Big CONGRATS again buddy. It put a massive smile on my bloody dial.

The 3 of us will sleep very god damn well tonight...

Sorry to hear about the BSM GTR,,, Dave I was so hoping you would get through the weekend as well.

Neil.

Yea Ben race 3 is like a trophy race,,,it's always 2 laps longer than the 1st 2 races. :down::P:banana:

Evil,,,we were told that it holed a piston late in the 2nd race,,,I feel for them,,,I really do.

Team Raceworx has been down that road way toooo many times,,,,I know what it's like and how they feel.

But on a brighter note,,,I got the biggest hug from Kelly after race 2,,,,Thanks Baby it meant a lot,,,shit a brick we were both so stoked.

Neil.

hi all

we had the engine go flat so i pulled off. we did not run 3rd race just in case . we pulled engine out and apart to find a fair bit of detonation on number 4 piston (maybe injector u/s) . did have a little moment on some bodys oil in turn 1 at over 220 kph.

thats racing!!!

dave BSM

ps top job duncan,

Thanks everybody! Its great to finally break through, this is the first race win I've had and to do 2 in one day is amazing.

As most of you know we've been working hard on this car for over 5 years now, especially Kel, Neil and Mark putting heaps of work into it. Today all the blood, sweat and tears paid off in a big way for me - I guess the longer you work on something the more it means when you get there finally.

Eastern Creek is by far the worst track for the skyline, the big power commodores have a big advantage there, and it was damn hot too. I was stoked that I could match it with those guys there, especially considering the cars at the front of the grid are 80K+ builds each (makes my budget look hilarious)

sorry no idea how to use youtube so here is a good quality vid of the start of race 2.

It was interesting.....out of 5th spot I bogged pretty bad. The commodores knew the 4wd was coming and closed the gap (you can see me think about shoving it in then changing my mind lol). Then switch to around the outside around turn 1, brake very (too) late for turn 2 and somehow miss the car in front. Luckily he understeered and gave me half a car gap so I went around the outside in turn 3, 2 wheels on the dirt (sorry Paul). Pretty interesting 50 seconds lol

No shit, this car has been built on the driveway....I am over the moon tonight.

Dave glad to see you weren't the cause or affected by the oil on turn 1. The 2 leading cars both went off on it - I run 180 in turn 1 so I hate to think what speed those case were doing when the left the track (I bet it was 40klm/h faster at least)

I hope you get it back together for superlap and the next round at Wakie, I love what you guys are doing taking on that category in such a serious way. Not exactly the same as that nugget we are putting together lol. Hey at least the gearbox made it this time.

I also came across FAT-R34 today he was helping one of the prod sports car guys....hope they went OK too.

Holes and detonated pistons ARE the new spun bearings Duncan!! I suffered the same thing a week ago now the BSM boys have done it too. Dry sumps have fixed bearing problems.

Dave there is a few detonation detecting systems around now that can interface with the motec datalogging. Im looking at one really good unit at the moment which ill be using with the MXL pro to log knock.

Duncan and I were talking about having spare engines on stands ready to go last night. I hope yours is assembled and ready??

Congats on the round win mate. Like I said to you last night its good to see you finally have a strong engine and a good car around it!

As you say loscapilo's dunny dore IS an 80K plus car as is tony Virag's thing. Not an easy feat to beat them around the creek.

Edited by Risking

here is race 1/lap 1 on youtube

and race 2 lap 1

haha Ben you're right I go a bit easier on the launch these days. Remembering it has to run a single plate clutch and deal with 3 full bore standing starts follwed by a 20min race each weekend....I learned last race that there is no point getting a great launch if you have to retire at the end of lap 1 with a burned up clutch. Plus, it seems to work OK still :)

Big well done and big WELL earned. 205 ks yeah right.

Behind every successful man is agod women and no doubt big help from Kel, and Neil to, no doubt over the years. Benm there again to, you get the record fure sure.

Sorry Lofty re engine, rigning it's neck playing with the big boys. Although there is enough time to get it going again for next Sunday? If we can help at all just let me know.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
