Sure did.... They really need to run it up on a dyno, the timing that 98 can take vs 91 will make it immediately obvious. I got a bad batch of fuel that almost destroyed a brand new motor...and Shell stonewalled me. Their "investigation" found no issue. And as I didn't suffer financial loss, Fair Trading had no interest

You should be able to use the factory location for the side straps on each side. The shoulder straps on the other hand won't meet CAMS requirements if you use the rear seatbelt mounts, it is too far down. The safest place to mount them is at parcel shelf height, but the parcel shelf itself is not srong enough. Best idea is to buy or make a "harness bar" if you don't have a rollcage.

that gearbox/transfer case and mounting looks the same as r series. which means you are damaging your transfer case clutches running in RWD only. Plenty of people have done the "seems ok I'll drive like this for a while" thing. the clutch packs have preload, and they will be slipping and wearing like bastards with the attessa pump off. dropping the front driveshaft is fine though.

It's over here too...http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/368540-kumho-lap-battle-championship-prizes/

Good to see some SAUers taking the lucky door prizes Mark, you forgot to mention....kumho tyres are awesome too I have been running V70A from John at F-sport for a while, and they are a good tyre with consistent performance all the way down in wear.

lol cam. only 1. how quaint. What is the plan for the starter motor Matt....stuffed if I can see how it will fit?

If necessary, the committee will review the event if we get close to the day and the club stands to loose significant money. The minimum hire charged by WSID is $8000 and currently we have $4200 in entries. If we are forced to cancel all entrants will have their entries refunded. The best way to avoid this happening....is to enter and make sure we are not loosing our member's money on this event I think it is very unlikely we will be forced to cancel.

yep, we will be providing the list of all entrants, their spectators, photographers and organisers in the week before the event; and yes there are still a fair few spots available. As we said above, entrant's spectators will get priority, then member spectators, then others.

haha I only need motors! And it looks like yours absorbed a heap of pressure (+1 for big heavy cast iron blocks). without meaning to get too personal....won't 3rd party injury insurance cover everything that has happened to you? It's not like you could possibly be more innocent in this "incident"...

Tonton, spectating is free because it is a private hire - but entrant's spectators will be given priority (it looks like our spectator allowance will be filled) Why not enter instead Thanks John....are you going to win one?

Nice....they were keen to nail you for something. Do you know who complied the car? They should have provided a tyre placard, and can confirm that thesee cars came factory with battery in the boot

Ouch...they didn't miss you, did they. On the bright side, looks the like fuel cap is re-useable.

Well I am pretty out of the loop, like a lot of people I stopped following this in the last year due to random rule changes. But Scehdule F has been ignored for 3 years now so it's not new. Nor was A, B or C followed at the last "national" supersprint (or CAMS classes for that matter). I do know you are not alone in having an issue ignored, the last person I know who sent a written concern to the same committee is still waiting 12 months later. It seems CAMS and their commitees are once again demonstrating their ability to destroy an successful series. BTW Superlap also do not have the right to ignore schedule A, B and C as long as they run under a CAMS permit. They clearly start "All cars in competition must....". Superlap needs to run under a CAMS permit because they want international cars, and CAMS are the only certifier for race imports.

BTW, to clarify, WSID set the terms and price for this hire. SAU:NSW will not make any money from this day, and it is difficult to fill due to the hire conditions. However....we are committed to making the day happen for all of the club members who have asked for it....so please support it! And more importantly....see if you can take home a "WSID booted me" trophy!

Off topic stuff removed, this thread is for SAU:NSW drag day entries thanks.

: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!!
