Godzilla Motorsport wishes you all the best on your endevour to beat theos 8.95 time...

regards, mark

Thanks Mark, we have always had the H pattern record in our sights...even if we don't go that quick to have a good meet and manage a PB with consistent runs backing it up would be a success.

I still haven't recieved the Quantum and Speedflow invoices as earlier requested, please forward them to my email account so i can transfer you the cash.

good luck in your future racing and the crack at the 7.56.

Yummo!

Car smells like thinners now though.

Given the high standard of Taryn's cullinary talents she could make the guniea p1g the neighbours dog was proudly marching around with in its mouth this afternoon taste a treat!

Id say someone in the street would have had some quite upset children returning home from school this afternoon.

  • 3 weeks later...

sorry guys only just got internet access...

the small crack in the block that was repaired last time engine was freshened has opened up weeping coolant out. In the interests of my own and others safety i decided not to run the car. Looking back i probably should have grouted the block as the crack is below the bottom of the welsh plugs and grouting would have stopped it.

Its very strange as when the car was rolled back on Friday no coolant was leaking out of it. A little later i jacked the front of the car up in preparation for welding a lambda sensor bung at the base of the dump pipe and coolant started to drip from the rear of the engine. We stripped the engine on Friday night and tried to repair it but on Saturday morning started leaking again. Engine is now out and ill decide tomorrow if ill just grout it or replace the block with a fresh one.

Very disapointing for all involved with the car.

Unfortunate you couldn't make it today.

Is the car going to be heading back to the track at some point after repair ?...or will it now be taken out of action for good .

oh no we dont give in that easily...unfinished business needs to be attended to.

the car has never been set-up properly for drag racing until now...i couldn't live with the massive 'what if' by not running it again.

good to hear you're gonna give a hard nudge & get that 8sec 1/4 :unsure:

do u know what date you're heading out as yet?

Hey Paul i tried to call you today but your phone was off.

Were gonna organise a private test day for about 3 weeks so i will let you know

Cheers

Paul

hopefully they will give us a better track than last time

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • 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.
