Very interesting day! Some serious power on show.

Although i made a joke of it today I was very very happy with my power curve and the cars very balanced performance. I mean come on people its only got a turbo back zorst! lol...

To be honest I was more happy the clutch held it down for three runs!

Was very suprised snoozy!!! 216 huh??? Stock huh??? pfttt

I'll be in trojan a few times before the next D-Day I think ;-)

I'd like to take this oppertunity to thank all those who came along,especially those who ran their cars. There were some standouts that I think were memorable:Tim's S13 running one of the neatest graph's seen on the day,the look of suprise on Race Snooze's face at a better-than-expected power figure(and no,Shaun-we all know it's not standard,LOL!!),the awesome run by Con's Trojan Motorsports' GTS-T(345 rwkw out of a RB25-FAAAARK!),Spyro's "sleeper" work ute,Amaru's 32 coming "on song" with a note that brought a big grin to my face,the mighty 186 powered Holden sounding so traditionally tough,the determination of the old school Soarer's owner(sorry,guy:lost your name in the faded memory bank...)to head home and get a spare after flatting a tyre on his first run...the list,for me,goes on.These are just a few standouts still clear in my hazy memory.Oh,and a certain little ZR running 509.something kilowatts(Killer-watts?!)at the tyres...DAAAAYYYM! Congrat's,Luch,on another trophy for the cabinet! Tim with the black S13 left too early:he won Judges' choice award-if you're on here,Tim,PM me-I've got a prize to get to you! And a big thanks to Glenn,Stace',Kris,our intrepid SAU camera crew,and all those behind the scenes for all their help.Plus of course Pete at Auto Tech for the day!

Very cool day, and yes the Z and the 345kw RB25 were standouts for me...

As for the Camera crew, your welcome Jayce (any chance to get a sh*t load of hot cars on film!), we will start editing straight away and hopefully we will have a preview for you in a matter of weeks!!!

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
