Had an awesome day out, i wasnt even expecting to qualify so extremely happy to make the top 8 in group 2. All be it if it was because someone spat the dummy and left me to have a solo run :ninja:

Looking forward to round 3 now, bit more experienced by then, hopefully place abit higher.

Thanks flick, nice meeting you and Luke, well done mate on making that far on your first comp awesome job, congrats!

I was having a bit of issues with grip at the rear, tried softening the suspension before qualifying but made it worse lol, but yes had a good day, good experience for my first comp. I wasnt expecting to qualify, the level is getting higher and higher, a lot of skill out there.

Showza, sorry about your car mate, but you know youll be back bigger and better than ever, give us a yell if you need a hand with anything man.

If anyone have some vids of practice and qualifying, post them up! :cool:

Cheers

yeah i had a good day... til my two crashes lolol. First was during my top 16 battle with Adam May on the last corner (turn 2) of the last battle m,y tyre delaminated... lost all grip and i did a 180 into the tyre wall... no reall damage so i wasnt that worried about it. I made it through and so i changed tyres and got back into the next round with Kelly McKinnon where i was running some tyres i hadnt run before and they didnt grip as much as the stuff i was running all day.. so i looped on turn 1 and kelly came at me and smashed into my rear door... so if anyone knows of any drivers side 32 4 door rear's i need one :P

But yes... the 25 is nuts, and damn does the car go so well now.. absolutely BAKES the tyres hahaha

cheers again guys, cant wait for round 3 now, now that i got the first comp out the way should be alot less nervous out there. Should be fun.

rbman, i got a few mods, nothing overly extreme yet. Its got enough power for my skills at the moment. When i get bit better will go hunting for more power im sure.

Spewing about your car showza, i heard you come into the pits and cringed instantly. Good luck with it man.

Simon, as flick said, i missed both your hits too. Glad to hear the damage aint too bad.

Richo, was good to meet you too man, watched a couple of your runs from flicks footage last night, if you held turn 2 i reckon you would have qualified for sure. Good luck at round 3 man.

See all of you there.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
