and as some of u may have guessed it was pretty much a one sided battle :P

GO GIRL!

Josies best ET was 14.22 @ 101.10mph 60ft = 2.366

My best ET was 14.569 @ 97.63mph 60ft = 2.313

however

Soarers best ET was 13.879 @ 101.10mph (Driver inark)

NOTANRs best ET was 14.089 @ 93.16mph (Driver Dr_Drift)

As you can see i was getting a high mph but low ET... mainly cause i couldn't launch the damn thing with that racing clutch which was a shame...

We lined up twice and here are the results:

Josie 60ft = 3.121 ET = 15.296 @ 100.12mph

Me 60ft = 2.322 ET = 14.591 @ 97.76mph

Josie 60ft = 2.729 ET = 14.78 @ 100.81mph

Me 60ft = 2.782 ET = 15.038 @ 96.85mph

Highest MPH:

Josie = 102.2mph

Me = 98.41mph

Soarer = 102.22mph

NOTANR = 98.41

i still think the soarer could go faster, Josie was racing with TRC on, transmission in normal mode and OD which didnt help. The second time i drove with everything set how it should i lost traction all the way up the 60ft mark and had to back right off (stalled it too high off the line).... i reckon if we kept going we could have got it into the mid 13s.

I ended up giving control of my car to the good doctor as i was struggling to get it off the line not getting traction til after 3rd gear and all those times were done on low boost (10psi)... when i upped the boost to try and get into the 13s something broke... and it blew a lovely big cloud of black smoke as sam was driving it at about the 3/4 mark. More woes for my car.

Congratulations to my gf who didnt even want to go and was brought to tears at the thought of having to do it... once she got there and got on the track she was like a demon!! nice one and good on u for giving it a go... just wish i could have seen the reactions from ppl when they read ur name out and realised it was a girl driving it :D

hey i beat her in one race!! and the ET from that was faster than the one when she beat me... wasnt a total owning like u all thought it would be... :P on low boost.

and i dont know what broke on my car... going to have to take it to BMT and find out i guess... seems to happen when on full boost it just missfires and chugs... any other time its fine.

yeah thats the prob... after about 12runs we finally upped the boost and something went bad lol was running a bit hot i think cause when i went to put the boost up the heat from the turbo burnt my arm... and my arm was about 3 or 4 inches away from the turbo lol

even josie did 9 and i did 2 in her car... and we also just sat down the back with the bonnet up for up to 15mins a time talking... could have got more runs in if we liked and we left early

after about 12runs we finally upped the boost and something went bad lol was running a bit hot i think cause when i went to put the boost up the heat from the turbo burnt my arm
i thought you meant you upped it from inside the cabin and could feel heat from there. I was thinking that was one hot turbo but ahhh umm nevermind :P

lol ak... no just a simple bleed valve which took me 10 goes to change... helps if u turn it in the right direction... everytime i changed it i turned the damn thing down... funny thing was i ran a faster time with it less than 10psi lol

couple of funny pics....

i originally wasnt allowed to race as i didnt have the thing that holds the battery down on and it wasnt in the car so i had to bodge it up :P

west also came along in his R33 GTST and ran a 13.6 from memory... he got a bit of a sore hand changing gears... wonder why??

so well BEATEN BY A GIRL.. how does it feel?

and i dunno whether she reads in here - but GREAT WORK JOSIE!! Thats pretty good times for a fairly stock soarer. You did great.

:)

Sounds like it was a quiet night at Calder.. good you got heaps of runs in. The 2 times i've been i've been lucky to get like 3 runs.

still no news on my car :cry: "end of this week definitely"... bullshit..

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
