whether there is 30 cars or 100 cars the price per car stays the same, the people at willowbank are charging us $48 per car regardless of numbers and require a minimum of 30 cars for them to put it on, so even if club members do get a discount it will be paid for by the club, not subsidised by non members paying more

So then why not keep it to thirty cars... less cars = more runs...

Why would we want to pay willowbank more money if we dont need too???

Who needs warm down time... :ermm:

Going by Noels figures (4 cars per minute roughly) if we keep going and going on 30 cars (assuming no one has a spill) we will get about 16-20 runs each...

If your cars can handle 30 laps of QR a day what are you worried about???

Bring on 20 runs in a row :wave:

PS> I heard Josh is pregnant

Most people i have talked to only want half that amount of runs, plus it gives more people a chance to come out and meet other Skyline enthusiasts and have a run at the track in a friendly environment

20 runs in a row...getting significantly slower each time due to everything being heat soaked to hell...YAY ha ha

Woohah, way to change the direction of the thread. Stop being a knober or I’ll leave poo nuggets and my fetus on your crisp lawn Col-Baby

Not everyone will want 20 consecutive runs in a row, those who want to socialize and talk to other skyline owners will do so and those who want a few more runs will line back up while others are having a chat.

I see no issues?

As already mentioned it’s a set price of $48 from Willowbank.

In regards to members, it’s just like having a discount count card, holders of that loyalty program could receive a better offer then those who don’t hold that certain “loyalty card”. It’s irrelevant that it’s not an official event .

Excuses :)

Yeah no worries, I just dont wanta see 100 cars turn out... It would be nice to be able to get 10 or so runs down...

Plus even if you limit it to 30 there is alwas a 10-15% drop out at the last minute... So it makes sence to have a few extras...

So maybe 50 cars would be a reasonable number, yeah???

To address the cost issues for those who want to know.

Willowbank Raceway charges a particular rate to book the track for 2 hrs and then a fee rate/hr for any hour after that.

We have put a ceiling on the number of vehicles as to give everyone a fair go when it comes to go-fast time.

i.e fewer cars more runs/more cars less runs, I know which I prefer

As to the remarks of why cheaper for members- see Nismo_Boy above

We value our members and this event is a token of our appreciation those who have been with us on this awesome place/site to meet other Skyline owners. This is not to say that unpaid are not welcome cause you are :yes: As non members you are most welcome and there are incentives to paying for membership-so come on you'all sign on up & come have some fun. :P

As to the mention of Bikes- If you are at all interested in bringing your bike thats ok with us.

To all the noobs out there,

Drags are not how you run against others, This day is about creating a personal best 1/4 time and seeing how much you can improve it.

To all who are coming- have a great day & remember as SAU we have a reputation of being well behaved. So lets have fun & leave all baggage at the gate

    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
