On a side note I see Jeff Beaumont is on the entrants list.

This will be a good chance to see just how quick a well sorted EVO is in the hands of a decent steerer. This is the car Jeff will be doing the up-coming Lake Mountain Rally and this years Dutton Rally National Championship in.

I am looking forward to seeing this in action. The guys were putting the finishing touches too it last weekend when I took my car in.

500bhp, are you sure? Jeff was estimating 300kw which is just over 400bhp.

Roy came over last night in the white VII and I came up with the idea of car sharing for tomorrow. I use his wheels, he uses my car and offers driver training. Will make the final decision in the next hour or two I think. $$ are a little close at the moment which is why I am slightly hesitant. :(

I will still be there either way though to watch.

That makes sense but is a huge loss between fly and wheels

My car has a quoted 160kw at the engine std. Throw them on a rollign road and they struggle to make 100rwkws. So for a rwd manual they have about 50-60rwkws of drivetrain losses. So on an AWD car with east-west engine layout i would not be surprised if there is another 10-15kws of losses?????

Anyway, whatever power its making it will most likely be a brisk car....what am i talking about? Its a complete and running car which is better then anything i have at the moment :(

It is 11:52 pm just finished installing bigger front sway bar and put a new radiator in after mine decided to leak badly from the top tank seal.

It did a full day @ winton no problem then all of a sudden it died, anway picked up a new one from work and the car trailer and she will be up and running in the morning.

Man soo many track virgins and i am one aswell (to circuit sprint that is)

hope the weather stays dry >_<

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
