20/12/08 Willowbank Pre-test N Tune Session - 3 Hours


Recommended Posts

Any who wish to stay on for TNT after we finish are welcome to at no extra expense.

The time issue is this;

We originally hired a 3hr window due to the large interest showed at the enquiry stage to members about numbers.

QR set a minimum number of vehicles at 30 for a 2hr slot at a preset track hire rate, addition cost for extra hour/s above initial booking.

We did the math-carried the 5- and worked out an extra 10 cars would cover the next hr and not take time out of peoples runs on the strip from 30 into the 2hrs which was roughly 4 runs each.

When the paid numbers remained so far below the required target we nearly had to cancel the event.

It is with the true kindness that QR have displayed by allowing us to run without 30 cars in the first place that has enabled the Event to continue, however, we were unable to do an extra hour at the rates we have charged.

So, this comes as a request from me to 'you all' to allow us a 'bit of grace' with the changes we have had to make to get the event off the table & you into your cars to post some times, rather than cancel it altogether.

I hope this answers a few questions to any who are interested

$48 from 2pm to 4pm... I thought it was originally 1pm to 4pm??

this price still does not include Test'N'Tune afterwards right? Is there a discount if we stay for Test'N'Tune?

Willowbank set the price, not us.

40 cars - 3 hours. Everyone wanted drags, we gave them drags. Comes time to pay and no one is keen. Anything less then 40 cars is 2 hours (set by willowbank) just like the pricing

cmon ppl pay up and have a crack at the strip, i have paid yet i am unable to go. either way i have paid so if someone wants my spot as a chrissy present and i dont even know you then pm me and ill give you my spot for free. ill then let toddls know of who is taking my place. SOMEONE GO AND SUPPORT THIS DAMN EVENT. FOR FU#KS sake. I dont want QR to not let us have this event again due to lack of support. we are lucky to be going ahead with this at all!!!!

Sad times ehh...........

A previous pre-Test N tune I attended we were allowed to continue at no extra cost, just had to get reissued with a new racing number :P

Who knows, might lucky again.

Hey Guys, question on the spectators??

Is there a cost for extra spectators???

Like if I were to rock up with 5 people for example?

i have a feeling there is an extra cost , but im sure if we stop and organise it just before we get there we can shuffle our mates off to other cars with just a driver and get us all in for free

Adults $19, Students with ID $17, Kids under 13 FREE

sweet.Unfortunatley i can only go as a spectator, my fuel pump is dieing and i dont trust it , i havent got the time to change it.Anyone from the sunshine coast wanting to head to this toogether , jump on the sunny coast thread and we will work something out.

should be good fun me and a mate are both coming from bundy lol both running similar crappy kkr setups but should still go alrite i guess lol

Edited by l0WRB

.40C pots? im so there. I wana see how your link goes after a few flogins 10wrb. I have since found the link distributor and wouldnt go elsewhere if u still want a tuner for ur ecu

Come on. Who doesnt want to spank a glittery R34 down the strip!

Edited by coaster

for the record. im taking my glittery possibly stock turbo standard ecu r34 down the strip. come and prove this thing is slow. i dare you!

Havent confirmed with sau but im sure they wont turn down any of the spot payments??? Come for a squirt against some of the fastest cars on track! Wish i still had my old one.

lol ok...

bloody my mates got the new g4 link and same setup as me cept standard inlet manifold etc and it pulls so much better grr lol

swear it has torque and mine doesnt lol and he runs 17psi and im up around 19/20psi

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
