9th out of 86 cars

brakes epic

handcock rubber heaps better than r888's

Great work Pete! Awesome result, especially considering your success ballast (you can successfully find beer and pizza better than most).

Seriously though, it's an awesome effort in a home built car done on a shoestring budget. Tight Wad Racing (TWR) FTMFW!

Nulon Nats done and dusted
turns out my love for 4wheel smoke shows from the start line has taken it toll on the little os twin plate
Buladelah is a epic fun little track
even better when run one is also the recce run
run two and the clutch gave up was flaring through all gears
Duncan got it running and i babied it up the hill one more time
then game over. had to start it in gear to get it on the trailer
still managed 10th outright on a slipping clutch run
this may be the one that got away as the car with a working clutch would have been in the top 3 sleasy as
anyway here is the vid... listen to that f**ker slip in 3rd and 4th



there were some epic crashes
one evo rolled 3 times that f**ker was lucky and f6 tanked a embankment so hard it kinked the roof
cage time for me

next weekend off to ec see if i can run a low 40
os tripple will be in tomorrow so that should allow me to break things other than the clutch

just some other pics

and who says 310-350rwkw + front and rear LSD's + uphill hill climb launches+ soft 295 semis are good for a twin plate

i would say its done about 100 launches in its 5k of driving and lots of clutch kicking mid corner when off boost

was not blue when i stuck it in

lol

i think i might lay of the clutch kicks mid corner to save a few dollars lol

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
