if you lookat it one day... wet can be safer as you don't need a lot of speed.. but at the same time it can be more danerous... no grip.

But cruise soon for sure.

Went on an R31 cruise the other night, first one for ages. Was cold but who cares. just makes for more driving in warm cars :D

This tuesday i have my "Northern Street Cruizers" monthly meeting. There has been talk about an "observation cruise" that we might be running as a club. ALL are invited, to join in.

Basically what makes this cruise different is that from the meeting point each car is given a map/directions then are also given a set of questions that must be answered as you are completing the cruise. At the final destination a bbq (supplied by N.S.C., i think) and meet will happen. The questioniars will be added up, and prizes will be given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places (cars that had the most correct answers). It is not too easy as a few tricky questions are thrown in to seperate the field.

I will put out a THREAD after tuesday's meet, and gauge everyones interest. There will be one set route (as questions relate to what you 'observe' as you cruise). A small fee will apply to cover costs of prizes, bbq and a little profit for the club. This profit will be going to organising a DECA day at shepparton. We still intend of doing it! but need the funds first. That's when we could have a lot of driftin fun :D, legally!!

nitetime is better i think for a multitude of reasons - I much prefer driving at night anyway

ha..if we're going drifting let me know and i'll whack my stockies back on.. and stand back :D

Yeah, i was wondering about the Shep thing.. I think if you throw out a bit of notice and costs involved people will warm to the idea.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
