is dead easy to check the fuel pump is supplying enough fuel (fuel pressure guage, can even be inline to the fuel line on the dyno). If fuel pressure suddenly starts to drop especially at max torque, you are having a fuel pump flow issue.

    jesus, give the bloke a break. as if anyone in a high powered rear wheel drive car has never had some unexpected wheelspin. if you respond by lifting off, and you are already on a bend, you are likely to spin. Anyway, Robert, join the NSW club, come along to some of our motorkhana and driver training days. These are great handling cars you just need to get used to how they react.
  25. Duncan
    what was the result of the compression test? are you certain the cam timing is correct, and that the base timing is accurate? Is it making the right power for 20o or is it miles short?
