ok, so whats the go for this evening? i suggest meet up at the museum between 6pm and 6.30pm, then head into braddon at 6.30pm SHARP to be sure we get good group parking, but whether it'll work that way or not could be another story....

sound like a plan? any suggestions for parking?

Works for me Luke

Parking...... yeah. Um..... yeah.

I spose 6:30 is early enough to get some good spots in Lonsdale street somewhere, but if the police start going over everything with a fine tooth comb like last night?

i reckon your car will slip under the radar tonight. there will be much more 'defectable' looking cars than yours getting around. besides, your car isn't actually 'defectable', as in your tyres aren't bald or car sits too low etc.... just flash your engineer's certificate and i'll reckon you'll be fine.

also just posted this up in the NSW section, so we might get some interstater's there tonight....

I'm not particularly worried about my car especially, just last night they basically went through everything. Mine was parked out in the open with Leigh & Steve's and we got in and out fine. I just don't want anyone's night to end on a downer :)

We're a well behaved bunch, we should be fine.

You are pretty much GAURENTEED they will be doing the same thing tonight best idea is to meet at museum then just cruze and park somewhere a little less crazy and obsever the action.. I went and got new rear tyres this morning cuz i was worried :P

p.s. did anyone see the drags in hume and on monaro hwy last nite.. :P NUTS

Are they still doing that? I rememeber seeing that about 8 years ago but thought it would have surely ended now.

Maybe parking where Mark, leigh and I did last night would be a good spot. It was the street between northbourne and bradden main street?

was behind widebody heading towards exhibition park this morn, man that thing suprises me everytime i see it, its huuuuge!!

Summernats was ok today, abit boring, dont know how people spend all day there, i get bored after a few hours. ill be working there tomorrow and sunday aswell so if you see me say hello, itll get you a free beverage :dry:

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
