Also, huge effort by team TWOOGLE for driving back to Newcastle, collecting another GTR gearbox, driving back to ECR for Saturday morning, spending ALL DAY swapping bell housings and installing the box, then getting out there on Sunday and taking the 2nd place trophy for 'Blown 6 Cylinder' on the dyno with 626hp @ the wheels... That's over 460kW!!

Hard luck award shared between Paul & Stacey as well as Scott who tore the centre out of a rim while drifting. ouch.

347.5HP (259.1kW) at the treads. Still has more in it with the correct bottle pressure (was running 800psi at the time - should of been 1100.

I'm more than happy with this though as it's exactly as I race it at WSID.

LOL...thats a sure way to get into a whole lot of trouble.

If i was an organiser there is no way that would fly. 130km/h speed limit would be a joke...you back off past the flag points, but the rest of the lap you have to assume ppl are going 110%:P

Out of interest, what sort of insurance was the event covered by, i thought Easter Creek in light of Tod Wilkes etc etc would have been a little more anal:(

Day 1 was shit.

Day 2 and especially 3 were a blast. Got to rip around the track and do nearly anything you wanted within reason.. Drift comp didnt' get cancelled so was a great chance to try to kill myself, and I nearly succceded on several occations The cruise sessions were good too, as on the later 2 days the officials losened their neckties or something because I basically got to circuit race for a few hours, hitting some nice speeds.

From what I could see, there were too many cars on the track to do any serious time attack efforts. Most people were content to just do rolling burnouts on any section of straight, or try and drift a bit. Imagine all categories at a track day going on the track at once, and drag cars at that!

Was funny tho, and a great sight to see alot of blown, methanol burning open pipe'd V8's smoking the treads on the main straight. I shudder to think how many 200l barrels were consumed over the weekend..

A big thanks to everyone who helped Dirt garage with Twoogle on Saturday with the gearbox change. It was a huge effort with about a dozen ppl helping in some way. We are so glad we did'nt give up and go home it was all worth it with Twoogle (two.06l) showing us all how exciting and competitive a dyno comp can really be. We were all absolutely blown away by the end result. It was great showing the V8 blokes what a GTR can really do. Paul also went really well in the street racing. Ended up coming 3rd.

Thanks to Adrian (2rismo) who really helped by finding us a pit lane garage to work in and some tools etc. Also Macca form Steve's Speedshop who just came to say hello and was under the car for about 3 hrs.

Probably the funniest part of the event was spotting the biggest Bogan. My GOD!! they were everywhere.

Cant wait till compact attack and Drag combat. These events at least really appreciate imports. Now I am on the search for a roll cage. I think we may need one!

Thanks all again. :P Stace, Pauly and Twoogle

A fun weekend.

Must admit to being a little surprised by the anti Skyline sentiment in the "off street drags".

More than half the spectators seemed happy to barrack for a non-descript bucket hot rod thing with huge this and that. Anything as long as it wasn't that *&@#^$% GTR thing.

Thankfully there were some exceptions (apart from us).

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
