Recommended Posts

eeew S14s are pox.... get a 15.

but OMG i was gob smacked when i seen them going... u see how they drive inthose videos and think theyre good but wheen u see it for real its just mind blowing.... i got HEAPS of footage which im going to put ona DVD for myself.

i got a mad clip of when they were coming down the main straight and he span out and then drifted around the corner and then went off the track...

like most people i left after the last D1 demo... wish i stayed to see the crash :) but i had a party to go to.

yeah well done adam,matt and the rest of the crew from full lock as well as HPI and everyone else who organsied that day. Was an AWESOME turn out of people, i wasnt expecting that many to be there being japanese tuned cars etc but its a good indication as to how this sport is taking off in the country. great to see.

any1 know how bad Denzo got hit in pinky bits? Any1 have pix?

What happened with the banner? Was that turd tryin to knock it off? LOL sorry couldnt help larf when i seen about three of yas, quite solid build, ran up and intercept the scrawny kid, he woulda shit himself, and it was a pissa how he turned around and walked away like he just had a crowbar up his @SS. hehehe

was an AMAZING display of skill, cant say much more than that

 

B1 man, didnt see ya there ??? i was wit the sau boys all day :)

oh well, catch up next time ay

i was with the sau boys too....came in with them...sat in the group for a while, went hobo'ing around abit and came back to see james catch that guy..haha. crack up. probably didnt help that i didnt have an sau shirt on...oh wells...will pick mine up at the next meeting...cant wait to see how they turn out. GOJIRA!!

Sorry just another Q, Does any1 have lnks to info on those D1 drivers? Any1 know what cars they drive back home?

Where was that S14 with S15 front from?

Cheers

dunno about the S14 but u should be able to find info from the D1 Grand Prix site www.d1gp.com

was a great day, i was filming when they crashed but was waching it 2day and they hit each other exacly behind the bridge! :-( but i got them spinning out .......after! spewin.

i wona try dounuts with my foot resting on my open door.....like the D1 drivers!!!

(in a controlled enviroment) like i had to say that.

yeah that would have been awesome and im sure as the interest grows for it and its popularity that they will be able to afford to bring them over like in the states?

who knows.

i watched the footage b4 and was still in awe :)

Excellent day to be out. The privateers generally sucked except for a few like the shoddy looking 180, Catherine's VK (you try drifing a boat), the Porker, and a couple other Silvias.

The Aussie entries weren't too bad.

The D1 drivers.....Well, their in a class of their own, NUTZ!!!! I don't understand why you would want to drift a corner at 100km/h+ while waving the car door open... MAAAAAD!!!

Too bad about the kiss b/w the Benny's BMT180 and the HPI CA18 but as long as Fulllock keep their word, the fixing will be free. Dunno bout 140 degree water temps though...Maybe someone should have told the D1 gut to turn the A/C off :)

I've captured all my footage and it's a 4.6gig avi file so I'm gonna put it all on a DVD for myself. The D1 dancer was pretty cool too!! I got him strutting his stuff and stlyin to Ms Christina!!

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
