Too easy :P

so will your beasty be ready for Sunday? (not taking the piss, BTW, a serious qn) :D

Ill be there, the level of success i enjoy depends on a few things.

The tune needs to be finished, and while its there parts that were left off the car need to go back on, and they need to fix a strange timing/engine miss.

Then i need to get my new brake pads, bleed the fluid...wrap my exhaust manifold in its jammies and change the oil.

Going to be a few late nights this week...how that fits in with work i have no idea...most likely ill get sacked:(

Any spots left guys?

There is someone from here who will have to pull out (Adzmax) so if you are interested maybe you could take his spot. It will be cheaper to do that anyways as we have past the "early bird" cheaper rates day.

Also guys - I know its not as helpfull as being there but at the Club meet on Tuesday night I will bring my PS2 along (so that we can watch Shiv's DVD from Phillip Island on the big screen mostly) but also to give any first timers to Sandown a quick run through on the simulator the layout of the track. After spending a lot of time there yesterday with first timers to this track I have remembered just how difficult it is to find the fast way around this track if you don't have someone to give you some advise.

Hey guys just a heads up...

Bodily unmodified vehicles built after 1973 dont need a secondary bonnet restraint. Checked this today with Jim from Maserati Club, it also says that in the fine print before the entry form...

Are you sure...it does say for forward raising bonnets ie 240Z etc. Id be very surprised if a rear hinged cars like R31/32/33/34s dont require them.

Just what I got told today yeah, coz technically they do already have a secondary, standard wire clasp and then hook...

Perhaps someone else could query it, so we can get a firm answer?

Just got some Motul RF600 and Comp 9 front pads. Sold out of DS3000s, the Comp 9s are a few runs further up the ladder then the RB74s but still well short of Hawk Blues, DS3000s etc. Be interesting to see how they go...Silver Arrows was always happy with them on his GTR:)

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
