The Wasteland 2013 Edition

[JETURBO]

Hey iam sure someone knows this bloke, he came out on one of our turbo cruises two weekends ago and top lad

Just wondering if hes on here cause i got a few more questions i really want to annoy him with

Thing goes bloody well fully built 360 at the wheels from memory and looks stock as under the carbon lid

Still not quick enough tho

[JETURBO]

Two of my fave cars head to head

!

ummmm yeh boss thankx

[DC_GTST]

You mean this guy ->

If he put it onto E85 would be interesting to see what time he'd get down the qtr, but it's a well set-up for track/grip

[Nightcrawler]

^^^ yeah a Falcodore with a decent turbo may be quicker in a straight line, but let's see the same Falcodore do THAT!

Fairly sure he is running E85 bud

[DC_GTST]

Cheers Heslo... in that case a responsive 360kw lol

[heslo]

No worries

[Carbon 34]

No worries

That doesn't look very fast , quick but not silly fast

Shame the road is shit like all the sa roads

Then ends in dirt wtf

Power to weight ratio is critical - 34 is heavy and cant put down power on bumps well either

But the sound rattled my windows on pc speakers haha

That road is one of the most exciting ive ever driven Troy, It might be a bit rough but by hell its good fun. Yes its a bit shit with the dirt at the end, but they've been trying for a while to get it extended (with 20k + quotes by council to fix it)

Wouldnt say its shit like all the other SA roads, driven quite a few and thats pretty good in comparison (theres a LOT of Adelaide roads i wouldnt want to drive at those speeds if they were part of a closed event)

Any fanging legally is fun matty lol

And gtr fanging better

Yeah wouldnt mind checking it out in person maybe its just the video ?

be mad in a atom v8 haha

Matty i grew up down the road from pikes peak !! So its not a far comparison , thats mental !!

Sa roads in general narrow, uneven , potholes, whoopty doos , access covers right where your wheel hits , compared to eastern states ?

Classic south rd coming into aldinga is shocking !! Dangerous

Best road I know of is the turn off at the Delemere corner store.....

Twisty goodness on top of a range. Turn right at end to head into Victor.

Unless youre on toll roads, Adelaides roads are still good. Driven many a road in the back blocks of the western suburbs of Sydney, and they make our roads look like bloody highways (and THAT is saying something hahaha)

I will agree, that bit of road into Dingy isnt the best, id have a guess its a soil related problem (as theres a band of the Victor road in about the same alignment thats bad, Coach Road is not much better, as are those sections of South, Lonsdale Road and Majors Road back up Sheidow / Ohalloran Hill way (and if i scrape the back of my memory banks from Year 12 Geography from 2000, i think there are a few bands of Reactive Clay throughout the South)

[JETURBO]

yeh definately no falcon will go through mt alma unless its heavely modified, but thats where GTR's hold there own

360 awkw on willall's mainline and e85 already in it, love the on board computer hey so much detail !!

the 34 GTR is still a fat bitch in retrospect but thats what makes it an impressive vehicle ( this one )

and god 275's all round on work wheels is pure porn, bloody hell if i could get 275's on the front of the taxi i could steer in that quick aswell hahahahah , maybe still not

[Nightcrawler]

^^ yeah true that ....

Also, the speed that Keir does/did in the Willall R35GTR around there is more amazing - as that thing is a BOAT - yet it gets the power down so effortlessly and amazingly. Hopefully WR1000 will do even better and win the event this year!

Anyone on here know where i can get my cam covers painted in SA?

Got a bad leak that needs fixing, got everything to go and getting them painted properly will top the job off nicely.

Last "rocket cover" thread had nothing but trolling.

I had the Cam Covers on my RB25 powder coated. If you want them painted, any crash repairer/paint shop should be able to do them for you, just depends if they want to do it.

[pistol-pete]

As Abe said powder coating is the way to go, wont scratch or chip anywhere near as easily. But if you really wanna paint them I'd just do em yourself

[gilly-R33]

prob gonna sound pretty stupid, but here it goes anyway..how hard is it to change gearbox fluid? searched through forums and i couldnt find anything any help will be appreciated

[scandyflick]

Easy. Jack up car, undo plug on the bottom of the gearbox, drain, replace plug, and top up either through the plug on the side of the box (hand pump is very helpful in this instance) or through the shifter hole (with the shifter removed).

If filling through the plug on the side, stop filling when the fluid starts coming out (obvious).

If filling through the shifter hole, just add the prescribed amount of fluid (I can't tell you how much).
