hey shaun, know you probly havnt had a chance but will ask anyway, any luck with those tie down straps you mentioned about at the dyno day?

Thanks for the tip simon, turn 2 has been a killer for me since i started drifting, very rarely nail it. Lets hope saturday is a different story.

I have asked and i will get them for you but it just wont be for this saturday!!!! :thumbsup:

^^ You were there? Didnt see u! But then.. i was pretty out of it with the heat. U mustve seen us talking to her earlier in the day?

She use to work with luke, ive never met her before, but was talking with her a few times throughout the day, pretty nice cop, her and her partner she was with.

Yeh i was there with Ryan and Bek, left kinda while the presentations were happening!!

Nah i found out from her that she knew you guys, just bieng the nice guy i am, just talking to her about the day, and she said her friend was drifting the maroon skyline, and it clicked it was you and Luke!!

haha mini defect at lala, thats the first tym i have heard bout this lol

but seriously ppl are goin out there to watch n cops have to ruin the day dont they for sum

but congrats luke on linking turn 1 and 2, on ur third effort, looked good

Im glad the cops are there.. doing their job. Keeping alcohol out the pits etc.. saw them evict 2 young guys about 2ish who were already blind drunk. They warned them, and they wouldnt co-operate by giving their names so they got evicted.

They werent out there to 'ruin anyones day'.

Besides that, well done to all that competed.

Yeah I saw that too, there were a few drunk tools throwing beer bottles and such in the stands.

Didn't realised my brothers old housemate John Mc Cracken was a drifter until I saw his RX-7 on the track, not bad for old-school rotor power :)

I thought the best skids of the day were coming from the 31's and the old Rolla's :(

i am also glad the cops were there, dont need the place turning into a speedway city burnout comp with bogans and drunks everywhere. They did their job, defected 2 cars the whole day which is f*k all considering what they could have done, and kept people inline. Very hapy to see their presence in the pits too, keep alcohol and other random shit that shouldnt be going on in the pits out.

Have a read on the g1 threads on ns and you will see the cop with the moustache is now actually a registered member on there, he loves the sport and is actually wanting to help the drift community out, which is a first from a SAPOL member i reckon.

Thanks for the kind words from all though, new rims and tyres were hard to come to grips with lol as i just had too much rear grip now, hopefully counteract that with some more power for round 2 and should be all sweet :)

Oh and deluxe, my cop friend is a red head :nyaanyaa: unless she changed hair colour but i dont think i was out of it that much to miss that.

What? Not such thing as too much grip Luke! :( lol Was looking on NS for the results and couldnt see your name anywhere, it seemed quite strange, I even thought you didnt compete in the end.

Congrats to all that competed and braved the heat...Did anyone killed their engine on that heat?

Cheers

Ahhhhhhh tickety flamo.......... well it was dark, and i just assumed it was blonde, was just trying to be a nice guy so she didn't get her knickers in a knot with me!! :laughing-smiley-014:

lol, yeah I don't think Darren was looking at her hair Luke. :thumbsup:

Thats right Pete i was looking at her guns........ I mean gun!!

Is it eddie modra in the green sprinter? His new engine died before he even got to qualify!

think a few cars had gearbox issues, few overheating problems here and there also, but yeah only 1 dead engine

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
