I'm gonna do some really early runs then chill till the eliminations

It'll be you & me, & damn near EVERYONE else following the same plan mate.

F@$&!#G weather :P It just had to pick the one day a yr that the Nats are on to hit mid 40's!

Yeah it sucks but what can you do?!

This arvo my car started doing something unusual - I had my exhaust fixed this morning cos I bent it a bit on a kerb (long story) and now it seems to get a real shudder around 4,500rpm in almost every gear .... either that or my flywheel is slipping (is that even possible?) .... either way I don't like it. Will see how it goes tomorrow. Other than that the power is excellent currently so I am fairly happy.

I just put 4 litres of tolulene in my tank with 20 litres of fuel .... that'll hopefully prevent any pinging in the hot weather :P

Looking at tonights BOM update there's a tiny chance things will cool down a tad later in the evening...... It does give a Min on Sat & Sun of low/mid 20's though.

Saturday : Very hot with freshening northeast to northwest winds, ahead of a

*moderate to fresh west to southwest wind change during the afternoon. Becoming

milder in the evening*. A possible thundery shower about the northern ranges with

the change.

Yep. Too many 180Bs, magnas & crappy chookcookers.

We should just have our own one next year - still meet with the big group,

but then go else where so we dont get stuck behind 16 y/olds in mummys magna.

SAPOL & Regency pressure has certainly pushed a number of the "nicer/serious" cars into hiding. I for one will not go near a major cruise these days! It really is sad :) What ever happened to police discretion? We can thank the idiots who act before they nail the throttle/do burnouts & so on for the extreme scrutiny. I'm not saying don't have a bit of fun on the road but think before you act!

Rant over.

Thanks John :)

Like I said in one of the other threads, I'm happy considering the heat, running with a boost leak (could feel the car down on power on the 12.8) & over 12mths since I'd last hit the strip. I feel a bit bummed at not getting the full potential out of the car, but there's always next time.

yeah i was stuck behind a couple geminis and a pulsar everywhere, that made the cruise even worse

also a few people put there foot down (a bit)as they were leaving the carpark, and the cop was taking down there rego's

Hey all Was unable to get to the Nationals it was just one thing after another and in the heat travelling from the sticks was to much. Was the cruise like last years ? I heard it was a rotor nationals. GTR's was there any at all ? and Munro what happened? So many questions

Lets make the dates for the Nationals in Autum, with a pre arranged weather of around 23c and small breez. Plenty of half naked women serving the drivers with drinks and food, Great music and some interstate door slamers and top fuelers to spice it up that little more.

Anyway it was just an idea.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
