I was gunna come over for a quick chat over in the parking bays with you guys but I just wanted run after run. :) i managed 14 in total.

strich: my brother in law owns Speedfreaks and he just sent in a letter to apply for them and received a call as soon as the letter came in for him to come and pick them up, theyre cheaper than a years worth of rego theyre coming in pretty handy.. not a single hassle from the cops whatsoever, be it during the day or 3am driving through northbridge. *TOUCH WOOD*

Well on my way home from indoor cricket I got onto reid hwy coming home and sure enough the car pulled hard to 6500rpm through 1st/2nd and 3rd, with the boost set to 0.8bar. The only difference from tonight and sunday was the ambient temperature, maybe my stock intercooler is full of crap and needs flushing or cleaning, should try and have a look.

Yeah, anyone know where we can get a hold of 2nd hand drag slicks? Not circuit racing slicks, their stiff side walls would be useless for drag racing.

Circuit racers will be alot better than your low profile street tyres let me tell you!

2nd hand Drag slicks are usually 14 or 15 inch jobs so finding a suitable rim will be a hassle.

Why not save up for some BFG Drag radial TA's they are low profile and are real 'sticky' street tyres. About $300 or less a pop.

Yeah thats Michael my mate from work.

Thats fast that little thing......S13s are a wicked "Bang for your Buck" car. He ran 13.66 on street tyres. Another S13 ran 13.5 but he was using slicks.

Michael has only got pod, exhaust, intercooler and 15psi..... not bad. We are just about to ordered a SAFC ($472) each...

Adam - his car didn't blow up it was just a part of the intercooler piping came off but it was easily fixed on the spot. You can't laugh anyways.......... :D

Adam 32..

your mate with the 180sx running 13.4 ?

what sort of mods does he have.?

I've got the fmic, t28, zaust and pod and running 1 bar for now, apart from the couple of extra pounds, does he have anything i don't..?

I'd be stoked to think I could get close to that sort of time..

cheers

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
