I am awake because i got kicked out of the hotel...it seems they take offence to the guy that does the door knock at 4am screanmng "Weak carnts, get UP!!!!! SARK PISS!!!!: so i am at an internt cafe waiting for my boss to come to my rescue and find me new accomodation

I think the first time Pete ran was like really shocking, 14s something, second wasn't much better for some reason. When he went back in for some fine setting with Al i think and came back out thats' when i left.

Saw the Stag with SAU sticker, good work mate, think he did like mid 14 and left for the day.

High light of the night has to be the GTR, bloody animal. It ran 10,4 on some skinny tyre by the glance it said RE7...something. Too many cars at Calder.

There were some absolute animals down there... I dont know what the names of the cars were but alot of old skool holden and ford muscle that were FAKING LOUD, consistent 9 and 10 second passes. The Dalton pro drag RX7 FD was there and ran a 7.9 :(

The OH Performance r32 GTR was did run an awesome 10 second pass. It's good to see a nice tuned straight six whistling off the launch and run similar times but soo much quieter than those big old loud holdens and fords :P

Peter ran a 13.6, then a 14.1, then finished up with his best run of the night of 13.071.... soo close to getting that much wanted 12 second pass. Nevermind, next time Pete :D

A couple of white MKIV Supras in the 14's :lol:

Yamaha R1 did a few 11second passes.

Thanks to TomG for helping me locate a bolt I dropped in my engine bay when i was fitting my air filter back on :lol:

And big thanks to Daz for hanging out and talking shit all night while perving on the talent :P

hahahaha Troy you're a clown. that's a pissa :lol:

Here is my thread in the Stagea forum,

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=101824

best was 14.7@92mph

Not too shabby if I say myself. Standard SS's and XR6T's were just not able to crack into the 14's, they were doing low 15's. So... there we go.

I got there about 5:00, had four runs by 7 and then left just as Bass just arrived as it was getting wayy too busy/cbf'ed running more times...i knew what my beast was capable of :P

Oh Okay.

A report

Well, it ws super busy at Calder.

First run, did a 13.6 with like a 2.5 60ft. The track was soo much grippier than I though. 1.6 mph Launched at about 4000 rpm

Second run, blazed it on the launch, to many revs at about 6000. once it hooked up, I got that mad rush of crazy acceleration you get when you are at full boost, about 5000rpm and silly silly grip levels.

blasted down to a 14.1.... but at 112 mph!!!!

Third run, I did a 2nd gear 7000rpm clutch dump burnout. Then got off the line with about 5000 rpm on board, almost let the clutch out to fast and bogged down but a little jab kept the revs up. Ran to a 13.3 at about 106 I think.

Fourth and final run, another 2nd gear burnout (from which I could later smell some serious clutch burny burny smell) and a reasonable launch again with that good traction feeling.

Ran to a 13.071 at 108 mph.

All in all, I hate the world. I will be going back to Calder at some stage this summer to run my 12 goddamn it!

I watched as several big v8s, ran 12.4 - 12.7 with trap speeds of like 109, so there's mid 12s in my car somewhere, I've just got to give it the right shoes!

Brisby. I ran street tyres. Couldn't be arse picking your wheels up after the shinanigans with the Lada!!!

Ill Be Back

BASS OUT

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
