I think it had forgies, not sure. Once he put a set of roller rockers in it it went a lot better.  He wanted some Yella Terra alloy heads but said it wasnt worth it on a 10A.

Whats in your FC,  i like old Holdens...still three on the tree?

My FC is stock.....See you at calder dude, talk is for the weak.

Talk is all i got mate. If i shift my auto manually and stall it up i should be able to break into the 14s...LOOL...this is fun...i havent talked this much sh1t in... in...well it must be hours surely:)

But seriously, have always thought drag racing is too brutal on the car, but just curious to see how the old girl goes, plus want to try a few new things on the car. No more dribble from me... i probably have you worried:)

My car is 5spd manual, isnt yours too :D

Come on, your clutch wont explode.. or will it :Paranoid:

Sh1t...110mph on 5psi...im sure its running the std turbo then:(

In all seriousness if i can get a low 13 or high 12 ill be stoked. I doubt i will though as i dont like launching hard in the car, probably the reason the car has been as reliable as it has over the years:)

Your cars been off the road for long nough, why not just extend that period by blowing the sh*t out of you box!!!

The=n you can take it back to ICE to build a new one out of three old ones they have, that they don't know if it'll work or not..... j/k :spcow:

This is why I have stayed away from drags (Except on the street) at Calder etc. I like the idea of testing your cars power to weight in a straight line, but there are just way too many tools out there. St.Albans style di*ks with an arrogant attitude towards new people. I much prefer the enjoyable track days where everyone can give it a go and we can encourage newbies to join.

I'd like to go down to Calder with you Troy, but we may have to just keep to ourselves.

Come to PI in a fortnight...lol we will help peel your car off the wall when you realise that drag racing is for mummy's boys... throw some big stops and turns into the mix and dra queens go to water:)

:werd:

Just like a drag strip only you have to actualy turn at the end once you hit 200+ k/m :P

Yeah one day I want to give this a shot (if only so I can answer everyone when they ask what my car does down the 1/4! LOL) but until I get 2nd gear fixed I'll have to pass up.

But I'll try to come down for a look and to cheer you on Roy. Just don't break the car again before PI. Actually, you sure you don't want to wait til AFTER PI before you try this mate?

Red...your car sounds tasty... any details. Massive brakes? Cool!..110mph? Cool! Is it a 15yr jap jobbie, modded local delivery?

I like Series IV/V RX7s, almost bought one but where i lived at the time stopped me as the locals would have stolen it in a matter of weeks:(

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
