So, you might be able to snare a spare 'access all areas' pass for a beloved SAU Admin? :ninja::D :D :D

I take it from your sig that the RB27 makes significantly more power now, than the 298rwkw figure from 2007 - given you have run an 11.24 pass. VERY impressive time indeed!!!!! Is that 2wd or 4wd?

HAHA, i wish i could get spare passes, i couldnt even get one for my wife when she went to the Gold Coast round last year with me.

Thanks for the comments about my car, but it still only makes just under the 300rwkw to run the 11, its all about the tyres.

Cheers

Luke

Wow that is an amazing time for that power level - with a 1.61 60' you must really hook it up! I know what you mean it is all about tyres .... back in 2003 I did a 12.74 110mph in my S15 and it only made 200rwkw - but it would do consistent 1.6-1.8 sec 60' times with decent street tyres - and it was my work car that I drove there and drove home at full weight.

That is one of the vids from the day,

Im the first car on there, with R33 with black bonnet and NUTR33 on the plates.

Hey Whiplash, what do you do with VodkaO, on one of the teams or an organiser?

i will be in a fadded orange Chanel7 shirt that looks 2 sizes to small for me working on the cameras, come and say hi if you like.

Cheers

Luke

Looking forward to being trackside agai this year, but probably only Thursday and Friday. (In the usual spot if you want to drop past)

So you'll miss the fashion shows behind your seats on Saturday and Sunday :closedeyes: 1st no Schutzenfest and now bailing on bikini parade.... you changed man :action-smiley-069:

Wow long time no hear Guy :) - if you are after a ticket for either Saturday or Sunday on Pit Entry Gold, I am selling some tickets at $85 per day. Or I still have a 4 day pass for $185.

Good to catch up with you today Nick.

They have destroyed our usual shade tent, but the fashion parade catwalk is still there, and the XXXX girls trailer was backed up for a show today.

Back again tomorrow.

Hopefully I get to spend most of the day in the corporate section (again) enjoying the free food and drinks.

yeah mate,

sorry couldn't hang around longer, with all practice and qualifying today it was a bit mad.

just got home after 14 hours at the track :huh:

oh and if your down near the GT paddock come and try our simulators, set up with the GT cars and the adelaide track :pirate:

1 hour race was great at night,

From the press release:

GTR I found sitting in front of the GT paddock

Our poor Lambo suffered a lower control arm failure during the race.

Andrew and I apparently stared on the Super Screen today :whistling:

Was chillin with my "old mate" Murray Walker on the podium today, watching the GT race, got a few photo's with him, whilst holding a bottle of Vodka O :thumbsup:

Vodka O porsche needs a heart transplant, don't think its normal for the oil to be 30% metal shavings :-(

I tried to find you this morning to no avail :( did pass murray in his golf cart though on the walk down to the GT pit area

Apparently andrew and pete tried to find me, but i musta been off escorting the guys in "yowie" suits around

amazing how far a green uniform gets you in the pit area :laugh:

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
