Ive actually never done this event with semi's!!

Last year I took them up but the tyre shop stripped two nuts so I couldnt change tyres, I was still 3 seconds quicker than the year before on street tyres!

You got to remember that your semi's wont warm up as quick, and when they do, your run is over :P

but in saying that, I'll be in semi's....whether its the street semi's of the falkens or my old, shagged r888's

Hey Fellas,

Day 2 looks good, but how is day 1 run? You do a sprint down conrod from forest elbow with two cars at once? side by side? Stange concept.

How quick does it book out? I need a few weeks to have some car changes made and have a test run at QR before I book in.

cheers

Michael

Hey Michael!

Would be good if you can make it!

It can sell out pretty quick, within a few weeks.

The conrod sprint...(here comes an essay! haha)

There are 4 groups.

group 1 goes up from the pits, up conrod. you get 3/4's (most of the way actually) the way up, and you do a u turn at the bathrust light car club home driveway. you then go back down

conrod a bit, break into 2 lanes.

Its hard to describe, but with conrod, theres one ditch, go up a hill, and then it goes into the chase?

You basically start at that ditch on level ground. You can do a skid to warm up tyres (cant get on the brake though!)

Then bascially its a drag race - up the hill, then down into the chase.

through the chase, obviusly the quicker car would get the better line, unless they are waaaay in front!

then into murrays, and go across the start finish line and thats it!

then the next group goes up and so on!

For us liners - we are class SV over 3000

Last year we spoke to the organisers and I think they will allow us to enter in Type 2 or 3 over 3L. It's crazy to say that an R32 GTR can be type 2 but an R33 GTST is SV.

That said, I am out. I've just bought a track bike so no dosh for this.

    • 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.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
