Yeah from experience the 4,6 and Rotor Cruise is always the biggest of the year i find.

Lets just hope its not as hot as it was last year!

That sucked ass so much!

But seeing Keir run a 8.9 on friday nights testing was the highlight of the weekend!

Everyone able to go one the cruise? and i assume they don't like people being stupid on these cruises -> always read the section in the trading post for the cruise

Well honestly i didn't go on last years cruise but i did the year before and all i noticed was 2 cars get pulled over and the were literally 100's everywhere!

As far as the "behaving" i mean they obviously would like everyone as behaved as possible but that doesn't really happen.

However like i said its the most enjoyable cruise i have ever been on.

I'm planning on running my Crown at the meet.

I'll probably be doing my licencing passes on the friday night T'n'T.

Cheers

Sean :)

Nice, will have come out at see what she can do off the dyno, hey you reckon i can sit in the back again? :P

I'm planning on entering if everything goes according to plan. I won't be that exciting to watch (low 12 maybe an 11 if I'm lucky) but it should be fun as I've changed quite a bit since last time I ran.

If the last two years are anything to go by it will be a hot one :huh: 2004 - 48'C

Yeah I know what you mean Will. I had a look at the MT Drag Radial while waiting to picking up some bits from Outlaw Speed Shop the other day. They look awesome and with that tread pattern they may even handle a bit of minimal road use - even trundling around in the wet perhaps?

How much for a set (rear only) of 275/40/17? With the money I've spent on the car over the last 6mths I probably shouldn't - but the rears need upgrading/replacing this year anyway :D

Ask Keir - I'm pretty sure that's the size they're using now.

They may even have a few cheap 1/2 used sets lying about before you decide to shell for them.

Down side is although they are radial, and DOT approved, this does NOT make them road legal in SA.

Up side is RWD Commodores have been known to get 1.5x sec 60' times on them - I got 1.74 with my mild combo.

the crown is nuts missed out on it last dyno day :P best of luck with it

Feel free to come and have a stickybeak if you see it out in the paddock at AIR mate. :)

I'm just finishing reassembly this morning after putting a set of ARP 2JZ Supra head studs in it. Given the state of the gasket, It looks like that on boost it's been leaking combustion pressure out cyls 1 & 6 for quite a while probably. (the stock plastic region head bolts a pretty weak)

I've also just fitted up a DC Electric water pump and controller, which will allow me to run the motor about 15deg colder than the stock thermostat-which should deliver a bit more power and allow me to cool the car down between runs.

Seeyou there

Sean

Hook it up and run a 9!!!

I can't wait to see it!

How was your Xmas and NewYears Chops? Good I hope mate.

I'll give it a red-hot go at least. It ran the 10.4 on 20 psi, and has now recorded 447rwkw on 23psi-with the head gasket leaking pretty badly (studs and EWP should deliver another 25-40rwkw.)

I'm changing the diff ratio up to a 3.08 from 3.23 too as was running out of revs. The 3.08 and more power should see it close to (if not over) 140mph-which is parachute territory. :angry::)

See you there :)

Sean

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
