I will be at nunawading maccas at 3:45 ok. Look for the guy in the wagon :)

Ill have to pick up a mate from resivoir on the way, but if there are only like 2-3 of us maybe you guys will come with, else, we'll split up on bell street.

See you there tomorrow everyone.

Dont worry about semi slicks at calder guys, I rekon there not necessary. I ran a 12.5 with a 1.8 second 60 ft on bald Dunlop SP8000e - granted they were 265s, but still its all comes down to the way you launch, you gotta remember the start line is grippy as f**k, big burnnout on st tyres gets em even grippier. Its not like the street at all, ive got mates who dont wanna take there cars down because they compare launchin it at the track to like launching off the lights - its not the case - trick is to keep the revs high so it gets onto boost fast, and as the lights stage on the yellow, keep ur clutch at the friction point jusssssssssssssst before it grabs, dont shit urself from a little wheelspin but if its excessive just knife the clutch slightly. Another method is handbrake, but i dont like it because it can upset traction. Done be shy thru the gears, no flatchanging, but sharp quick and precise, keep the shifts stictly to the redline, i see so many ppl shifting early. Also keeping the car cool right up to the line helps, when ur in pits getting ready for a run, engine off, bonnet up, get a couple of mate to push the car. It looks stupid but I helps so much.

Just some advice for those who havent raced, I really enjoy my drag racing, ive probably had close to 50 or more runs in all my cars thru the years.

Best advice though, dont distract yourself, just get out there and have fun.

I was going to put on the semis, but couldn't be arsed.

I'm running 255 Hankook Ventus Sport which hook up okay.

Previously I have run a 1.9 60ft so I hope I can repeat that.

I'm buying a hand water spray so I can cool the pipes after each run, and also cool the oil cooler and as well. Gonna look like a goon, but who cares. Temperature = bad!

Water spray is a great idea to take down there, make sure everythings cool. As for sprayin on the oil cooler - what for lol, ur pushing it hard for less than 14 seconds. I dont think there gonna be soaring.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
