Yeah CAMS making the Tailem Bend drags day in August being 1/8th mile is gayer than aids imho. Why even bother?

CAMS are not sanctioning the event. ANDRA are. and due to safety and insurance reasons is why it has been dropped down to a 1/8th mile.

i think personally all you whinging little princesses need to harden up and support what we have at the moment! dont knock back what you havent tried!

We have Doorslammers and Darren Morgan's Top Fuel Drag Car running 1/8th mile! The Doorslammers even have their own rounds of competitive 1/8th mile meetings! the Boys love it!

BUT HEY

what would i know?

Hey everyone I just wanted to send out a little message in regards to a funeral I attended yesterday. An old best friend of mine who developed serious alcohol/violence issues passed away last week. The last time I spoke to him was when I told him to never speak to me again (because of his violent/anti-social behavior) He was buried at 22 years of age. To my bewilderment, in the 18 months I hadn't spoken to him he developed a drug habit some time after I ended our friendship and subsequently died of an overdose. This is not intended to be a sob story, just an expression that anyone suffering from addiction/s or concerned about an individual, please seek help and support. This also applies those with to mental sickness and in all areas there is more than enough resources to help our loved ones. Pick up a phone, do whatever you can! Yesterday was one of the saddest days of my life. Mainly because by the time I was aware of mason's problem it was too late. Sorry for the gloom and doom but one of us could save a life one day. Always a good thing :)

I am not joking at all. Im even happy just to talk to anyone if they need someone. Other than that enjoy life people! Thanks

Hardest part for any depression in men is having the balls to actually go and talk to someone. Most guys need to know it's not weak to talk to someone about your feelings, especially when it is depression. Usually it's their partners that cop the brunt of their anger.

the reason its 1/8th mile is the rest is potholes and under contruction 25km zone ...lol

I can say this state needs a few tracks, closer to cbd ???, drag, drift, road racing, etc. the economy would benefit more then a footy staduim. autoracing is the largest sport in the world !!! not footy

I felt ashamed to see the qld and perth magazines in the news stand showing hundreds of pages of cruise scene, car racing etc. S'ADALAIDE is boring as bat shite in comparision

1/8th mile is sooooo not worth it.

If I lived at Tailem Bend (thinking of it, houses for sale for 100k) or Murray bridge then yeh Id have a go, but seriously you cant even get into the top end of the engines rev range in 200m in a decent gear (2nd gear limiter smashing does nothing for me).

Why the hell cant Adelaide have a motorsport complex? The laws that be want to get hoon driving off the streets, but where the F* can you go?

Would love to have a complex where you can go out friday nights for 1/4mile 400m drag sessions, and saturday night track sessions.

If the Govt can fund a billion dollar hospital, half billion dollar Adelaide Oval upgrade (the Oval is perfect as-is IMHO), etc. then why the hell not a motorsport complex?

Adelaide manufactures Holden (and used to manufcature Mitsubishi) so I feel its kinda ingrained into our culture here to enjoy motor vehicle "sports"......... but its all too hard for the Govt to support a complex - even tho we stage a V8 race that disrupts the city (traffic & residents) each and every year.

*bangs head against (tyre) wall.

Woohoo my 8pot brembos bolt upto the 6pot dog bones I've already got. Score! Now just to get rear dogbones made and rear alloy hats and that will be brakes sorted.

awesome Luke, must be coming along nicely.

What did you decide for the rears?

Im using Wilwood 4-pots up front with 324mm discs, and Stagea rear setup on the R32 (stagea rear is smaller than R32).

Last trackday was knocking off 2secs faster per lap with semi-slick Pzero tyres (treadwear rating of 80) and 324mm discs up front.... I dont feel that a stripped skyline will require large rear brakes, but awaiting to trial that out myself next SAU:SA track day - thats right, I dibs a spot!!!! (last 2 trackdays only got in 2 - 3 sessions before a) overheated engine, and b) lost ringlands)

is that in dollars Andrew?

Ive been waiting to win the lottery for some time now, is today my lucky day??

I'm sorry but the punishment DOES fit the crime.

We are all the one paying for the D*CKS on the road through the CTP scheme, accident involving speed / racing are higher than ever. The more people that are injured and killed the more YOU and everyone else on here will have to pay for registration on your cars.

I don't care if you agree or disagree, but I have to deal with the people who are injured on a daily basis. So I'm all for making an example and hopefully people will think twice about doing the same and causing an injury or death.

Sorry this isn't correct. Deaths involving street racing would represent <2% of the accidents, and although they are avoidable they in no way deserve the media attention or the money spent by the government that it does when deaths involving inattentive driving would represent 30+% and i have never seen any money spent on combating this issue.

It's just a vote grabber and that is it.

If you start making the penalty not fit the crime that is when you get people running which increases the risk to the general public hugely. What other expiatable offence has a $50,000 fine (in the case of the R34 owner).

Have a read of the NS thread. Video posted of a Ferrari going through the tunnels faster than those Skylines would have been. Got to feel for them though, wonder how the bloke who uploaded it would feel if those two GT-Rs get taken. Easily $100k into those two for sure.

Actually.. might stalk the auctions and pick up a good deal..

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
