It is a learning curve again, Ben. The car behaves much differently now and getting it to do things like it used to will involve about a dozen more runs I reckon.

I've got another vid from this meeting which was the transbrake run. I thought I'd take it easy and let it go at 8psi as indicated on the eboost2 display. You can hear it coming up on the brake in the vid and when i let go of the button, you can hear the revs rise too quickly, the tyres spin and me getting off the throttle and back on it trying to get some traction. Then it hits the limiter hard on both gear changes as I'd changed the shiftlight to 8200rpm but not the rev limiter. Amateur! :thumbsup:

Lots of practice required.

Nice work - should be able to give it a good shake down this weekend :down:

So Jas says to me, he says, "We right for this weekend, mate?"

And I say, I says, "For sure, mate. What's the plan?"

And then he says, "We'll leave my place in a massive cloud of tyre smoke at 1:30pm and head to the church!"

So I says back to him, I says, "You mean your place, right near Dapto cop shop?"

And he says, "She'll be right, mate! No-one's ever there!"

So I says back to him, I says, "You mean Dapto cop shop where the whole of the Highway Patrol is based?"

And he says, well, he didn't say much else...

hmm they look big, 1600's?

please show what you are doing fuel rail wise when the time comes

It will probably just be a lump of alloy bar to be honest but I'll post what i come up with in here. They're 1600's.

Finally getting back around to tinkering with the red car and finishing the fuel system. Have booked a couple of buddies, a case of beer, some steak and a bbq for this weekend. Should have it up and running Saturday arvo.

Family stuff, Xmas, dollars and a new race car purchase stalled things somewhat.

Leigh from ETM made up a really nice surge tank setup for me and mounted the pumps etc. I'm bracing for the Speedflow bill (scary shit) but with Steve's Speed Shop and MSCN looking after me, it won't be as bad as it could have been.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
