Did anyone end up going to this?

I wasn't going to go but a mate of mine called me up this morning wanting to go. I gave the GTR a bit of a blast on a couple of hot lap sessions which was a bit of fun, haven't take the R on the track till today. Didn't look like a bad turnout with a lot of different things going on and actual events that people could go in.

Should've mad this an event on my calender. Oh well, there is always next year.

P.S. If anyone did go.......did anyone get any pics, I forgot my camera....:oops

Yeah, went out there with the idea of taking it easy as I haven't modified the sump yet (new sump is sitting on my lounge room floor) but the minute I got out there I couldn't help myself. Was fun, but the brakes are a bit sad now......oh well, yet another thing to upgrade.....

Erin did ask if some people wanted to be in a club stand but there was limited intrest so there was no SAU stand there, maybe next year :cheers:

I wanted to go for the burnout comps, but really want to get my bar and skirts painted so saving up for that to get done is the priority atm ;)

Sounds like it was fun though!

Hey guys it's a wicked event, I went to Powercruise last year too so as soon as we found out a replacement event had been organised for QR again this year we were there!

I went down with our group from Hervey Bay (400km drive) for the whole weekend arriving Friday 7am in the morning so we could get a good campsite. They weren't going to but they let us run around the track that afternoon for two hours!!

I took the GTR around for the hot laps after having only just finished tuning it for 1bar on standard turbo's at 9pm thursday night (I never leave anything till the last minute!! hehe) and well wasn't doing too bad save for the f**ked falken azenis tyres I was running on with too much pressure as instructed at the drivers briefing - 40psi hmph! I'll stick to 34/32psi next time.

Anyway coming up the front straight in lap 4 one turbo cried ENOUGH! ... oh well at least it made 329.1rwhp earlier that day... Which leads me to my next question... anyone got a standard R32GTR turbo they wanna sell?!

I disconnected the wastegate actuator on the good turbo so I wouldn't stuff it as well on the way home. Drove it home last night with no boost :Oops: Damn what a slug! I even lost a race to our support vehicle - a turbo diesel patrol! :cheers:

I've got a few pics might post them later today... Anyone else on the forums go?

Sorry I couldn't post pics guys as it turns out we didn't take nearly as many as I thought; but here's a quick vid that was taken by one of the guys from our campsite. It shows fullysic running a WRX.... don't know if he beat it, as it looks like a close run...

Maybe fullysic can tell us if he did paste the WRX...? :kick:

Enjoy. MPG video here (zipped)

i heard that cops set up a defect station just outside towards the end of cruzetime??

truth?????

probly.........they usually do it for jamboree and everything as well....WAY TO GO COPS, great way to encourage ppl to go to the track, your gaurenteed some gay defect the minute you leave. They should say something like, "thanks for not illegaly street racing, however as we havent been able to fine you for that we're going to have to make it up on defects, please pull into the bay and prepare for mass rapage!"

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
