sheet, thats *this* saturday. Yup.. BP coomera sounds good. 8:30a is an early start, but I think I can make it :P

I'm staying at my mates place down the GC this weekend, so heading down that way anyhow. After DC i'll just head back to the GC.

I am out, picked the line up Friday and one of the turbos decided to shit itself, has been sent to Townsville for repairs but we are out. Feeling a little depressed so have decided not even to spectate.

Good luck to all those racing and make sure you take ALOT of photos of the bikini contest (as well as the racing).

Who is still coming to meet at Coomera tomorrow b4 heading off?

I am still up for it.. but the heat looks like it could put a huge damper over the whole thing if its the forecasted 41 degree heat ends up being a reality!! I know i'd never drag my car in that heat.

If the car turnout is going to be low due to the heat don't want it be a whole waste of time and trip. It seems quite likely ??

Can just save the money and spend the time in my mates pool instead :)

I reckon they should post pone it. If not for the attendees but for the drivers... **** sitting in a car with the windows up and no aircon on with long sleeves, long pants and shoes...

Yeah, seems stupid to be honest. There will be dramas somewhere. But guess you can't just "postpone" a large event like that for those coming from all around QLD and possibly interstate.

blk: by that theory get there early in the morning :) later in the day everybody could have given up and gone home. But no idea !

The postponed it last time it was one. I personally don't think it's such a big issue with this one as compaired to the last one. Last dragcombat was the only event for the whole country. This year they are taking it to nearly every state. But yeah, they postponed the last one, even if it was only for one day :D

Also, I've been watching the trends of the heat lately through the BOM website and it's actually the hottest in Ipswich/Amberley around 2ish in the afternoon, then it drops. So either early morning or late night is the way to go :)

They postponed it for one day last year because of the heavy rain.

So ...it's going to be hot, it might be less humid out there than in Bris. Cancelling would cost them a fortune and is simply not on,

We are taking the car out there ....and we will run, doesn't look good for 12's though.

Any of you guys make it out there,don't be shy, come and introduce yourselves....you might even get a cold drink. Look for a tatty maroon Rangerover with a silver 4 door beside it..shouldn't be hard to spot the number plate....51JAY, nice of him to let me drive his pride and joy

Anyway Ithink we should make the effort to support Drag Combat and we'll be doing our bit See you there

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      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!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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!
