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 :)

I would love to find out how fast a 5 second run would feel, but unfortunatlly Im sure its one of those things Ill never get to experience...

Just something else to add to the list right under pilot a space rocket... :)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
