I'm the same mate. Between my Plazmaman plenum, ETM manifold, numerous other custom alloy and stainless gear I've had done, and an all signing and dancing $20k welder we've recently ordered in at work... I also have one hell of an appreciation of professional welding skills!

Leigh's welding abilities are in another dimension in comparison to my capabilities.

Good and bad. It wasn't bad as far as first meetings go and considering the number of new things to keep track of and the tame settings in the thing, it didn't do too bad at all.

First run out I blew the manifold to BOV line clean off and discovered that the spring in the BOV is about 16.5-17psi. :D It was doing all the boost control for me :) and we pulled every cooler pipe, hose, clamp and fitting off to chase the boost leak that was none of the above.

With that problem sorted (but with round 2 and 3 qualifiers happening in my absence, I had to make do with a random dial-in for first round eliminations. I thought that an 11.anything would do for the day and so dialed in 12.00. It would only hold about 3psi on the foot brake so it drove off the line again (2.006 60') and with the boost leak fixed went 11.87 @ 120.89mph. The speed was back but the launch was atrocious. The transbrake would have to do for grudge runs soon to come.

I forgot to arm the brake for the next pass so we just wont talk about that, okay? :P

Last pass they had time for was ok. Good burnout, everything ready to go, transbrake to about 8psi and when i let go of the button it just went sideways and spun all through first with me peddling it to get it under control. I should have in-car vid of this pass soon. Slow (11.7 @ 120 - 1.9 60').

That was all we had time for today but will be back soon to revise the launch technique. A 1.60 60' time will see the car in the bottom 11's/high 10's no trouble at the same boost etc. Fingers crossed. :)

Good to catch up with a few people today. Thanks to Elmsy, Macka and Yavuz from Unigroup Engineering for their help.

Oil pressure was about 60psi when oil up to proper operating temp. That's reading the gauge during the run. Haven't seen logs yet.

One of the best parts of the day was cruising with this guy. Car runs 8.30's on slicks and went 8.60's on radials. Made the 45km cruise and drove through the night from Calder Park to be at the event. (They raced the day before!)

      By sammi_d · Posted

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one... So you've asked, and now we're delivering! Since your tastebuds are tingling, feast your eyes on the event details: Date: Saturday 27th July 2024 Meet Location: Parking Lot - 1 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park Meet Time: Meet at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm departure Destination: Talotta's Pizzeria, 1-3 Bridges St, Kurnell Map: https://tinyurl.com/saunsw-talottas  We'll meet at the carpark on the corner of Parkview Drive and Australia Avenue in Sydney Olympic Park. When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

      Agree! I still believe I have the quietest 400kW+ R33 in Australia.
