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.

i was there last nite with noel, was good racing in the finals, only thousandths split some of them!

but yeh the commentators did crap on alot, and there were fairly long waits etc, but it was worth it :)

did u see the 4.67 @324MPH top fueler run? :O that was awesome! :)

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

yeh the final was a 'slow' one, winner ran a 5.003, track wasnt there so was a hairy ride

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... :)

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
