yeah I land on the friday, so i'm out.

if we had stuck with the cup day date I would have been over this like a fat kid over a twinkie

but yeah I'm out till 14.

will be at nats tho, Std RWD reping!

well I recon after spending some time it would pass scruit, and I could run,...but landing from germany 20ish hours b4..yeah maybe not.

mgith come up and watch tho, esp if i can get the wife to drive!

wish there wasn't

doing deca on the 9th tho and sau nationals...

car is still straight chassis wise so it just cosmetic issues, had a wedding to take care of first, now...car time

Wont make this one :( oh well, hopefully ill be competing heavily in 2WD modified next year :P

Also, lol @ Richo in R33 GTR. probably makes the WRX and evo guys feel better about themselves

define modifications:

Woh, 42.

That is the answer to the ultimate question of "life the universe and everything" so I used to think it was a LUCKY number but I blew an engine at Sandown when running that number so now I avoid it like the plague.

Superstition eh, a major component of motorsport, who would have thought.

1 now there is a good number :-D

    • 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>
