Just finished. About to go drinking...

Outright:

1st: Jeff Beaumont - Evo 6 (Cheater spec)

2nd: Chris & Troy - team White Car

3rd: Snowy & James - team Blue Car

Only 2-points difference!

Fantastic work to both Chris and Andrew - truly excellent result when considering the callibre of the other cars and competitors. Well done!

* also - worth noting now (only becuase Snowpants will surely bring it up) that team Blue Car would have come second if we had done better in the only event that I actually was required in. The 1.4 Leewah weight disadvantange and the fact our navigation aids were far too advanced for the timing system - let us down. Sorry Snowy :P

Fark Off...we are the Bombs Yo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a great effort by the guys...Snowie topped the times for a few eevents, and ditto Chris...tops efforts :)

Hats off to Chris for hooking a brother up with a trophy

...also a great thing about these sorts of events, the ppl are so approachable and friendly.The Melbourne Performance Centre guys were tops and ran well as well...and of course Jeff ringing the neck of the R34, definitely the hardest driven car of the weekend...funny to see a car blowing as much smoke as Andrew :O

Hats off to Geoff Beaumont and the EVO though, the car and driver were suited to the event and didnt make a mistake all weekend

Entrants varied from caged rally cars to a Subaru Outback - complete with roofracks and tow-hitch.

There was a 993 Turbo, NSX, RS4 wagon and a range of very well presented 240z's.

Managed to get out there in time to catch the last event on Saturday, the cars looked great, the GT-Rs sounded awesome! Some nice machinery there.

Well done on the results.

Well done guys!!!!! Good to see Team Wang terrorizing the competition and coming up with excellent results, well done Chris, shows that big power is not a necessaty....

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
