Just wondering if anyone from SAU is going to the 7 to 11 test and tune tomorrow night?

I did have a few mates who were going but it appears they are now wearing skirts and don't want to go... Need to organise a bunch of people to cruise out with :(

Also wanting to know if there will be anyone who has a support crew who wouldn't mind looking after my spare tyre, tools etc when I'm racing :yes:

Cheers.

just find a security guard who would be happy to sit on the tyre and fall asleep on it for you.

Tried that one last time... Asked if I could leave my jerry can near the scrutineering desk and they basically said it may not be there when I got back... Luckily for me it was and I had enough fuel to get home :rofl:

12 flat ???

Nah... seriously mid to high 13s would be good.

I've run a 14.1 @ 100 mph on a 2.3 second 60 foot... so if I can get my 60 foot times down, high 13s should be realistic.

... Mods are EBC, power FC, pod filter, high-flow cat, and catback exhaust... Everything else is stock (standard SMIC and standard turbo).

hey i dont know if this will help but last time i went out i took my stockos and changed from my 18s while i was there. i just left my 18's with the jack under a sheet i put in my car so not to dirty the seats and left them on the grass around other parked cars and people. I was worried first and kept checking up on them but i quickly relised they were fine. Although now ive posted this on the net it might be a different story, nobody get any ideas.... lol

You can buy the helmets pretty cheap. I have seen them at the motorcycle shop on the corner of Moss St. and the M1 service road starting at about $70 from memory. :)

Good to meet you too Dale... Was a very good night (except for the oildowns!)

I ended up running 13.96 @ 100mph so I got the time I was after.

Were some impressive times last night:

'Easy St' R32 GTR ET: 10.9 seconds

Marty (STZ automotive) SR20 powered celica ET: 11.6 seconds

Alex (GT Auto garage) R33 GTR ET: 12.0 @ 127 mph! (was definately bogging down off the line and falling off boost + struggling for traction on boost) - looking forward to seeing some low 10 second passes soon!

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
