Any members on here go to roll racing? I went to the last one as a spectator and went to this one last night as a support vehicle, but ended up entering and having a few runs...

And I have to say, had a ball, great fun and not too hard on the cars, I was rolling up to 50km/h in second gear then planting it at the tree, shifting at 7-7500rpm, car did very well, I was hitting 200-220km/h by the finish line.

Ive entered once before over here in Perth, The night was great and I enjoyed beating on the new setup but with traction issues and an old H pattern I was far from competitive, Its ashame it would seem the track over here at barbagallo is abit shorter 50-100m roughly then the eastern states.. doesnt give me enough time to catch back up after spinning 1st and 2nd. Good fun taking the misso and some mates for a blast though.. once my roster lines up again ill be keen again for sure...

Yeah I might come out this Friday, good fun watching the cars, don't think I'll enter though, I have to sort my box out, might see if I can get a support vehicle pass and bring the old girl out

Any idea what's causing the boost cut?

At first I thought I blew the plenum piping off, cause it's happened before and felt the same.

 

Wasnt it, then got under the car to make sure I hadn't melted away my wastegate lines cause it dosed like 3 times consecutively. No luck there. Decided to test drive it on street and ran like a champ. One of those things, maybe just ecu went into protection cause of boost creep on such a cool night. Will just have to monitor and see what happens.

 

whats going on with your box? Mines on it's way haha

Mines just got a noisy input shaft bearing, I bought a box on the weekend, going to take it to Award and have it rebuilt and put that in, then once I got mine out I'm going to have it checked to see if it actually has been upgraded to 33 spec, then I'll price up going a ppg gear set and billet flex plate. I'll build my box the way I want then drop it in with a Nismo twin plate clutch next year some time

I'm not making huge power but just want it reliable. Making 360awkw but I'm changing exhaust (going custom 4' stainless) going to up the boost and might go flex tune. Hoping to be up around 450awkw if I go flex or 400 ish on pump fuel

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
