I would have loved to go but I can't make this day but let me know if anyone has any questions.

Hi, is this event still going ahead?

This is held by Eastern Creek, anyone with an L2S licence can rock up on the day to go fast! Chances of it falling over are minimal, but if you are paranoid just give them a ring (9672 1000)

I should be making an appearance around 1330 :P

i think he means is it still going ahead as in, is it still an open day

they recommend you check a couple of days in advance just to make sure it hasn't been canned.

I'll call tomorrow boys.

turned out to be a excellent day.

Not so much for the car though. The front right tyre delaminated just at the end of my last session so I had to drive home with the craziest vibration ever. Lumps of rubber falling off everywhere! I thpught about throwing on the limp-home but I just crawled home. Turbo is now making a funny noise :)

Thousands. It was pretty packed. Not many 100% hotlaps which was really the only downside. One minute I was being smoked by r35gtr's the next your trying to find your way around old school escorts with grumpy drivers who won't let you pass :)

Yeah it was packed because they had Australian GT cup practice on that day for the race meetings overs the weekend. Instead of having the usual CARS, BIKES and L2S sessions, they had:

1) OPEN WHEELERS,

2) CARS (ppl who have a race licence),

3) AUS GT CARS,

4) BIKES, and then,

5) L2S.

So very few sessions. I only did two full sessions and one 5 min one due to some one coming off and I struggled with tyre temps and grip throughout all of them. It was still pretty cool though, to watch Lambo's, vipers, porsches and Corvettes going around...

FloydWest, were u in the black r33 GTS-T with a carbon/vented bonnet?

yeah that was me.

I struggled with grip too. Came off twice at turn 4 and once coming out of turn 2.

Well, I blame grip - but it's most likely my terrible driving skills.

How many sessions did u do? I only remember being on the track with you for the 2nd last session of the day (i.e. the 3:10pm one, i didn't stay for the last one).

Is your car ok? You were saying that the turbo is making weird noises now?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
