Very good ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Who actually went to willow bank to watch the RACING.

I dont know if it was just me, but i found it very boring they had two races in the first hour and the commentators were crapping on with shit all night. It felt like i paid $45 entry to watch the tractor go up and down the quater mile and a shit load of motor bikes.

And didnt see one Skyline in sight.

Weight of numbers dude. I think there were only 3 lines nominated in a field of over 600 cars. Most divisions were hotly contested with up to 40 cars vying for a spot in the final 16. In a nutshell the night belonged to bogan ville and will do for a long time to come.

As impressive as the lines are there is no substitute for cubes when it comes to dig racin. They have the torque to consitantly launch time and again with less than 1000ths of a second between their run times. The small capacity imports are too knife edged to maintain the launch consistancy of the heavy iron. Too many revs it flares up in wheelspin and not enough sees it bog down, Changing track conditions make it extrememly difficult to get it right time after time and that is what is required to be succesful at a big meet like the winter nats.

It was a good meet, I managed to spend at least a couple of hours at the track each day and despite the oildowns and the waiting the racing was of a standard Australia has never seen before. Some classes had every qualifier running under the national index. Quite astounding really.

Heres another tip, If you decide to go bogan go straight to the top and run bowtie equipment, The only place in the finals for the blue oval was in the dial your own slow arse street titles. Cheverolet owned it and owned it in near all classes all weekend.

Yeah it was a good run.

I missed the fianals as i did'nt want to get stuck in the traffic. I remember last time when we waited for the final top fuel run, they both shit'em selves and that was it. I was'nt going through that shit again.

Who ended up winning the door slammers was it Ben Bray or that white HQ from WA. It was on fire running a 6.03 in the semi.

I saw the price of entry and thought, not worth it...

There used to be a time when Id never miss a top fuel event but the entry fees are getting stupid...

Yeah it is getting stupid with the admission fees.

I have noticed it was down on numbers from the last few years. You would have people on the hill right down the end of the track, not this year.

Oh yeah go the CHEVS, I think there were to many motorbikes and tractors going down the strip.

That is the first Sunday i have gone to for a few years i normally go on the Saturday which i think is much better as you get to see more cars qualifying.

FORD - Full Of Rust Dents, They said Brett stevens couldnt even qualify as he couldnt get past high 6s

the white HQ took it out :)

      spot the stagea

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
