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

    • 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.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
