Yea Ryan,,, be out there some time tomorrow.

Just a little word of advice for the teams and organizers. If any of you have one of those petrol driven blowers,,,BRING it. Oran park are a lazy bunch of bastards and I'll bett Duncan's rear end the track will be filthy,,,especially the righthander before going up to the bridge(right in the braking zone).

Have fun tomorrow everyone.

Neil.

bring on the rain. it will show the men from the boys . but stay away from the inside on the straight . that wall hurts

Talking from experience are we Gregy. Is there something you haven't told me.

Steve-o sucked in mate No more rotary jokes,,,the cars sold.

Neil.

I want to know when they put a wall on the inside of Oran Park :P

I was *sure* I had tagged the wall at the day night meet the other day, but not a scratch to be seen. Having hit it a few times I can 10)% assure everyone that it doesn't hurt at all when you hit it at a very shallow angle (well the wallet maybe)

BTW good news all SAU NSW club members, we have organised access to the 2nd last Corporate room above the pits. So we can be warm and dry watching all the action tomorrow. Each member is welcome to bring 2 guests as well. Everyone else can either join the club or freeze their arses off :)

haha my rear end is pretty loose at times anyway. luckily gary helped firm it up and it handles much better now

bring your own hot choc pit bitch :P

LotusDave, are you the first entrant for the excuse book? By the look of the forecast you will still be more than able of showing the dattos the way around the track.

SAUers, just look for the banners at the pits and head up there.

Car tuned...nice 11.5afr's.

brakes bled...fresh Castrol SRF

tyres fitted...Dunlop's...mmm

loading the car in about 1/2 an hour.

and up at 4am to make the gate at 7.30am

all the best to the other entrants...see you there

Would have to be the best event i have ever attended at Oran Park. Awesome day out!!

Congrats to the organizers for putting on a great event :(

Big congrats to John Boston,Mark Berry and Adam Newton on their trophies. Top stuff! Mark and Russ should have got a trophy for bringing the 35,a trophy for awesomeness!

Adam(Adz) do you have a tuned length screamer pipe? Because that thing sounded angry :) Still cant believe that thing is a stock internal 25.

Chris (evilweevil),you were pumping hard mate.I have some good shots of you coming out of the sweeper before the dog leg.

Dave(blitzxtr) Was great to finally meet you and see that GTR in action,for 16psi it sure did hammer.

I wish i had my car out there. Maybe next time. :D

    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
