took it for a couple of drives around the 'test track' over the weekend....its a totally different car at the same power level as the low-mounts. Its going to be a very quick car down the 1/4 as im sure it would run faster even now...im sure i could have it in the 9.60-9.70 bracket without too much trouble. Another 200KW is going to have me very busy behind the wheel keeping it in the lane and off the walls. I was actually a bit short of a word after a very spirited session on Saturday afternoon...which is very out of character.

nice :) please go run it on pump fuel.. i want to see my tune do a 9 :)

if i run it over 140MPH ill lose my 'get out of gaol free' card and ill have to rock up next time with the parachute. Ill save it for Compak...even though Mark said he would send his chute down for me to use. He's confident if i can keep it in the groove a very low 9 is possible. Two runs below 9.1 will get me the National record and a 9.44 will have me jump up to 4th in the HPI drag records list.

well why dont u stop fluffing about and put the damn parachute on, hell i'll send mine down if you want.

the parachute rule is a wank and dates back to when cars had drum front brakes...id like to run without one to be honest...and ill put one on only when they make me.

well you know that lovely feeling when your seeds cop one...the one that travels up your groin towards your hip...i had that for 3 days solid...morphine tablets were my best friend. All good now...im only on 3 types of medication now including 6 hourly double doses of Panadine Forte. Im able to properly stand and walk not looking like someone has clouted me in the jewels.

If you are dropping 4 Panadeine forte at a time, frequently, you liver will suffer some pretty serious damage. It is often permanent, best bet is going back for some endone, that is what they gave me for the wrist(in a cast), or even just codeine to take with the P.F. to strengthen it up!

Take care and good luck with the record attempt's!

The car is entered for Compak Attak next Sunday at WSID. Setting up suspension tomorrow as its still set-up for circuit as our circuit car borrowed all the suspension for Superlap last year. Ride height needs to be raised and camber, castor and toe settings need to be changed. Mark will be flying down next Friday night to tune it in Sydney on Saturday and ive ordered a special brew for the tuning at $13.25 a litre it sure is pricey as its leaded it cops a heavy carbon tax. Ouch.

He's confident of an output around 850+whp without too much trouble.

9.44 is the target ET. but if i leave the track with a PB thats a success as far as im concerned as i havent raced the car for 11 months and will have 200whp more. It sure will be a handfull.

There will be some competition for you Paul at the Sport Compact next weekend, JUN r32 from CRD should be there.

:(

Rob's car should run faster than mine. He's got all the little problems ironed out in the car and its now super quick. But due to his car being a non ANDRA log booked and tech'd car id say his day will be over in 1 run. He is racing Devlish as well so at least he has a back-up car to run. All that aside i should be the slowest car in the Modified Compact Class but due to 12 entrants at least ill be able to qualify for the eliminators...then its DYO handicapped...they will have to try and run me down.

Im doing a few pump fuel shakedown runs on friday night if i can get on the entrant list (entry's have closed but i may be able to run if someone pulls out). Its been 11 months since ive raced and i think a few passes on lower power to see if its running straight would be good.

EDIT: ive just looked for Rob's name on the entry list and neither car is listed as entered. Entries close in 45mins. Get onto it Rob.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
