BOOSTD: wrxhoon's name is jerry ;) and his best times were 12.07(pretty sure) but i know he ran 12.1.. apparently his last run was shit (after i left) so u must have seen that :D

terminal speed was 120mph on his best run, but with a crappy 2.0something 60 foot time, so could be a lot faster!

That m coupe was crazy! sounded good...and backed it up :)

yea you are right arup best time was 12.069 @120.24 mph and 2.017 60 ft

that was the run i had with bill ( butthead ) he ran [email protected] mph and 1.866 60 ft .

bill ran 12.1 on his last run .

on my last run i got a good start 1.873 60 ft but then hit the cutout anded up running 12.333 @115.89 mph

on an earlier run i did 12.157 @119.87 mph and 2.089 60 ft ( bogged down on that run not enough rpm and dropped the clutch to quick .

it was much easier to take off with the smaller turbos .

it must have been very slippery today though , mick could only get 2.0 6o ft ,

last time we went he got 3 runs 1.8.. , 1.8.. and 1.7...

ah well i'm goping to have another go at 11 pass sometime in the near future ( went so close today i'm sure i'll get it )

next time u will hopefully get the 11 sec pass, it is a definite possibility...coming down to the launch and how slippery it is i guess!! it was great to watch, cant wait to have a run myself (when i actually get another car!)

Im not even going to bother saying what i got other than pissed off with numerous things. Good thing u didnt come up jase was a waste of time. Organisation was shit and i arived at 3:30 and only got 2 runs after 2.5 hours in the scrutineering line. what a ****ing joke!!!!!!!

One good thing was that I had a few words with the events co ordinator and also with Jim Reid himself and let them in on a few problems going on in the night that with some work could improve things for everyone in the future. Heres hoping it does!!!!

I guess ill just have to wait till the next street meet and see if anything changes.

Cheers

Scott.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
