cheers

yeah well it goes without saying that a bigger turb is going to get u a faster speed :D

its in the pipelines... still waiting to hear back about my FMIC.

lol hope it works... i might try converting it again... altho i just found one of u and steve :D cant hear urs as well tho.

eric cancel it!!

I am still pissed i missed it!

Ex how did u pull a 13.8??

did u use that special fuel you were talking about last week?

I guess it comes down to setup, I ran a few low 14s, then got the 13.9, ive got really good rubber, good clutch, and I guess my safc is tuned really well..

mmm.. more power needed.

/me slaps himself..

Had some good clean fun yesterday!

I didn't run the quater, but it was good to catch up with Dave, and the boys from ICE. They put in some impressive runs, however i think Dave (leewah) was looking for more.

Came in the 555 WRX, which performed well. Clutch was still good for the drive home which as everyone knows is the week point in WRX's :) Just a shame we couldn't work the Boost out, there was a flat 13 waiting on the day we just couldn't reach.

Weather gave me the shits! plus everytime we got a break the V8's would start up, have a few runs, then drop oil all over the track. more time wasted. :D

Next time I will definatly have my car ready so put me on the list now.

Well... my Manual Calais Turbo... (a skyline in drag for the day)

i got a 15.021 @ 99.38

with a 60' of 2.599.

That was Disgraceful if you ask me. :Oops:

I've only had the car 3 days and i can't seem to get the thing moving. Any tips?

It's got a small AVO stage 1 stlye cooler.. 3" zorst and a hi-flowd T03-->15psi

So is it fair to say it should've been more to the mid 14's ???

My vacum hose came out of the boost gauge and it was busted so it didn't go back in, so i guess i would've lost a bit of boost ???

WTF am i doing wrong :D :confused:

I dunno.. I'm sad

Traction... not a lot.

I ripped a BIG :burnout: before that run but it still was skating all up first.

The ozperformace guy's reckon a 13 on good street tyres is possible and maybe a high 12 on slicks.. :D

It's just what tyres to get ?!?!?!?

Also... i had more grip on sat night (i swear i wasn't racing on the street mommy) than at Calder!

R31Nismoid, the thing i was told once by a tyre place is that u have to be careful when your lighting up the rears before u run down the 1/4

with most street tyres, theres a threshold point of temp, pass it and the stickness is not better than when they were cold

unlike slicks, street radials wernt designed for the track

i was also tipped that u can get treatment for street radials, its a paste u put on the night before run, breaks down teh rubber abit and makes it super sticky..the only catch is u probably have to put the tyres on when u get to the track and not drive up there with the treatment on the tyres

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
