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.

Ur

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

      Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.

      R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
