well are you in or are you in ?

I'm in, what time does it start and what time will you be there?

I know 1 car that won't be there, TKR!

If I run I'd have to ask him to wear one of my workshop shirts and help out!

Anything would be better than 2rismo's skirt and stockings outfit, damn things gave me the itch all day!!

But you looked so purdy!

Well a pretty good day I think, considering how damn hot the weather was and how slow the racing was.

First run on 20psi was a 10.5sec, then back into the pits for a quick plug change then back out for a 10.3sec and then i think it was 3 runs of 10 flats. The rear end didn't seem to hookup as well as it normally does and kept spinning the rears on launch (losing a solid tenth or 2 on 60's).

Nothing broken and no problems so I think it was a successful day (and I know the Ignition DVD boys have fun).

I'll let Paul post the pics/video's when he gets home :(

pretty accurate run down Ben...except no 10.3 run. Cheers for helping out on such a hot stinker of a day in the pits. I may have been putting too much heat into the tyres as the bigger burnout i did the slower the 60' times were. I think i may have been showing off for the camera's a bit too much. Vids soon.

so twoogle isnt retiring? :)

vids plz :)

all i can say at this stage is things are looking likely that we will continue racing with commitments already confirmed from Bodyform and Hypertune. CRD are also likely to continue their involvement in the car as well. Just need Motul (oil) and Vpw (fuel) to come to the party and we will definately be racing in both ANDRA and Sport Compact series.

VPW wont do anything. VPW who bring in sunoco or rocket who bring in VP fuels know that sponsorship wont increase sales in that product. they get more coverage out of the SCG's contingency which costs them stuff all.

have a look whos on the sunoco website.

back on topic...

car is performing spot-on and driver is getting to know car, conditions etc. First pass i even guessed within 2 hundreths of a second what the ET was. Consistentcy is the key and here's a quick summary of how its been running over the last couple of times at the track....all passes at 20psi have been 10.51, 10.48, 10.52 all at 130 MPH... passes at 25psi have been 9.99, 9.97, 9.98, 10.01, 10.06, 10.03, 10.10, 10.05, 10.07 at 137 and 138 MPH. Not too bad for a manually launched and shifted car. Throw me in the mix with all the other novice Sport Compact racers and i can see a good season coming up.

Please immediately remove those f**king horrible sideskirts and choke whoever made them!! :(

P.S. Great skid - didn't know you had it in you!

mmm baked em hard eh!

Hey what happened to the bitchy comments? That's the best part about the drag section - see old dudes get narky!!!

Oh yeah. Umm... Paul, you suck and your sideskirts are ugly.

Will that do? I had a big night...

Come on man, I've seen you get bitchier than that about a whole lot less.

p.s. they are not sideskirts, they are side steps/ sideboards. Helpful for small people to get in and out of car.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
