2007 Motorsports Road Trip

So what are the chances that anyone that is coming up has room for a set of rims? My roll cage means the end of my rear seats these days.

If I get around to build my wheel rack for the trailer, will have room for 2 sets.

Damn, better get my ass into gear and get my car ready.

Borrow a trailer dude?

hahahaha...........

Funny you mentioned that. I asked my boss this morning if my new company HILUX is covered by insurance should i be towing for personal use :). He said that he isn't sure and will have to check with the insurance company, so there is still hope.

Whether the car will be finished is still not 100% :(

- Engine out today (hopefully)

- engine bay/car stripped by Friday

- hopefully Jack picks up car and delivers to my mate's place, on Friday

- Mate, preps and paints bay (1 week, two weeks, don't know: he has a full time job and is doing this on the side).

- In the meantime: EAS assemble complete engine with plenum, turbo, manifold, etc.

- Car goes back to EAS Perfomance

- All parts get fitted

- Engine in

- Fabrication of various other parts

- Car taken to exhaust shop

- Powder coating of certain components

- final assembly

- Light tune

- Bedding in engine (1000km)

- Service and full tune.

Either way, i think i may still come and if i do i'll bring the work ute/Hilux so i'll have plenty room for tyres, tools, etc.

PROVIDED: I have at least one passenger to keep me company on the trip and possibly share the driving :)

I hope your car is ready. But if its not, you should still come. Save me the horrible drive by letting me put my car on your trailer and we can tag team my car at Wakefield and Eastern Creek. Only conditionis you have to give it plenty of gate past where im spectating. :)

Nice one Ant! Should be a good trip.

Just bought a R33 gtr tonight so I'll have to see if I can get it ready for the trip if not the trusty 32 will be there. If I can or can't get the 33 registered it will be my new track whore.

When did you hit a fence Saff????

Yeh I bought that one! Dam cheap and straight.

Might just have to tie up Tash and drive the car into the lake in one piece like the guy on the weekend at Mordy.

No just need to mod it right but the 32 might have to go first.

Wow. so much for 32 loyalty... :domokun:

I'm out............................again :blink:

Car went to my mate's place today, but wont be ready for approx. 3 weeks, leaving next to no time for all the other stuff.

I can not justify the trip, financially, when i wont be entering the track days. So i'll just re-organize my work leave and see if i'll do a Tassie trip early next year.

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
