Id like to know what im getting myself into if i agree to help.

Some people have no skills... you know who you are.

eh? I have crazee mad l33t skillz! Just no tools.

lol :lol:

At least I'm not a Captain Bolt Stripper, eh Boozstor :uh-huh:

I'll see if theres any stock of KCA349 in Perth, expect a call from me If there is :cool:

Daneesh, are u going down on sunday??? are u running, i'm trying to get my hands on a 2nd hand safc, from what i heard from Joey, u had alot of sucees with urs, so ii'm keen to get 1 in and tuned, think i will get a power increase????

thinking of running the quarter tho...... i av no idea how to lauch ma car so I DUNO

I'll be there to spectate, for sure. If I can get new rubber and the kca349 kit before Sunday, then I'll run as well.

2 thumbs up for the s-afc. Sorting out af ratios and confusing the ecu into not knocking back timing did wonders for me. 253rwhp at Barrys dyno.

Come down on Sunday, it should be great. Launching at the track is much like launching on the street - hold revs, side step clutch at 2nd orange light and hold on for the ride.

is this anyones first time at the drags apart from me? i need someone els to make a fool of themselves bogging down off the line with me!!

I wouldn't worry about that Adam. The first time I went I was a little bit nervous but no one really cares if you make a mistake. No one has made a perfect launch everytime.

My first run I thought I had gone over the staging line so i chucked it in reverse and as soon as i did that the green light went..... wasnt my best run :cool:

Ben

Yep this is gonna be my first run :uh-huh:

So get ready for some serious insanity launching:burnout:

Im sure ill bogg it down good. Joe u can use a spare helmet i might be able to find but if not im sure someone will let you borrow theirs for a run or 2. :cool:

Guest KILLER-T

Good news all going well tomorrow i will be racing on sunday:burnout: :burnout: and if you want a lift joe give me a call and i will pick you up on the way.This is going to be lots of fun i have been hanging out to run my car since i had the new turbo fitted :uh-huh:

Called up Westshock this morning and reserved the last set of kca349 they had. Picked it up this afternoon and looks like word is getting around, cause someone else wanted a set after I'd reserved.

Organized for a pair of yoko A539 to be fitted on Friday. They really should be going on the front, but I may put them on the back for couple of days so I can loose the top skin at the drags.

So, looks like I definantly will be going. :burnout:

KILLER- T, good to hear your able to run. Lets hope the traction gods are smiling on you :)

Guys/Gals

You want to launch about 500RPM higher than FULL BOOST RPM. This is what ive been told and seems affective.

When wheels start to spin back revs off slightly then all the way to redline, Snap 2nd gear and hold on thru gears hehehe

Higher boost/power newbies to motorplex 2nd gear snap seems to launch you into whatever direction you are pointing ie if back wheels kick out u may need to straighten up or u will go offcourse :-)

I find the track is a fair bit grippier than black asphalt

IMPORTANT. Most slightly modded skylines will do a +160kmhr terminal speed which is just over 3rd gear redline so make sure u take 3rd to the end

:burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

Does anyone agree with this

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
