no problems, and yeah it was a good weekend.

but what happened to "f**k you're boring Handley, next time I'm brining Pete to drink beer and talk shit all night"

Its great to have nothing to fix on a Skyline all weekend, and well done for good times and taking out the class.

^^ Good work Neil. Is there something that breaks on a GTSt?? :no:

How about a report on the Avons (other than their ability to pickup bottle tops), and a bit of in-car?

You need flares

Oh well,,, you realise your giving up the chance to pit for the coolest car there.

Fatz,,, I wouldn't trust him near a spannner let alone a case of beer.

I know, I know. But what can ya do... They only give me so much leave and money each year :(

Here's almost all of my race vids from Sunday,,,bloody youtube wouldn't load run 4. I couldn't be bothered recording any outside of the car. I was quicker in Saturdays practice but I just couldn't replicate it on race day and nor could almost anybody else.

This ones the 1st of the day and after some overnight rain it's just a sighter really.

Big launches were not the order of the day unfortuanely,,, this ones a 5500 grand launch.

This one I thought a very sedate launch would be better and it was until I stood on the load pedal.

This ones the last run of the day and my fastest,,,,2.30 in the arvo and by far the best traction of the day.

I am trying to build an rb engine and these are the prices i am used to, can someone please tell me if i am way off track here, but I can find an automotive machine shop that even touches these prices, Of course this is in the states, but the equipment to build 1 engine for the asking prices of lewis engines is about the same, second hand of corse, and i dont want to point them out in particular, just having trouble here? Any help

Are you new to the internet?

It's not polite to go asking questions in peoples build threads. Start a thread if after researching you are still stuck

Rick,,,it's all good mate. But asking me about rebuild pricing scares me. My engine still has all it's Nissan air still inside so I have no idea about recon pricing. My engine has never had it's head or sump off or ever been out of her engine bay and Cheryl is still going strong,,,but now you have cursed me. If my baby blows up at my next race I'm a gonna come lookin for you bitch.

Ben,,,chill tiger. If I had the info Rick is after I would be more than happy to pass it on. I'm not all that precious with what I do with my car. That said it's only a matter of time before I will be doing a rebuild and I will document everything.

Hey Neil,

Ya all ready for Tamworth ?

I just have to fit extinguisher and tyres and I'm good to go, trying the 295s for this one :)

Did I get a trophy from Grafton ?

Mick

.

Yea Mick,,,Cheryl is ready,,,started packing all my shit on the weekend.

You better start going quicker tiger,,,I'm almost always only 2 seconds behind you.

Yes I did pick up your trophy,,,thanked everybody for you included all the gents that helped get your poor striken car back to the bottom and also that you had spat the dummy and gone home. FUUkk I'm a funny bastard.

Cheers

Neil.

Funny enough,,, after packing and getting to Tamworth in pissing down rain, snow and freezing cold we were greeted by sunshine on Saturday and more of the same on Sunday. It was still freezing at -2 in the mornings and a top of 12 in the middle of the day. The Patrol is such a great tow car she handled it all without any problems at all. She revelled in the snowy slushy shit without a problem and we had people following us down the hill through it all.

Cheryl did her usual best,,,apart from taking 3 good cranks to get her started. Poor other bastards with flattened batteries everywhere,,,I helped only who I liked. I did loan a fuel pump to a commodore owner so I'm not all bad and the bastard ended up beating me.

The slicks just don't work in such cold conditions but it's the same for everyone I quess. I did 3 runs on the Saturday on the Kuhmo's just for the fun of it,,,drifting is easy,,,I was linking corners almost everywhere including the straight. Might have to look at some drift events next year.

Well done to Paul in his PRB for handing me my arse again. Oh and if you look at natsoft,,,don't beleive it. I have no idea who posts those results but they are wrong. Alan did not beat me.

Cheers

Neil.

    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
    • Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
