Just thought I would remind people that the final round of the ANDRA Sports Compact Championship will be on this Sunday 21st May. Looks like there will be a number of high powered GTR's, GTS-t's, as well as the usual rotaries and fours that will make this quite an interesting meet.

So who's in, who's not, who's racing, who's going to do what? Rumours and trash talk expected :P

DAMN!

The little orange rotary won S/RWD.

I exploded another right-hand CV in the semis (and red-lit anyway) ;) That's racing.

Daniel Beer (RNMENC) has discovered that he likes drag racing and went out in the semis to Shane Crichton's Cressida (eventual runner-up) with a 12.180 breakout on a 12.200 dial-in.

Great day, dissapointed that I had to be towed home. We had spare shafts but it was getting dark and cold :( 2RISMO is now safely tucked up in bed at Bezerkly.

Track was very good and the car was pretty consistent; the runs were like this:

1st pass:

1.826 60ft

5.042 330ft

7.669 @ 91.37mph 660ft

9.925 1000ft

11.800 @ 120.02mph

2nd pass:

1.700 60ft

4.907 330ft

7.521 @ 93.03mph 660ft

9.777 1000ft

11.662 @ 118.34mph

3rd pass:

1.705 60ft

4.909 330ft

7.533 @ 94.01mph 660ft

9.789 1000ft

11.669 @ 119.78mph

4th pass:

1.698 60ft

4.909 330ft

7.541 @ 93.86mph 660ft

9.806 1000ft

12.030 @ 86.58mph - (on the brakes in eliminations)

5th pass:

BANG!

(11.662 and 120.02mph are both pb's though.)

Car is incredibly consistent in the 60' and to half track - 330ft times within 2 thousandths and picking up 26mph (28mph+ on the first run) from half track. I think I got a handle on how to get it consistent just in time to get a handle on how may passes I get out of a pair of shafts! :D

HUGE thanks to Stuart and the boys from Bezerkly Automotive in Wollongong, Daniel Beer, Taryn and Brett for the kind words of encouragement from the grand-stand.

yeah it was a mixed day alright. you were doing awesome adrian till the redlight and shaft breakage :D plus the commentators gave it to you heaps. lol but you must be pleased with a pretty solid day.

i was surpised to see the bezerkley cars running 13s on slicks (or MTs not sure which) i would have thought with all that gear they would be quite quick?

wow there was some drama with theo, poor guy i felt for him big time. the guy he was racing against went in to stage while theo was still getting ready and theo just didnt get into full stage in time and redlighted. i was really hoping for an 8 from theo but i guess that's racing. rules are rules but man it seemed harsh that he top qualified early in the day then didnt get to run again. I thought he at least would have wheeled it out for a grudge match (maybe against the 33 that ran a 14.0 for the win against him? lol) but i guess he was too pissed to bother which was a shame. I hope he comes back because his car was stunning and there is no doubt he will run an 8.

Paul and stacey had a tough day too with missing 1 quali then mechanical problem in the next and only quali seeing them not qualifying. then hit some dramas in the grudge (or were you in ET?). But i'm sure you guys will be back bigger and better. :(

Jun had some gearbox dramas but god damn it was a nice looking car and sounded just magic. It was a really nice 32 GTR. just stunning.

it was a shame that a lot of the quick cars got outed by slow ones but i guess that is DYO bracket racing. personaly not my cup of tea, but for some reason seems to be what we get in sport compact classes.

oh ye! my bro ran a 6.81 @ 210.97MPH!!! n that was on and off the throttle, still alot to come from this car >_<

i think that shut up alot of critics of his car!!!

awesome day, got my adrenaline goin jus watching his passes... 3 consecutive 205MPH + passes and no issues.

i didnt get to see many other cars race, saw a few nic 32 gtr's tho :dry:

the "camrydore" (ex vn pro stck made into a camry) sounded n did well... 2JZ from the states.

the MR MAD torana was awesome to watch, the last? pass I think it did where he backed off then hit it again to run a 7.1 was fantastic.

Flew up from Melb for the day to check it out, had a great time, plenty of awesome cars, spewin I missed some of the earlier GT-R passes.

he i think he felt the car get ou of shape wen it carried the wheels, had the steering slightly turned to anticipate the correction and i think it wasnt as bad as he tought so it veered right a bit, but to back off for that long, and then hit it agan several times and still run a 7.1 @ 208mph is phenomenal. still alot left in the car i guess!! here r some pics i dug up.

in the first photo u can see how far the wheels have come up and carried, and thats at almost half track! u can see the end of the grandstand nd the cleanup guys a little further up on the right lol i love this car haha

I had a great day - the sportsmanship shown by almost all racers was great and the breakage in the semi was the only low-light. Chris Diggles and I go way back - I'm sure he had the Arnie impersonations pumping on the commentary.

Daniel (green Bezerkly car) ran 11.80 @ 121 mph on his first qualifier but the clutch (that I helped fcuk the week before) gave up so he could only run 16psi, changing at 5500rpm. Went on to a 12.180 on a 12.200 dial. Not bad for a guy with less than 20 passes under his belt.

Theo's car was awesome on the pass I saw. I was two cars back waiting to be called forward when he went 9.0 @ 156 (I think) - sounded very very strong and the crew all cheered so they must've been happy.

Hard luck to the mighty TWO06L but when it comes back, oh man! Bigger, Stronger, Faster! >_<

Can't wait for next season.

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
