bloody hell ive never been to an event with this much mechanical damage!

You haven't been around long enough.. Just wait until the cars start getting written off.. :)

Damn, who was the jinx?

there wasn't this much damage last time.

sorry to hear about everyones problems.

thanks for all the kind words.

please pm.regarding the 33 engine.

I think it was me being te jinx..:/

Mine was useless, BOV kept blowing off the pipe every run so NO power :/ then the coilovers shit themselves, to make it a trio the E85 I put in it was off and the car didn't make it home.....

Big thumbs up to Chookie and Ruxis for cruising at 40km/h with me for a few hours and a HUGE thumbs up to the HWP for cruising with me the last 1km before it died! :thumbsup:

PS - SAU events must be some of the best organized events of their kind, awesome to meet some great people... Will get stuck into repairs and not be a clown next time out ;)

That sucks man

Good to hear members looking out for each other and awesome that HWP looked out for you too :)

Major bummer bout the car Luke :( Hope it doesn't turn out to be completely fatal mate :)

we can rebuild it, make it stronger, faster, we have the technology!!

worse case, new engine.

This thread needs skid vids.

+11ty

PLEASE, SOMEONE, HAVE A VIDEO OF MY 2ND/LAST RUN!

then it will have been 1/2 worth it.

written off?

havnt seen that....

and you werent there when i broke my car.

What could be more fatal than a engine out rebuild?

Well everything inside his motor could be as good scrap! Its a built motor so maybe some of his good stuff can be salvaged and the man doesn't have to fork out more $$$

Not at sau events but I've been to plent of days that have.

But I told you a week before it was a bad idea.. Lol

Guys it was great fun timing you bunch today, I had a ball. Completely stuffed now, but satisfied.

Things I learnt. If you want to rip skids all day, put in some surprisingly quick times, and not have a bit of fuss, buy a 30 year old corolla!

Luke sorry to hear about your motor. I think I remember you being pretty enthusiastic on the first run....there was even a comment about bearings.... :(

Was organised fantastically, and credit should go to Eric, Steve, Dave, and lots of other officials for organising a safe, fun, and relaxed day.

Funniest thing I saw was the r34 NA four door, that swallowed a cone. I dunno where it went, when I looked in there susp there was only 1/3 of the cone left! It ate it I think

agreed more skid vids, i missed mats first run so devo'd so much smoke it was crazy

i got skid pics to come in a few moments

Only run of the day where the car worked :( felt like such a dumb ass taking out that cone, got battlescars at least :P epic noob!!

AWESOME day. Big thanks to all that helped out and make it run so smooth.

I got a few good videos of assorted cars, will put them up on you tube in the coming days and post the links here.

So tired now, time for sleeps.

Great to see everyone and also met a stack of new people.

I shall dream of skids tonight....... vrooom vrooom ! HAHAH

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
