Very enjoyable, ran anticlockwise figure 8 (as per Australian Championship held the other week), with so few entries, plenty of oportunity to work on improving times doing different things.

Only bummer, they closed up shop a bit early (around 4:30) and forgot a hat, so even with factor 30, got a bit of sun burn!

Awesome day. I ended up with a 67.1 but i had to leave early as hayfever knocked the stuffing outta me, just woke up after 16hrs of sleep :closedeyes:

Pity i probably missed anoher 2-3 runs. Would have been good to knock even more time off. Each run nearly killed about .8 of a second so definitely good room to improve. Running the track reverse Fig 8 was VERY interesting, quite different to the other way.

I hear Madden got a 66.x

Must have been the speed-hat LOL :merli:

RACE SOLUTIONS how much did they get paid to do what? good day beside nothing running on time, what is the point in having supp regs with a time line that was no where near it. All so where was the practice session not the stupid bloddy three lap sighting crock of shit. Also the last minute change of what track was going to be run.

Wasn't happy with the change of track layout, really wanted to see If I could improve on my times from earlier in the year.

Other than my car being slow, I enjoyed the day

I didn't read the Supp Regs haha, but ye would have preferred the "usual" way to gauge the mods I've done in the car in terms of time etc. The Reverse Fig 8 was still fun overall though.

Agree on the Race Solutions point. Two events I've been to recently where there has been a lot of time wasted on their behalf whilst they just sit in the 4WDs, especially when people come off. There is 1-2mins before anything happens... If i had some off and was in trouble, 1min is a long time. So certainly room for improvement there & hopefully someone is giving them feedback to improve what they are delivering.

Still had fun overall though which is what matters :thumbsup:

Wish i could've stayed till the end but if gates did indeed close early (Someone said they did?) then probably wouldn't have missed as much as i thought.

Sunburn was sure the word of the day.

The track layout is far more enjoyable than the normal layout. Though I can see that for gauging difference in skill and car from the previous event is a pita.

I've got some great video, the pictures Katie has taken are awesome.

Is that Her Majesty the Queen driving JP's Green S14 there?

:whistling: Yes I had a laugh when I saw that. Timing Katie. Least I didn't get called a queen!

How'd PI go Sunday, spotted the 1:51s, wouldn't have minded being there myself, instead of mowing the lawn at 5kph.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
