Nige won't be running but there is a 50/50 chance of my car heading out.

We won't know until Friday arvo as I'm waiting for some new head bolts and studs to arrive.

I will keep you informed. Check the forums Sat night or Sunday morning as weather also plays a big factor in this. Don't wanna head up for racing be stuck in the carpark doing FA.

Yeah, couldnt reply last night from home.

Stupid dial-up.

Watch the forums as Dave said.

either he will post it, or i will as i'll be in touch with him (or gez/nige) on friday to see.

I know everyone was keen to see the leewah GTR in action :D

As Ash has said (coz I told him :() I will be running on the weekend if the weather holds out and isn't gonna rain at all on Sunday.

Even a slightly wet track in the morning won't dry fully till the afternoon and I don't travel to Heathcote to sit around and watch rain dry.

Currently according to the BOM, today and Sat were looking like scattered showers and then fining up. If it doesn't fine up by late Sat arvo, we prob won't go.

I will check BOM again tomorrow afternoon and check the radar and then give a post in the evening around 8ish.

SLYSX, yes I am still running standard GTR shafts :( They may break, they may hold. I'm a strong believer in that it is as strong as the driver. If you're gentle on them, they should be fine.

Dumping a clutch at 8000rpm with as much power as my car will put out isn't a good idea, standard driveline or otherwise.

As for passenger runs, if we get a time we're satisfied with, there maybe some space for a couple passenger runs but you gotta take a number coz there are plenty of people queuing up before you mate. Sorry. People have been asking me for a ride since the last time we were out and I have promised some people rides as long as the target time is achieved.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
