what a excellent weekend. if there were a few things i could have changed it would have been the heat and the bloody mozzies at night. we were camping on turn 5 so got to watch the drifters link a few corners which was great.

had 4 cruise sessions on friday and had a blast with some nankangs on the rear. serious 3rd gear skids. saturday was busy and only got two runs, but did some off street drags which was funny, started in second and turned tyres most of the way, just couldnt stick it. second cruise run on saturday was awesome as i was 3rd car out, so by turn 2 i had a clear track and really got to push, what a fantastic track. picked up 5th down the main straight, so much for 130klmh speed limit lol. put a the semis back on for sunday and was able to keep corner speed up which was good but lots of traffic. missed last session due to rain.

no breakages or issues, car didnt miss a beat. ill post vids tonight. thanks to sean and doof & nytsky for saying hi.

shiiiit, that wasnt a bad skid brus.........why dont you tell them about the one when we were going backwards lol

I reckon it would be funnier if you told the story. You couldn't speak for half an hour afterwards but surely you're okay now? :P If anyone has video it'll be pretty funny.

Let's just say front wheel speed was probably 100ish while rear wheel speed was 230ish. Oh, there might have also been the mother of all tank-slappers and spinning involved too. I thought it was pretty funny to be honest but Stu looked pale and somewhat shaky for quite some time.

Here's a closer view of my skid :)

i was there for that one. Most awesome skid because the v8 biased commetator wasn't expecting a car with the smallest capacity in the litter to rip a skid longer than half the blown v8 big blocks. the commentator was like 'and here we have what looks like a nissan silvia.....and....wow, he did pretty damn good'. lol

Haha good to hear dude :)

I knew it would do it, never actually had the space to try one that big, plus I was a bit angry that I was sidelined for a few hours on Saturday, that's why it's hard to hear the shift from 3rd to 4th haha. It just sounds like a drop in revs. Didn't use the clutch on that one.

Were you in the grand stand?

nah I was on the roof top (closer and better viewing) catching some cancer. Man it was hot that day. Did you find out who won the 0-200 sprint? the gsr evo looked like a good contender.

Cheers Paul.

It was a Torana and XY in the final, I lost to the XY so I came 3rd. The rules stated grooved tyres, next time I'll read between the lines as he did, Mickey Thompson ET DRAG slicks never came out with grooves, somehow his ones had them though. He pumped me out of the hole, I was coming back strong but it was too late!

Still stoked to make it that far :)

Bet you didn't get a trophy...as imports are somehow prevented from recieving one. The year i came third (after winning the race to get into the final and then told i had to re-run for jumping the start) i got nothing...even in the results on their website there was a blank space where my name should have been. Semi finalists and finalists were only listed and the semi finalist $200 cheque i should have recieved was put over the bar by GUP at the Eastern Creek Tavern.

Prizemoney

is what GUP stands for. :)

Hey Paul + Stace

Did you notice that the powercruise site does not list you in the top 4 of the street racing. The place is blank where I would expect you to be named.

There is $200 going wanting there + a trophy !!

Get onto it!

Matt

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
