First test drive proved very enjoyable. Driving a big stalled auto is definitely a lot different to a manual setup.

Saturday Night Roll Racing at Queensland Raceway back on the 14th was the cars first event. Anyone not familiar with this event up here, it's an awesome and relatively new social racing event similar to a happy laps or powercruise session. People line up in the staging lanes and in pairs roll around to the main straight and drag each other. The nights very social and is as fun off the track as it is on the track.

a few days prior to the event I got a fabricator mate to pop around and we had some late night fab fun putting a side pipe on the car. Personally I think it turned out awesome. Bolts on and off just after the gutted cat is tucked up high on the car for good clearance.

Now it was time to actually take the car out there and have some fun with it. To be honest I was more nervous than I thought I would be, it was excited nervous but nervous all the time. Took the first few runs relatively easy just to get a feel for the new setup and how it would react, specially the gearbox.

Mates got a video of the maiden run for the car. Wins a win even if its not overly fast

Took a mate for a ride later in the night and got an in car video of a race. As you can hear 2nd gear is a bit of a write off as it just wanted to break traction and get loose. New to the setup I decided it best to get out of it and back on it rather than drive though it.

All in all the night was awesome and got a great felling of accomplishment finally getting the car out to an event. Few teething issues here and there to sort out like any brand new build but all in all a successful first night out.

What power is it making on e85 again?

Currently tune is very mild. 500rwhp at 25psi. TH400 is a power sucker, however the cams that are in the head are too small for the size of the turbo and we arent seeing good enough gains per PSI of boost we are adding so we brought it back to have fun at the track last weekend.

Cams are In:264 Ex:272. Inlet is the big killer

Turbo: 80mm Billet Turbocharger

More info on crank trigger setup please.

Some good photos of it a few pages back.

Both cam and crank triggers use Honeywell GT 101 sensors. There is also a small 12 tooth trigger wheel that sits between the balancer and the timing belt cog

Pretty quiet on the car front for the last few weeks, busy moving house and life in general.

Contemplating a few different things to change on the car. Typical RB life has me pushing decent amounts of oil into the catch can. Thinking of putting on a "Pre catch can catch can" i guess you could call it. Here is a few mock up pics of what it would be. Hoping that gravity helps keep at least some of the oil inside the covers lol

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
