:rofl:

26 chamber volume is about 66cc So I would expect a -15cc piston to give me about 51cc

dammit. I have to get into pet food!

a quick dyno run with boost logging will tell you where the issues is (BOVs/wastegate/boost drop etc)

Sorry but that is almost certainly not OK. If someone else built the engine, talk to them before you start it again. If you built it...I guess you can start with oil analysis but 99% you are going to have to pull it out. How is the oil pressure?

I know a lot of people are concerned about the "run 10 or faster and you can no longer compete" rule that WSID are imposing on this and other private hire days. As a result, SAU:NSW is pleased to announce a strictly limited edition trophy! Any entrant who is booted for running 10 or faster on our day will receive a trophy from SAU:NSW. Each winner's trophy will be personally engraved with a message "WSID booted me out of the SAU:NSW drag day for running xx.xx. 9 July 2011" Don't just say you can get booted....prove it and take home the silverware

haha agreed....I thought he was going to clock a wall or 3 for sure. good drive from webber today. And great to see vettel throw it away

As I might have mentioned yesterday....we have every intention of making sure this day goes ahead. The best thing everyone can do is get your entries in, we have 25 spots still available. You can be sure you will get as many runs as you will want with only 40-50 cars and 7 hours of track available.....much better value than the 3-5 runs you will get on a Wednesday night

Big thanks to all the organisers and volunteers who made today run brillintly despite the rubbish weather. In particular foe McGuyver for fixing the bbq with a ballpoint pen and cardboard box! Wrap up thread is over here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/367511-texi-wrap-up/ PS. COME TO THE DRAG DAY!!

told y'all it had been a while since my insurance came in...annual renewal was today R32 GTR N1, full comprehensive insurance (ie including road driving), agreed value $30k. $510pa

OK, I know a few people have done this so it is probably user error....but I am stuck at step 3. Can I confirm...if I * sit in the driver's seat * lock the car using central locking button * fully insert and fully remove the key, 6 times in 10 sec (don't turn to ACC, just insert and remove) that the doors will unlock and let me continue the programming?

yep good idea. we have spare ebay steerign wheels for both cars when we are not at the track. the good suede ones get damaged too easily, especially by oil. I like you committment to this car....lots of good work going into it and nothing seems to be off limits....looking forward to catching up at Superlap

It's a purely mechanical locking system (apart from 1 actuator/motor for the central locking if you have it)....so first up I would try to force it with the inside lock release. Or if you are even braver and have a spare key.....force it with the inside switch AND the key at the same time. You can break the key in the lock so be careful! Once it is unlocked, pull the door card off and see what is bent/broken/siezed. Or give it to a mechanic if you aren't feeling brave.

ahaha yep it sounds pretty bad until you get used to it! And every camry driver in the carpark will think you are evil incarnate. What you are describing is perfectly normal with a tight diff

yes exactly...it is not based on actual inputs from the car, it is just what the computer *thinks* it will get with the fuel it is putting in. you can adjust it to be pretty much correct by comparing the target AFR to actual AFR on the dyno, just adjust the air flow meter curve. but not much point really...

100% agree. And I've left one loose before, they vibrate out over time and rub on the pulley (mad sparks on the dyno!)

I guess someone could confirm all the features of the GPS thingy that was provided at Targa....but I thought one of the features was GPS location of offs. Extremely good idea i think

BTW are you downgrading back to R33 N1 turbos?

The Nav's are the best to answer that....but I'm willing to bet a good GPS should replace the olde fashioned tripe computers....

I've always held the flywheel with a single bellhousing bolt and a long prybar to hold it.

Hey Joel....don't forget your membership

The DBA catalogue is a little unclear. Base model GTRs (R32, all dates) had 296x 32mm discs. They run a grey/green rotor with either nissan or sumitomo brand (can't remember) Vspec GTRs (R32) had the same brembos as R33 and R34, 324 x 32mm. The caliper is black and has Brembo on it So, unless you have the brembo brakes, you need the smaller discs. They are still a pretty capable setup compared to most facotry cars. For interest, R33 GTSt had 296x30mm discs, so in practice the base model r32 gtr and the 33 gtst brakes are interchangeable

That sucks Mark....hoping you can make it to at least 1 event you enter this year Aggrodave will have confirm who will take over the entry...the reserves list in post 2 is blank so maybe it's a chance for someone very late?

Actually...no! But Barry did pass on his details so thanks for helping out! I need to chase him again actually. Sounds like the Tassie field will be down a few after the number of crashes last round. How's the weather looking for the weekend?
