After spending all day Saturday at powercruise I have to say what an awesome event, it was great seeing Paul and Stace, Adrian and a few other SAU guys

I for one can't wait for next year and will be the first to enter :thumbsup:

Congrats to the Skyline people for having a go and doing imports proud

I saw a few of the guys out there on Friday I was with the red RX7 with gold FRs. The Friday was poorly organised, rules were very strictly enforced and not as good as we expected. I didn't go the rest of the weekend, but I've heard it was a hell of alot better!

Except for one Ferrari driver

I was also there on Friday and wasn't impressed at all with the organisation nor the marshalls' one-eyed view towards certain cars. Good to hear that things got better over the weekend.

What happened with this Ferrari? Pics? :)

I did the road trip and have to say it was well worth it.

The number of high quality and big dollar cars was much more than the previous 2 powercruises held in QLD, sorry Qlder's but it's true.

The program was on schedule if you were a Queenslander (laid back as usual) but alot of the sydneysiders were annoyed as things didnt run by NSW times. It wasn't the best time to have the event due to the royal easter show in syd, easternats in vic and cruisetime in qld all happening at the same time.

But at the end of the event I left grinning as I discovered some of the secrets of the VL "PSI" with the 712rwhp RB30DET :cheers:

and guess who smashed the 712rwhp VL in the Street Racing event......owned!!!

no point having over 700bhp and not being able to use it. By the way thats a great photo showing how properly set-up drag suspension should work.

also ....Duncan i was always a circuit racer, so i should have an idea on cornering. Will have my first "real" go at drag racing on the 9th at Compak Attak.

What do ya know - the SAU representation at a circuit was made up entirely of drag racers...

You circuit types really couldn't organise a root in a brothel could ya?

I had a ball and I'm stoked that I now have a power figure for 2RISMO the dirty nitrous cheaterer.

And that should be, "The secrets of the 737hp VL, PSI." What a weapon.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
