as I said in the other thread, hillclimbs are different. They've always been about the F.Libre open wheelers and its great seeing a bunch of them going head to head on a level playing field.

how many people got 2nd outright??? "K got second outright... to give me 2nd outright for the weekend..."

2nd outright is different from 2nd in class. hth

Thats great news Stu,,,2012 for me will be back to Hillclimbs in the Radical and some in the Skyline.

Nice vid by the way tiger.,,,good to see that mega buck taxi of yours behaving herself.

Cheers

Bout time for you to get back to the track - and my mega buck taxi was on its last outing for us as a couple to prove itself - lol (I thought the skyline was a pain in the credit card) Don't get a used taxi!!

Our plan - I will be running the taxi in Sports Sedan and you and Karen can share the skyline battle and hopefully with a few others from SAU?

PS SAU Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

Cheers :cheers:

What areas of the Falcon chew the money? Curious, as I woudl have thought they would be reasonably economical to run given their turn of speed

Hi Roy

3000km engine service must replace roller lifters, valve springs and retainers - basic head service costs around $4,500 - $5K

At the same time, set of brake rotors and pads - $4,500

Gearbox service and re-race diff also at 3000km's - $1500

6000km service is all of above plus set of pistons, rod bolts, stud kits, gaskets etc - $5k

When required AP carbon clutch - $11K, dry sump pump, crack testing -spindles etc, new wheel nuts every twelve months, along with in tank lift pumps. Every two years recharge fire bomb, replace all wheel bearings.

Thats the basics anyway Roy

Cheers

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
