Well car is all ready to go, I'm set, all is right with the world. See you at Vilis tomorrow everyone, will be good to catch up again Pete! Dave, if I don't see you in the morning I'll catch you at dinner tomorrow night

i'll see you guys at City Dismantlers tomorrow as GUNR35 is coming past my place first and going to Vili's is in the opposite direction.

weather forecast looks to be good so here's to a great day!

cheers - Kim

i hear a good day was had, but some of the GTR's had issues

I think my GTR was the only one that had an issue and that was the oil catch can spewing oil all over my engine. Made a huge mess and was a waste of Motul Chrono 300V but didn't prevent me from going out - it just meant that I had to clean my engine bay after every session.

Craig left early with his Stagea 260RS which was trailing a lot of black smoke on the track but I didn't speak with him to know what the specific problem was.

My best lap was 1:24.06 - I just couldn't break into the 23s but that was with a hand held stopwatch so that may have added the 0.07 :down::D

Ringlands were Craigs problem, severe detonation busted them real good. Any slight bit of curry and mass smoke. Poor bugger, heart goes out to ya Craig! Big thanks for letting me borrow the camera, I'll hook you up with it again soon :down:

Had a top day - thanks for organising the event Kim!

I was pretty happy to wring a 1:30.3 out of the near stock auto V35, which is the same time I was getting out of my old 6 speed S15 with 200rwkw. Definitely need better/bigger brakes to stop the massive fade and some much better tyres than the pos's that were on there. I find it completely bizarre that GTRs with nearly double the power only go 6 seconds (=7%) a lap faster .... I guess it is the nature of the sport. But scary too that Glenn's hairdresser's car (MX5) was doing 1:34s, and HELSLO's (turbo) Starlet actually beat me by around half a second. Yikes.

Burnt as faaaaaaaaaaark and going for yet another lay down now .... might call it a night (despite all the work I should be doing) and get up fresh and early in the morning *yawn*

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
