How's that for a kick in the teeth as a surprise??

GTR700 and RH9 are racing at Heathcote this weekend!!!!

Dunno if they're racing on Sat or Sun but let's hope it's Sunday so we can see how the big boys do it!!

I'm hanging for this weekend more than ever. Let's just hope my car is ready to roll by then...

Leewah,

nothing's been mentioned on Mario's website and are u sure it's this weekend, it might be on the 21st for the 4,6 & Rotary shootout at heathcote.

btw, they were apparently having clutch issues on tuesday.

Everything is ready to go - the BFG Drag Radials have been put onto the BBS alloys and they are now on the car. The car looks even better now. Cool. The new wider slicks have also been delivered and have been put onto their rims. We've also got another 2 barrels of ELF race fuel, and that was all we were waiting for, we are all set.

The new BBS is now online. As it is hosted inside the performanceforums.com BBS, you will be required to join it if you wish to post. As they are well moderated, we believe that is the best way to ensure that the moron content that plagued the previous test board doesn't return.

Hopefully the next update I post will be something for me to be proud of... This is not to say that everyone involved in this project shouldn't be, they've done more than was asked of them. Jim, Theo, Daniel, Simon, Matt, and Josh have all worked very late nights and harder than ever to ensure that the cars were ready on time for this weekend - even when issues came up that were not of their doing, they persevered and made it happen. I'm pretty sure that I even saw a bead of sweat on Jim's forehead (we need to check the video evidence to substantiate that, so it is un-official for now... :D

RH9: Well we are racing this weekend. RH9 stage 1 / 2 is now complete. Thank you once again to Jim, Daniel, Simon, Josh and Mat for their hard earned work which has now completed the next stage. I would also like to thank Russell Clarke from Heathcote Raceway for making this weekend possible for our test and tune. The last things to happen are bonnet restraints which will be done today and the sticker set up on the car which will also be done this morning.

Jim tuned RH9 last night to run NOS and lets just say that we made over 500kw's at all 4 wheels in 5th gear with 11,400nm of torque. This thing will be a ****'n handful to keep in a straight line. Watching RH9 come on boost is something that only a few of us saw in the flesh last night at about 11pm on the DYNO. Yes I have heaps of videos of the tunning and power runs. This weekend we are off to Heathcote to better our time of 10.81. Thanks to Andrej, the Hollinger gearbox is now well run in and just needs to be treated like a dirty bitch. The harder and rougher you are with it the better it will perform.

I am hoping the motor holds together, if it does I am sure we will make a few people envious. At this stage we are hoping for a 9.99 or better. If RH9 runs a 9 second pass my next update will be a great feeling to upload.

Thank you once again to the team at CRD. Fingers crossed we will be in the RH9 club by Monday morning.

and i wanna see the good cars run 2!

there will ALWAYS be someone else who is QUICKER, BETTER, FASTER, BIGGER, HARDER etc... I dont think many of us plan to set a new land speed record on sunday - its for fun and those who havent run their car before will see what it / they can do also [like me]!

racing goes for like 5 hours in total, have a few runs then watch for a while, or the other way round :O

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
