My car is not an auto. My best time is 14.8 on Sat I was trying for a consistant 15.1.

What do you think about a 2nd gear start I've thought about it . might give it a try this Sat.

I could have cut my throat when I broke out!!!!! I was up against a Wrexxy who dialed in 14.6 and I thought I had a good chance of beating him

182km/h is AWESOME!! You should have enough juice to run an 11 sec pass, and 1.9 60' is excellent, did you run slicks? What were your 660' times and mph?

Hey Squizz, can you let us know about Benaraby. A few of us were talking about going up there, if there's an import meet I would be keen to run the Zed. Is it full 1/4 mile?

TTZ sorry haven't got my time slip (as mentioned it was stolen with some of my other gear only have the ones from earlier in the day but my friend has his and I ran against him will see if he still has it....we weren't too impressed with the times so he probably disposed of it :) . I was running street tyres but got a awesome launch sorted.

Nismo_Boy.. .were you there?

I didn't see the R13. Not that I knew what I was looking for. I also didn't see cam till he ran his first run at night. I think we missed a lot of things :)... But we seemed to be in the stands most of the day. Can you post some pics Nismo_Boy?

hehehe......benaraby.

Imagine Willowbank...

Now remove the buildings and infrastructure. Place a drag strip (1/4 mile) in some bush not far from Gladstone, Qld.

Basicly a piece of bitumen, in the bush with timing equipment. What more do you need?

It is fairly well supported by the Gladstone, Rockhampton & Bundaberg people though. Is fairly surprising the numbers they get, and the Import meet will be well supported by the Gladstone guys, and Squizz and the Kaos crew.

but don't expect too much. :)

Took the words right out of my mouth...

Guest sir calais

Heres some more info on benaraby raceway http://www.benarabyraceway.com/

..... you've got to admit Benaraby has improved from how it was this time two years ago. Least now theres grass on the mound - actually least now theres a mound. All they need now is a decent road to get in there.

Dam I may have to put the TEIN's back in incase I need to turn hard at high speed.....OH crap :eek: I sould them, what am I going to do????? Does sound interesting though......bit like one of those witches-hat slaylem style of events I spose

ok ok ok...lets just say it is still a very good regional track. At least it is full 1/4 mile, better than some. besides the people in Ipswich, how many of us can say they have a decent, legal place to have fun on?

Hey Boosmeister, you thinking of going up for it? Benaraby drags that is.

I will be in Airlie Beach from 18th Oct for a week so if it is around that time I may take a side trip....only problem is it is a long way from home and I'd hate to wreck my holiday if I broke something......especially when the car may be getting sold:eek:

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
