Hey Guys,

Just letting you know there is a hill climb on August 7th at baskerville.

http://www.cmitas.org/documents/CMIBaskervilleHillclimb2011Flyer.pdf

Entry is $150, this includes an epic BBQ lunch. None of this woolies snags on a shitty grill, I'm talking steaks and chicken and gourmet sausages.

Because it's just a hill climb you start at the start finish like and finish at the top of the hill just after the corner. This makes it really easy on your car because you're only gunning it for like 40 seconds then you have to wait a minuite or two before you can get back on it. So you don't have to worry about hurting your pride and joy thumbsup.gif

I know it's a lot more expensive than just the SAU "track days" but it's a competition with trophies give out at the end of the day for fastest cars in their class, best presented and driver of the day.

I hope you guys can all make it! I had such a ball at the last CMI event, they're all such a quality bunch of blokes.

Here are the supp regs and how to enter http://www.cmitas.org/documents/CMIBaskervilleHillclimb2011SuppRegs.pdf

You need to pre-enter before august 6th. No entries on the day.

If you have any questions or if you think I've missed something just post up here, because I'm sure you're not the only one who has a questions.

Ugh, so up for this... I'm going to have to think about this for sure, especially after pulling out of the regularity, I ended up spending the day trudging around in mud and lugging massive frozen pavers about instead. Good choice.

What's the competition generally like? I don't mind having my arse handed to me on a platter with french fried potatoes, but being slightly competitive is always a bit of fun :)

Will read over the regs and actually see what's going on in a sec :P

You'll have old mate Veeto to compete with, also Skit_31. Hopefully also young Alex who we met at regularity, stock R33 except for FMIC and Zorst, getting 66s. thumbsup.gif Top bloke to boot. He also had 16" wheels. Food for thought.

Haha, damn him and his 3 seconds :( my car came with these oversized, heavy, ridiculous 18 inch wheels and I've been thinking of a good reason to buy some others ever since, just can't justify the money outlay when they... Well, they still work.

Those two mods are now high on my to buy list, but unfortunately below food and paying the mortgage. Very interested to see what kind of difference you can feel, the power difference is meant to be really noticeable and a nice change. Is he on here or is yet to become epic forum warriors like the rest of us? May have to get on to him about it :)

Adam Funz on here or Funz has some 17" enkei wheels for sale. IDEAL for track work for the weekend warrior.

  • 2 weeks later...

Okay, seriously looking at this now (bit late, but meh...)

What's the go with the CAMS Level 2S license? Can you grab one on the day, or is this something I should have worked out a couple of weeks ago and sent off?

I think I have everything else ready to go except for a few pieces of plastic so keen to try this out, interested to see how the poor girl goes with two weekends in a row, but completely keen for some more track time :D

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
