How about Dave TO4GTR?

Would be great to get a whole stack of GTR's to this

well seeing my car will be at the auto salon aka fashion show.... and dave will be working at OP as its the last round of the V8's..... il volunteer to bring his car :banana:

*over Dave's dead body more than likely*

Im allowed to take it by myself to work and stuffs... but to the Bathurst might be pushing it!!

Whats so good about the GTR's? LOL

I'd swap my black bish in a heartbeat for Daves car ... :banana: ....its sounds cool...and its sooo hard to drive which makes it all the sweeter :banana:

Whats wrong brad?

My car spilt its guts(water only) on the dyno today. Seems to be coming from the water pump area but will know more in a day or two. Still had oil pressure and no loud knocking noise so i got no idea.

Spanna..Your car is going to Auto Salon...

Well, if you want someone that pretty fussy to clean the inside, just call me..You've seen my car when its clean. Happy to help ya.. :banana:

Yah... they are going for the kw's angle this time round... so I offered to lend my bish.. :bunny:

Might take you up on that!

BUt looking for a datto so bathurst isn't entirely out yet.... I missed out last year due to a spun bearing.... Just too many things on this one weekend!

yeah basically organise your own accomodation :banana:

Unless someone wants to do it?

Last 2 years Ive stayed at a mates place, but see what happens this year.

Im actually heading up friday midday and coming back monday.

Jess,

I hope so :) Cant wait!

I will see if there have any spots left after Dutton ;) Cheers Chris

Rims wrapped with RE55's on the way.... "lock me in eddy"!!!!

Just a few more items to add before hand but cant wait!!!! Especially pwning chubbs & clapa down conrod straight... *so not going to happen* :)

Chubbs, and those who have been, does anyone attempt this on street rubber?

The car looks like it should be ready, oil cooler and boost controller tomorrow, with tune next week but now thinking it might be put off till next year, cause there's no way I'll get semis in time (funds and actual time) :)

I have personally not attempted Bathurst at high speeds (normal driving speed), but have tried both Oran Park and Wakey on streets and semis. Wakey is fine... plenty of room for 'failing', Oran Park on the other hand is quite scary on streets. There is simply a noticable difference between a street tyre and a semi, especially when cornering near walls (such as Bathurst).

This said my street tyres were Federal 595ss which were fine for about 2 laps of Oran GP. With the semis, it can take a lap for them to come up to temp....

So in short LOL.... if you get yourself a decent street tyre/semi... such as Federal 595ss or RT615's (something similar) I think you would have no reason not to attend.... as each event is simply a quick sprint... not consecutive laps...

It comes down how hard you want to drive. A semi will allow you to push the cornering/grip that extra 10-20%, but on a track like Bathurst, you would almost be silly to push it that hard.... I know i wont be!!

Thanks Ando,

Not having long runs was why i was thinking it should be ok.

+1 for not pushing to the limit. More than anything I want to drive Bathurst at a quicker than normal speed limit pace. That's about it. No track records from me :-)

The tires I have atm are Yokohama DNA GP, heaps of tread and handle pretty well.

Ill be on street tyres if that helps?

And they'll be worn down to (if not past, like usual) the indicators on the rears. Fronts will be good though

Using this as an excuse to finish off some street tyres ive got here before buying new ones

Will have a good amount of power but as you've both said, im not pushing it 100% either

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
