Anyone going on the Sat 14th to PI (training day Sat = more laps, timed sprint Sundary 15th)

Keen to see some GTRs flash past me down the straight! I'll be there in my Datsun 1600 13B BP, hoping to sneak under 2 minutes this time around. Best day of the year.

I'd have my left one ripped out if I raced on Valentines Day... :happy:

hehe, :domokun:

And given you already had your right one ripped out for buying another racecar after the STi "incident" you really need to hang onto that left one mate :banana:

PS - I'm out. Car won't be ready in time :P

If United don't get their 100 RON delivered this week I am out too without a major retune.

I'm told the Bayswater station has been out for over 2 weeks and the Mulgrave one I normally go to is out as well, with the guy behind the counter having no idea when deliveries will be.

Best time for the day: 1.48.6

Too Windy

No one looks in their mirrors

Too many cars of varying times on the track

Could of had 7 sessions - although they did not time the last two for some reason

A big accident, hope the guy is ok. Car was a mess.

If anyone from United Fuel is watching this, get your finger out and make sure there is enough fuel for me - before the actual day of competition, not on the day!!! :D

And Ant - I see you nearly cracked the 49 again!! - That's quick for 280RWKW.

Agreed BB....too windy and too hot despite the breeze. Don't know about you but I was hitting some pretty serious oil temps around the 130-140mark before I backed off. In some sessions there was a lot of traffic and some people seemed to think it was a race, but the extra traction out of corners helped with that :laugh:

Didn't beat my 1:49.68 with a best of 1:50.28 but the fact that 8 laps out of 19 were in the 1:50's I was at least consistant.

Yeah, I was seeing 130 deg oil temps - however that's normal for me - even with the oil cooler. I rest the car when water temps go over 95+ as I seem to lose some ign timing past that to save the engine.

I have a vented bonnet to fit before the WRX PI event to try and get some temp out.

There was a guy in a white BMW that most of us wanted to punch in the head for being a tool. :laugh:

Glad to see I wasn't the only one running with those sort of temps but normally even on a hot day I run a max of 120. I guess that is the bonus of running 270-280rwkw in that I don't feel a loss of power when the engine is running that hot :)

The only white BMW I saw was the beautiful E30 original group A car...do you mean that? He was in my group (7) and came up to me before the first session saying that he has only just bought the car and was giving it a bit of a shake down and test. Funnily enough I only had one session when he was in my group and the last I saw of him was disappearing straight on at MG :)

The tool I had in my group was an improved production Civic that wouldn't let me past and when he left a gap on the inside of MG for me to use he decided to fight for the spot :thumbsup:

Yep, that's the guy, he was falling off everywhere and generally not looking in his mirrors.

      Nissan fuga 450gt android screen

      By Duncan · Posted

      That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
