Just received a call from the tech inspector who said he will check my car at the track 8 to 9am so all go. Also tinkered on the dyno with cam gears and more yesterday and now makes 384rwkw 23psi and 200rwkw at 3400rpm. Car weighs a bit over 1400kg estimated and has 4.4 ratio diff and running 305 wide slicks, circuit racing type so not best and will be the handicap.

Get it out of the hole okay and you're a shoe-in for 11's, Johnny! Underestimate straightlining and you're a shoe-in for 14's !! ;)

384 is nice and all but for me the best bit is the 200kw a 3400rpm, that is some serious low down power... Nice work John.

Wow with that amount of power surely you'd be able to make a bold statement or two? That's way more power than any of us are making, and a better ratio than the 4.11's the 'Lines are using.

I'm up for a grudge match in my humble little standard GTS, I'll go as far to say 2 out of 3 races I'll have ya!

If it rains and the event is cancelled we'll be given the next available Saturday wsid has ;) but it wont rain

fcuk you drag boyz are soft, everyone knows the track is most fun when it is wet!

FFS Pete used to do rain dances before track days!

WTF is wrong with you people?

I am a bloody goose and the only person who mentioned the date!!!

Grrr!!!

just out of curiousity what is the average power for those who are attending tomorrow's event???

Ummm no.................

stuff it hahaha if anyones thinking of coming to watch, race, run nude, cheer or make love to me they wont be allowed in unless they're racing or pit crew of someone thats racing and on the list that will be at the gate ie not on list no entry as they're allowing no spectators

and BTW lets be clear the bretts not being the bastard here, he has been given *very* clear instructions from the track :D if we can make this day a success we may be allowed to have more club members along this time

Well, all incidents aside that was a bloody awesome day.

I can't wait for the next one.... a million thanks to Brett the Buster the man for organising it.

How'd the results go?

I only ran twice, 12.9 sec and 12.5 sec, didnt get the chance to strip the car out or even put the boost up before trouble struck. Also drove the red RX7 to 13.1 sec :D

Well this was the first time I've dressed in drag and you know I've been on the right track before, excuse the pun Dino. At the moment the mighty stock green machine is awaiting diagnosis so watch this space could be major could be minor but I never like to take a chance on these things.

I went, I had fun smacking all these Skylines. Did not even think of falling asleep it was actually fun. Not as much as 2rismo though he was on fire. First time for me. Shot my mouth off, educated experienced to some extent might add.saying " Should do a 11 sec " Missed first run did a 12.18 wheel spinning all the way. Later did a 11.56 130mph. They say this is fast but I don't know. I think 10 seconds is where it is at. It was faster than all the Skylines though or should I not mention this, he he.

Word is next big show down is Wed night drags 10th Nov. Going to be a big Zed turnout so plenty of contenders. Lets do a Zed Skyline Challenge this night? Yes I will be there with the slot car with a few more tweaks. Maybe get some of the big guns out. Any GTR's that beat me can turn off there front wheel drive and we party and see. No not fair, OK we run anyway.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
