Folks,

The 2008 Allied Metal Recyclers Speed Event Series kicks off on Saturday arvo/evening at Wanneroo. Starts at 4.30 pm & finishes under lights at 10.30.

Spectator entry is entirely free so why not come down for a look? Say hello even. :wave:

Full details are on the website (also calendar, entry form, registration, supp regs etc etc) and there will be the usual bewildering range of cars entered. Remember this series is our only state based sprint & hillclimb competition & features everything from sports sedans, wings & slicks open wheelers, ex rally cars, road cars, historic cars - you name it you will probably find it there. Well worth a look. :blush:

Well done Richard, a great result, especially considering the first 4-5 are dedicated racecars :(

Faaark me - the first four or five? :D I wish. Out of the first thirteen twelve of them are either race or rally cars. The other was a GT3 Porsche. :D I remember the old days when you had half a chance of a result in a road car. :)

Anyway my driving sucked badly on Saturday - so there is much truth in the rumour I couldn't drive out of sight on a dark night. Mind you, with stock brakes the thing can be seen from quite a distance. I can't even claim to have been the quickest Nissan on the night. Paul got me by 0.2 seconds. But I did manage to be the quickest Skyline. Mostly because George took his thing home on the back of a trailer after some unhappy engine noises.

It was a good day/night. Glad the 38 degree temperatures didn't eventuate.

Oh and next round is on in Collie on the 2nd March followed by the Busselton event (I think). Be nice to see some Skylines there.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
