thanks for a great day guys. I had a lot of fun and got to drop a few skids in the xr6t. Only thing i'd change is that last battle, everything else was great.

Is there a list of times that comes up at all? Would be nice to compare.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for coming!

Thanks to organisers and helpers for braving some of THE most REDICULOUS weather I've ever seen! I'm burnt like hell from the sun and my feet are peeling skin from the rain. The wind actually broke my umbrella!

Thanks to UNIGROUP ENGINEERING for the prizes to give out! (Don't forget, afternoon dyno day there on the 6th of March!)

Thanks to the Camaro boys for giving us a good show!

Thanks as always to the Canberra guys for doing much the same, and the commitment to travel all that way for a flat bit of tarmac! :P

Much the same to the Wollongong boys!

Times will probably be up some time tomorrow.

Awesome day folks.

As for sunburnt - doesn't even begin to describe my forehead. Maybe Sunroasted, sun-char-grilled.

Its way beyond burnt.

Was great seeing some nice cars driven in anger :-)

As for the Camaro's. God Damn!

But safe to say Coilovers 1 - Leaf Springs 0

lol. good work today everyone, I enjoyed some skids despite the shithouse weather for part of the day, and it looked like there were plenty of people enjoying the skids!

good work from the camaro guys too, I think a lot of the courses were a bit tight, but man they smoke tyres and sound good.

Indeed, a massive thanks to Yavuz at Unigroup Engineering for the prizes we gave out today.

Also, a big thanks to all the people who organised and helped out today - as Chubbs, Steve-O and Doof have already mentioned, these days could not go ahead without your help and support, so THANK YOU!

LOL!!! :rofl::P

Had an awesome day today for a first timer too! Thanks to everyone involved for putting it together. Ran very smoothly! :P

Oh and the rain made it more interesting.

Good to meet a few new faces too!

thanks doof, might see when mats leaving.

I'll be at the truck stop just before Picton Road (On Mt Ousley) leaving at 6AM from there...

(Matt the rb30 breaker)

Are you bringing your trailer?

did you make it home OK?

did you make it home OK?

I made it... But the age ol' RB30 still has that horrid rattle in it...

Seems to mainly be when free revving and taking off, once properly loaded it "seems" fine...

Meh... That's what you do to $600 motors... I hope I pleased everyone with the effort... :D:P

And to everyone who organised, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, I don't think I've EVER driven my car that hard EVER before... I especially liked taking on that GTR in the first battle, whom only got home first as he missed the gate... :rofl:

hmm may not be a bearing after all then (although you bloody deserve it if it is :P) generally a big end is a rythmic knock that gets worse when you rev it (more revs = more load = more noise)

Yeah, it seems to shut up once I've got it loaded...

And come on, I've already done a big end... Or are you meaning I deserve it for such avid use of a hard limiter?

Great day guys - thanks to all the organisers....steveo, neil, duncan, chubbs, dr top bloke, ando, spanna and stu! (sorry, editted!)... top effort boys

glad to see the mighty 180 survive yet another thrashing! So stoked to see it finally running nicely.... an SR with no rattle... after 100,000kms...AMMMMMMMMMMAZING

oooo and thanks for my prize! Unigroup..here i come!

your car has a rev limiter?????

I call it a rev limiter, every else seems to call it a bang bang feature...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
