I'm actually off this Wednesday; I might join you!

I've been keen to get back out there, as I only had a dump pipe on mine; nothing else. Hence my 14.9.

It would be interesting to see what difference my mild mods so far have made; it's certainly a different car on the road.

How much is it and what time do they start?

I think gates open around 4:30pm and cost is around $50. You also need a compliant helmet; there is a list.

I just received this on FB from the Sydney Dragway feed;

Hi all, unfortunately we have to cancel tonight's Hi-Tec Oils Race 4 Real ... there is little chance of the weather clearing this afternoon. Please take care on the roads and be safe.

So it looks like we're out of luck for this week.

:angry:

Thanks for the info dale, look forward to catching up next time at the creek, I'm guessing in 2 weeks as next we'd is a public holiday.

Yep, I'll be on for that; working next Wed, so 2 weeks away works well with my roster.

Going to have to push my LPG fed XR8 owning mate to come out too.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm out this week unfortunately; missus is doing stocktake on Wednesday night.

I'm sure my young bloke would like to come with me; but I don't think they'd be too happy about me doing runs with a 3 year old asleep in the back... :whistling:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
