Awesome day, some seriously fast cars out on the track all day long which was awesome to see :D:D

Shame a few left a bit worse for wear :D:(

GRACER blew a power steering belt ripping the crank angle sensor wiring out :D:( got it bodgied up and got home without power sterring which was great to see....

the white R32 GTR that lost the bonnet was disapointing... appeared to be pretty cosmetic but windscreens arent cheap....

B-Man - am i wrong in assuming you were driving the white R33??? i saw the car blowing heaps of smoke but wasnt to sure if you made it back or not??

The man hours that musta gone into that car would be amazing. I don't think their was a single standard part that I could see that hadn't been touched in some way.

Ha ha - No that wasn't me - but I saw that guy. Duncan and I were talking about him - His smoke kept ketting worse and worse and worse until bang.... (That was a GTR)

I was in the Silver R33 GTS-t - Went out first session - did about 4 laps, punted it down the straight, then when I braked/decelarated - massive amounts of white smoke from the exhaust. I think it scared the shit out of the Shane and Ben behind me - he he.

I parked it after that.

Drove home no problems - still makes boost. So I'm pretty sure its a seal in the CHRA. Not a big deal - Just more $$ (which I don't have)

Cheers,

:werd:

that guy was great.

its great to see what is acheivable with our cars with some talent :Oops:

ahh well all in good time :D

Tell me about it. I was coming onto the straight when my mirrors where filled with Jimbos line and then as he passed me I notice it wasnt jimbo in the pilots seat.

Hey Tosh GTR's are not immortal.

Roy Zed was strong but did not come up fastest car. Kinda The fish that got away story. I was only timed in the first session when I was setting up tyre pressures and suspension getting used to new set up etc Also was hitting rev limiter which we had a bit low only 7,000rpm. Second timed session when I was rounding everyone up, although Geoff from SSS Automotive was not there, only came back very late when he left to change rear diff so? One of my Zed fans with a zed stop watch timed me at 48 something secs. Skylines ruled again though in numbers and times. Lots of rubber on the track which got distracting and exciting when getting up close to car in front prior to over taking with rubber hitting your screen.

Big role up had 50 cars.

Times will be on our site soon.

Its also up on the racetime website

Good to such a good turn out after last year, damn shame about the skylines that died though :)

John, good to see it wasn't you that forgot the bonnet pins this time :cheers:

Yojimbo here (SAU wont let me log out and back in as myself), I just wanted some photos of the silvia.

I dropped around to Hills Motorsport after lunch on saturday after a call from Mark and Siko for an epic mission to get this car finished, and didnt get home till 8pm sunday !!!

When I left home i never imagined I wouldnt return before the track session and so I left my camera behind :)

Totally rooted by the time we got back but well worth it. 30 hours from nothing to rb26, including all 'cooler plumbing and incorporating factory loom and modified factory computer, fuel system, tuning....

As well as a stop to RESPRAY THE FRONT HALF OF THE CAR !!!!

Need Pics - we were too busy to take any !!

ALSO, the silvia was only running about 14psi, the least boost that the wastegate would allow. made well in exces of 280 rwkw - power could not be measured even with 4 100 kg guys in the boot ! 280 was just the highest figure recorded.

Damn

I thought the clutch was slipping in 3rd and 4th untill I seen under the bonnet of that thing

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
