Brisby - Yes! YAY! I ran a 129.53 on my first run. My second run was hindered with a little bit of ran and a penalty for having street tyres on the rear.

And no I didn't have the Top Gun music playing while I had the car show in car camera, it would have been so cool too because the camera was facing me not the road, i could've been singing danger zone or something!! haha. I was too stressed about the whole tyre issue to think of music. Next time gadget.

I do hope you and James liked my air guitar move though when we pulled up next to you on the way home blasting the Top Gun Theme music!!

Cool times are up. My best result is 14th outright in the Short Wang. Got to be happy with that considering my launch would really hurt me on such a short event

I dont feel so bad now.I have a couple top 20 outright results a fair few top 30 results and then in the 40s. My problem is that on the skidpan im coming 70th :)

Sign me up for the next DECA, install diff and learn to use handbrake :)

what happened to the times at Sandown ? Was there a problem with the car?

I went first obviously and there was something seriously wrong in my 1st run. The car had no pull in 3rd or 4th gear. My top speed down the straight after the run was 178km/hr! The car was blowing a lot of smoke too. Our only guess was the engine was WAY overfilled with oil which Chris said he did. The top speed for my 2nd run was better at 221km/hr but still below where it should have been. I also had a slight sprinkle of rain in my 2nd run which caught me out at turn 2 and at the entry to the fast kink. 4th gear was also shagged so we were having to double clutch it which was a new experience for me. Plus by this stage our tyres were shagged. Check out how they were at the end of the day!

LOL. Z-tune? Meh, the thing is 4wd and eleventy billion dollars with eleventy billion kws and it is only 6/10 of a second quicker then the RB20 over the standing half mile :laugh:

Hell, i wish i had the balls to run the boost on Saturday that i was running on Sunday. The extra 30rwkws may have helped :laugh:

Im stoked with how the car went now. At the time i was a bit miserable but the old girl got some real good results, shame that the bad results were equally as bad :D

On the oveall results, how come Jeff and Peter are down as a 2000 model VI? They were in a red IX so 05/06 model I thought. Phenominal driving by the pair either way.

Am very impressed by the overall standard though. :laugh:

LOL! Just noticed that as well! :laugh:

Marcus White will surely be pissed with his car classified as a 1995 when his plate says 1996!

If you look you'll also see Chris and I were driving a 1999 GTR. Basically the EVO guys would have originally entered that they were doing it in Jeff's old car and like for us never updated the information on the new car.

Makes sense now. Surprises me though as all weekend the organisers demonstrated exceptional efficency with data. E.g awards and times that night, SMS results, results on the web already. :thumbsup:

2. The Winton Flip Flop can be a scary place.

I can second that... YOWZERS!!

Yeah, I did leave on Sunday with a nasty headache...maybe it was the MJR car... oh well, it still sounded great for the 3 times that I saw it!! mmmmmm 7 litres and a holinger sequential... heaven!! :thumbsup:

Bris, I saw that NSW GT-R with similar plates to yours! I thought you had lent him your plates for driving to the event or somehting... weird!!

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
