Since there's been no mention or reference to Buster's Drag Day on the forums I thought I'd stir the pot... Do you think John's 300Z is going to do his proclaimed "easy 11's"? And what will pop on the motor? Will Adrian have enough nitrous/clutch for the day? Can Pete "Da Man" live for more than an hour without snapping boxes + driveshafts? Will "Dirt Garage" be going after the low mount record? Can Bu5ter pull off 128MPH in the Falcon wagon?

Place your bets!

Ok Chris - In Order:

Do you think John's 300Z is going to do his proclaimed "easy 11's"? And what will pop on the motor?

In short, no. I think "Team Trackday's resident Septigenerian" is going to find it harder than he expects on Saturday.

Will Adrian have enough nitrous/clutch for the day?

Enough Nitrous? Actually, my bottle is mostly empty - off to Robbie's house tonite I guess. Enough clutch? I reckon she'll be apples :D

Can Pete "Da Man" live for more than an hour without snapping boxes + driveshafts?

I hear that the auto's in now and I can't wait to see the times fall!

Will "Dirt Garage" be going after the low mount record?

Unfortunately, no.

Can Bu5ter pull off 128MPH in the Falcon wagon?

Buh-five-tah can do whatever he wants as long as it's Flintstones POWAH!

Will Doughie run a flukey 10 on his 1st pass and be made to sit out for the rest of the day?

hehehe....

Adrian

stickers are better Brett

You guys are lucky the datto broke a drive shaft on sunday from too many big rev launches

otherwise you might be in danger of dying of laughter.

Have fun poofs!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
