Yeah, I just compared the two and the new one is a LOT bigger...

Don't forget our meeting on the 30th of January, at the shanty hotel (10 east of Wagga on the sturt hyway). This will be to discuss a larger overnight event for rural NSW and some others :D

I went to Narrandera Drags on 23rd. Got there at 10 and was gone by 12. Most sh1tful site I've ever been to. Hot, dry, dusty, hot, extra dusty, the veiwing was bloody woeful, 10 deep at the fence, no grandstands [even temporary ones would have been OK], the track was at 60 degrees away from the spectators, hot, bl00dy dusty, you could hear stuff going on, but you couldn't see diddly squat, dusty, dust everywhere and hot, no shade, and dust.

Carpark was a saltbush stubble wasteland, ground my car out a couple of times, needed my 4WD hilux.

You'd be better off going to Eastern Creek, Heathcote, or Calder, even the old Canberra strip was better [it actually wasn't too bad].

I won't be back, waste of money. And I reckon - going on the number of cars and motrobikes leaving when I was - that I'm not the only one thinking like this.

I agree with Narrandra, I arrived 11:00, was gone by 1. HEAPS of people left when I did. Had my vid carmera there and the footage I have says it all, boring, and far far away.

The drags themselves were good, and there seemed to be some fast cars having a big go (the trail bike lighting the back wheel was gold). The competitors did try and put on a showHowever if they built a dragstrip out here it might be a different story.. the carpark was like Ace Ventura in the 4wd bumping around.

The meeting on the 30th however offers all members flat parking, cool drinks and aircon. :P AND an oppurtunity to catch up with fellow liners.

Some time would people be interested in doing a cruise to Ulladulla? Which is halfway between sydney and canberra. Im right in the middle right on the beach. Really nice place here and a big carpark which would be perfect and sometimes cruises come down here to it :D

Im trying to organise a cruise to canberra on 18th feb to go see the butterfly effect with a few mates. Im also goin up that day to get some stuff done to the car. So it can be a day mission or an overnighter - its up to you.

Im keen for a cruise on any weekend really. You name a day and date and we'll most probably be there.

Like I said previously, post this on the south coast thread as there is a few lads from Narooma who might be keen aswell.

:D

    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm. 
    • I don't believe you.
    • All jokes aside, OP they're just called R32 oem rims as you said. The Nissan engineers back in the late 80's loosely copied the design from the Koya Driftek which was designed and produced about 18 years later.
