Haha, for a pup he had a mean growl. Ill let yas know if im attending anyway, if i do ill b early for fuel.

Car sounds like its a go chris, hope you can take it for a test tonight

This should be a good night then, we have quite a fair few people turning up tonight it would appear 7pm south bound bp for you northies then on to meet chris at pizza capers then it's time to roll on over to the westies (Chris can lead in the freshly revived Subi)

Enjoyed the drive, roads were shit. Icecream average, anybody hear the backstreet boys on nova? Really enjoyed listening to that on my shitty stereo /cough.

34 goes like a dream clint.

I overclocked this morning, estimated 200. Looks like they have cut the wires:(

Very nice yours will hammer along nicely when all the work is done,

yeah the 34 is working out really well it has a few minor things to fix up now but the dream is slowly becoming the reality.

Excellent turn out shame you couldn't make it out handful and joe as it was a great little drive, The westies are always hospitable and amusing so it was worth the drive.

Ok so what's the plan for this week?

It will be a northside meet this week the questions are

what night?

what time?

where?

I vote Indian Brothers on either wednesday or thursday at 7 or so.

Thought's / suggestions ?

Oh yeah I took the skyline out to Kingaroy over the weekend drove really well and I got the Blue led dash kit in with no problems (tested all the led's before I reassembled it)

Weds or Thurs is good for me, haven't had indian in a while so im keen for that ^_^

Did you ebay the dash lights? ill have to check it out, im keen to do it to mine to brighten it all up. bit dull inside

either or is good for me too.

Got the go ahead today for some coilovers!!! need to go for a run in your car clint to see how the V1's are. but from what ive read so far they are a good bit of kit, esp for the price.

Hoping to have it all sorted for happy laps in 2 weeks time!!

Ive looked around, cant find a eecent answer to 2 qs.

400$ intercooler, anything wrong with these types? 700mm core.

And a normal boost tee, is it worth saving for electronic? If i did it this way i could spend 500 and get b

sounds like the night was good, sorry i didn't make it but i was around the 4500 K's mark away at the time getting tanked, if there is a little meet up this weekend i might be able to come along and meet up with a few people, one of those rare got nothing planned weekends

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
