Late Saturday Morning Departure

How about a meet at the parking lot of the Casula Bunnings. It is near where the M7 & M5 meet so anyone can access from either. We have used this as a meeting point for Wakefield days in the past. I'd suggest if we meet there at 11AM that will give everyone plenty of time to get the usually Saturday morning running around done (and the Coasties time to get down) but still get us to the destination with plenty of time (even with a lunch stop).

It is located on the photo below just to the left of where it says "the Crossroads" Take the Hume Highway exit if coming from the M5.

I know I didn't want to miss out, but work was scheduled for Sunday and it has been postponed. >_<

Hey Anna

No problem, hopefully your car is better now. :)

Nah its still in the process of the Haltech being installed and tuned.... but soon.... hopefully ... I was only running on about 5psi at DECA cause the wastegate was leaking! I was trying to work out why I had no power! ha ha

Im taking the new car to Texi :) No laughing when i try and launch out of the gates and the twin plate doesn't want to play....lol ... I can see myself stalling it a few times on Sunday!

Anna - I hope you mean on the track and not in the cabin the night before :rofl:

:) Walked into that one didn't I ? ;)

YAY Nick :sorcerer:

How could you NOT go??? lol! You had waaaaayyyyyy to much fun at DECA!

Yeah Nicks one of the "originals" - it wouldnt be right without him there

hahah

just spoke with a work mate who works near by and he said bring alot of warm clothing!! :)

Nah f**k that - singlet and shorts......or maybe not the shorts......

Just so everyone knows. We are all going to Walsh's Hotel in Queanbeyan on saturday night for dinner and drinking. Probably be there from mid afternoon I would say.

Walsh's Hotel

I'm staying near there so :) at stumbling home on saturday night. And to a lesser extent >_< at sleeping in till 2pm the next day

I don't have a helmet guys. Anyone know a good spot in Canberra to grab one?

Been reading the past helmet posts and am thinking of lashing out and getting one of the open face arai or sparco ones, know anyone that discounts these below retail?

As far as down here in Canberra goes, Gecko motorcycles in fyshwick (about 5 minutes from QBN) have been good for my biker needs and if they don't have anything to suit your price/needs canberra motorcycle centre and Joes motorcycles are also in fyshwick. If you're Really desperate I can possibly bring a spare dunno if it'll fit you're noggin tho.

i'll be bringing a spare helmet that someone can borrow or buy. It's a good one, it's a new nitro one. I already have an arai one so I don't need it.

So the meeting spot is casula at 11? I hope I can find it :closedeyes:

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
