It was good to catch up with some familiar faces and some new ones from the SAU crew. 'Build it and they will come'... and boy did the crowd turn up, cars parked along the road for klms in each direction.

It felt just like old times out there today, hey MattyR, MattyT, and Nightcrawler? I can't wait till the return to full 1/4 racing!

I saw Zappia run 4.29 @ 178MPH just before I left at 730pm.

One word; Amazing.

I was there all day, saw the Willall guys, DSTROY and Blue32. Where was everyone else lol.

Work, lol. I found out when I got home that it was going till late, otherwise I would have maybe headed out there to have a gander.

We saw you wandering around in the distance with 2 other blokes at one point when we were on the concrete seats on the Southern side, but since we couldn't see much we wandered over and stood on the inside wall of the track for the rest of the day.

I just remembered I also spotted Heslo and Japstar too. I can't wait for the next one, it was sooooo good. I really enjoyed the motorbike stunts too. Parking was chaos, I got a park right near the ticket booth as I got there early in the day, but leaving wasn't so easy, I was boxed in by 5 cars :/

I can deal with that though, we needed the people!

The AdelaideNow article said more than 10,000, but I've heard it was 3 times that. By 6pm 26,000 tickets had been sold at the gates, with people still coming. That's info from FB. I'm inclined to believe it.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
