Never seen Heathcote that busy before. We left early as 2 cars had already dropped oil and the line for runs was right back to near the speedway area.

Otherwise it was a good day, nice to meet you Brent!

Last time i went to heathcote I did like 12 runs how many were people getting this time? :S

I found by the end of the day you could finish and just queue back up within 1 minute your back on again only have to wait for like 1 car to go

That was soo busy out there today. felt like 30 minute cues.

My best for the day was 13.24 at 112mph. Bit disapointed but couldn't get off the line. Once I got into 3rd the new turbo felt spot on. 60 foot time was 2.25. (on MT's)

Was a good day though.

Not sure on the number of runs people got as we left early- Thats usually what it has been like when we have been there, but this time Luke ran 3 times between about 11 and 12 and had a half hourish break in between his second and third run, once the second car dropped oil was when the line backed right back as it was a fair spill that they had to clean up, it was PACKED! I'd guess at least 75 entrants racing for the day maybe? I didnt actually count but there were cars everywhere, seemed to be people still arriving at 12:30ish when we decided to load up and leave... A few hotted up commodores, not many imports though. There were alot of serious dragsters there too from what I could see.

Luke(Nutr33) said he has been going for years and never seen that many cars entered before. We have never been to Calder on Fridays so cant compare to that...

I've been looking at their website and no idea when they last ran a Test day so maybe that is why it was so busy, also there are no future dates listed

Sorry we didnt get to meet you Luke, we walked past the car but you didnt appear to be around and then of course we left early!

Nice to meet you Anna and you too Luke :) I look forward to seeing u guys at deca next weekend!

It was a very busy day I got 5 runs in total and left at 3:30.

After you all left I finally got into the 12's with a 12.9 :) was pretty happy considering the tyres I had lol

My bad, I was hoping to meet a few people. Last minute decision, my wife decided she wanted to come see what the fuss is about. (after telling me for the last month that she is not in the slightest interested). So I spent most of the day in the spectators seats keeping her ammused.

In all the shock of having Fiona there I even competely forgot about changing my tyre pressures or any other setup changes for the entire day. :spank:

I only ended up doing 3 runs. 1 on the stock 16's and 2 passes on the MT's. Was very disapointed when they wouldn't let us do a passenger run. (I guess it was to do with the cue times??).

Hey Brent, a 12.9 is a good time on street tyres, well done.

Sorry we didnt hang around longer to give you a ride in my car, but sounds like they wernt letting passenger rides anyway.

I have never seen so many cars at heathcote before and with the oil spills in the morning i didnt think it was going to be a good day.

Cheers

wait, l_uk3y is a different luke to who I met isnt it? lol

Yup, threw me too.& I'm married to one of them LOL

Luke- no passenger runs is a bugger, guessing it was Q times too because I think they run passenger passes single runs only, not against someone else.

Haha Who would have thought. Fiona (my wife) with NOOOO interest in cars, after coming today to watch (first race event ever) has just asked me to buy her a helmet so she can passenger next time. That could be the strangest thing i've ever heard considering the day she got her licence (about 15 years ago) was the last time she ever drove.

Hey Luke

Thanks man! yeah i'm pretty happy with it considering my first time at the strip and the tyres used but next time I will get some slicks and put them on up there lol.

All good man :) would have been awesome fun getting a ride in your car it looked quick as hell, maybe next time if your up for it :P And if they let passengers go in cars.

After you left there was like another 2 stopages, including one that lasted for over 30 mins whilst they cleaned the strip (oil went the oil way down the strip)..

I guess I will see you at Deca mate.

Cheers,

Brent

I didn't end up making it, was missing 2 wheel nuts off front right wheel.

No socket, and no spare nuts... :(

The 2x Euro cars were 12.6-12.7 @ 113mph or there abouts.

Blown LS1 ran 10.75 :)

MPH was stuffed in the right lane apparently. Always something wrong with Heathcote & Timing, rather annoying.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
