I think it is commendable that C-RED. Hyperdrive, SST and Ovaboost represented some of the import performance scene.

Where was Speedworks, Xspeed, ETC? Im a little unimpressed with the lack off support.

The speedworks silvia is being leased for this years race season, so taking it down to the drags and running the risk of breaking something a week before a race meet isn't an option..

Always next time..

Glad to see if appears everyone had fun.

IMACUL8, It was such as rush to just get the car back on the road, and organise Drag Combat that I didn't have time to buy/organise drag slicks, but not to fear, will have a set very soon, then I think the times will fall a bit;)

surely you have more then one worksop car, or at least two customer cars willing to come down to the event? Ken didnt put in a trader display yet was down all day having a friendly chat to all, me included.

Not being rude, but ppl bitch so much when events like this fail, yet its their own lack of support which makes them fail.

Dude,

If you knew anything about the cars that supposed to be Ovaboost then you wouldnt have make the comment above. Ask who did Nathan's car and the R34 GTR. I think it'll open your eyes. They are Xspeed cars. I was also there for Xspeed workshop.

The events in perth are always under populated by quick workshop cars, i wonder why they build workshop cars, if they dont display them at one of the only performance events. Geeze even dyno comps get better turn outs. Thank god for the backyarder i recon.

Lots of Perth Workshops build cars with theoretical power outputs that if they make a run down the strip, or appear on a Shootout equipped dyno will be found to be false. Lots of people accused GTAAH of that after Cabin last year, but we backed it up this year.

Dude, As if I dont know where these cars came from , or thier history's. I know Nathan well enough to know. Its not the point. I dont care who built them. Ovaboost put in a effort to have several cars there as a organised display, and went out and raced hard. Asides from alot of "secret sports" stickers on various cars, I didnt see a real Xspeed precense. Was Hanson there? Ken didnt have a display, yet came and spent the day talking and socialising. Jash put in 4 cars, SST in the form of Steve and Ant where there all day talking and racing - hell Ant broke his box, went home , fitted another, then returned. Thats committment to the scene. And in the end of the day - no scene, no business for anyone, right?

So they/you dont have enough confidence in your own work, that if you take it down the strip or on the dyno it wont succeed? Why even try then? I dont get the reason to create these cars then, cept for a shiney photo and blurb in a magazine. That said though, well done on the times on the weekend, nice tyres.

Immacul8 funny you said that about go the rotor, thats what ill be doing.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
