Qualified 12th. First round eliminations I cut a 'reasonable' light (.115) and punched the brakes through the traps to run a 12.12 @ 96mph. 2nd round went .003 on the tree, 1.668 for the 60' and broke out by a hundredth. (11.940 on an 11.950 dial).

Was totally worth going! Took 40 points in S/RWD for quarter-final lose. Points are now:

1/ Jeff (Blue Datto coupe JRB00M) - 140

1/ Mark Jacobsen (Friggin awesome GTR) - 140

2/ Me - 120

3/ 'BU5TER' - 100

4/ 'DRAGME' - 100

HUGE THANKS go out to the following people without whom, my competing could never have happened. I owe you guys! :thumbsup:

Lee and Ben (Filter) from Need for Speed Imports - towed the car all the way to QLD for me with almost NO notice whatsoever, crewed for me all day and helped out with every part of the day.

Mark (overev1) from Albion, QLD. Thanks for the place to crash, the help on the day and for showing me the reason I love this sport so much.

Gav - Mark's mate and rotary fiend. Thanks heaps mate.

Stuart from Bezerkly Automotive back in Wollongong for the "over-the-phone-tune" and strategy advice.

Thanks guys.

Thats great 2rismo................as my Dad would say "you done good". WELL DONE.

All the effort was worth it. :thumbsup:

Stace & Paul.

theo ran very low 10s all day with big mph 150 plus.. oops wheel spin . then broke a rear drive shaft in 2nd round racing..

Hahahaha!!!!! x lots!

If ANYONE else had broken a shaft, there would've been offers of spares and help and support from all corners. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Jeff in the blue datto didn't qualify (17th) and had fuel supply issues. As far as I know he ripped up the ET3 non-qualifier bracket once it was sorted.

2nd place - little rotary I think?!?! Anyone?

Personally I can't wait to get to WSID and run another 1.668 60' and 118mph :thumbsup: Other 60's were: 1.762, 1.759, 1.771, 1.774.

Should have explained myself better.

This event has only been advertised for a couple months hasn't it?

Which is fine for spectators but possibly not some competitors who can take months saving and modding in preperation for an event like this.

Now im lookin forward to the Jambo up here and strongly thinkin about going to Sydney in May for the Compak attack to see who wins this sport RWD gig.

Cheers (from ex overev1>>>now gtr660hp) :P

Edited by gtr660hp

there wasnt as many spectators as at the usual jambo, but it was way better, not as crowded, u could actually sit where u wanted to and see the track, and bcoz it was a one day event like the old jambo's, there was non stop racing action, not like the 2 day event where they stop racing for like 4 hours and u got nothing to do but watch them crap around on stage to try and waste time. it was a much better event, and if it stay one day event, i can see it taking over the normal jamboree :P

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
