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?

Tomj,

OK, I can see what you are trying say, happy with that. I just like to see the loyalty to whatever workshop you belong too shown and keep. Having one workshop claim work for another workshop is wrong. My 2 cents worth. To all those workshops that did show up BZ and WELL Done. Their suppor for this type of event is always appreciated. Again thanks to Paul for all the work to get SUAWA there. I had a ball. Now I want more :headspin:

I would of loved to be there flying the antilag.com flag and SST(if steve would of allowed it). I find the excuse of road tyres to be somewhat moot as far as I recall GOTBOOST was running on Nitto's and still did amazing times with a fantastic hook up..

Quote of the year

All it takes is a bit of patience, persistance and maybe some concentration on other parts of the car then power though I guess the easy way is to cry wolf and go straight to slicks

It took me 3 months of constant racing and playing with the set up of the car to even break into the 1.9's 60ft's other then that it was only my power making me fast as I was averaging 2.0-2.2 60fts and very low 12's to high 11's ET's as soon a I done a 1.97 60ft I ran 11.7 so my advice is keep at it and try different things and soon it will come together

Brett

and i still might get another meet out them. ITS ALL GOOD  

even been questioned on my timeslip because it has AWD6 class  lol

awesome times GOTBOOST, keep flying the 32GTst flag mate!!

what size Nittos are you running?

Chris

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.

Cheers

Sean

C'mon dude I was there putting my car where the dyno sheets say it should be. I was a tad pissed off with the AAH, but shit like that happens.

Jash

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.

You sure there Xspeed cars?

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
