Hey... did everyone know that at the end of the August there is a Club sprint- saturday and Drift Meet- Sunday at the Ipswich Raceway... It should be a awsome weekend and we already have plans to have a few cars entered... hopefully pete will have his rev monsta back together... and the Cefiro is just begging to be driven hard at a track meet... at the moment it looks like we will head down Friday and home monday. For anyone interested contact Jay or myself and we will get you exact dates and we will hopefully be able to convoy down... It should be an interesting trip down anyway... oh... and expect a stop at Broadwater Carpark for a perve...

the rumour on the street is that at the next test and tune at benaraby we might have some double GTR action... although I think rick should reconsider and go down as well... Willo vs Dev vs Rick... now that should be neat to watch... top entertainment as far as the FRIs go... actually I think if we all hit the scene a bit we could make a fairly good impact on the Drag Scene at Benaraby... as long as the camary wagons don't beat us!!! that must have been annoying to all the Import racers that weekend... an auto Camary wagon taking home the win... anyway we might have to put a stop to that...

Another question for all... Does anyone know if there is a Skyline getting around Rocky using Nitros... A mate from the Automatic Shop told us that they filled a bottle (the automatic shop fill Nitros bottles : shamless plug ) for a guy in a four door Skyline that was headed to the Drags... now take this as a ruff description because he called it a GTR... but then said he didn't know that there were skylines other than GTR's... so if anyone knows if there is a Skyline running NOS on the weekend... or what times he/she ran... please post your info...

Anyways guys any info on upcoming events and action can be put in here... so have fun and don't be scared to tackle tuff issues in this site... just be prepared, and have your facts firmly based with books/sites to back you up... other than that it is free for all...

he he... I think your Val might need some bigger sidewalls to get the traction action happening... 18" wheels smoke like no tomorrow... I'm almost through a set of Nankangs already... it is a downer... they are cheap but still a little more expensive then 16" Feds...

Hey... I'm getting my Intercooler soon... he he he... that is me giggling like a little girl...

it'll be nice going as quick in the day as in the night...

oh... and the microtech might happen one day soon... I was running ok MPH and hopefully with a good traction run... a good tune, including microtech install (happening by my Bundy Mate as soon as the cooler kit happens) aiming for a 12... although it'll be harder than it sounds... and then the real fun begins...

actually talking of fun I heard that a certain big dollar GTR got it's arse handed to it by one very budget SR20 in a Stanza... that's what I hear anyway...

aparently Theo got chopped big time by the Stanza of Glen Hooper... you all know of Glen... he has the $4000 stanza and is a Microtech Wizz Kid... It definatly puts the big dollar GTR to shame... although I'm tipping the Stanza isn't quite as Circuit friendly as Theo's GTR... imagine trying to stop a Stanza from 300 Kph.... scary thought in my mind...

What GTR's have you got down that way? any serious ones or just stockers? Came through rocky about 6 weeks ago on a thursday night after getting some work done to my skyline on the gold coast , just about every car there was racing at the lights near our motel and I thought townsville was bad!

Hi everyone, just a update on what's going on with this Motokhana. The cost for the day is over $100 and so really too expensive however I am trying to organise some interested people to come down and spectate and show support so that when we run another one up here at Gracemere it will be at a cheaper cost.

It sucks, I won't be able to make it to the test and tune on the 16th. I was really looking forward to it but I need to do some CAMS training down in Gladstone instead.

Oh and having a head cold really SUCKS!:(

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
