Ah well. Another MAS is over and people are back at work recovering from a long weekend of cleaning cars, talking to car enthusiasts and the general public.

A great showing again by SAU representitives and supporters.

I just thought I'd take this time to thank the many people who helped out getting my car to MAS again and assisted in making MAS dyno history again when my car ran 604awkw. Although we were intending on breaking my own outright record of 617rwkw, wheelspin didn't help our cause and we couldn't get a solid run out of the rollers :)

On a personal note, I want to thank:

Nige

Gerald

Karlos

Pete

Mick

who put in all the hard yards and late nights to get my car into MAS this time round. The engine sounded solid and made good numbers without flinching. The flame on Sat was defiantely a Kodak moment (Thanks SnowBall). 30kms of running in on the dyno and then making big numbers just goes to show how good the work is. As you may or may not know, the car wasn't ready until 5am on Sat morning and we drove the car into the Shed at 9:30am before the crowds came in. Talk about a close call. Without them, my car would still be sitting in the factory doing sweet nothing.

Jack (JAGR33) for making the effort to tow the cars from Ice to Jeff's Shed late Friday night and first thing again on Sat morning. Also, thanks to Nontas for towing my car back to TGS on Sunday night.

Thanks to Bec fro getting me the hot water for the car on Sat when it was needed. I hope the bucket went back to the owner coz I used my own bucket on Sunday and left it at the Shed :P

Thanks goes to Tony from TGS for storing my car on Sunday night. If it wasn't for him, my night would have been a lot longer driving the R to Richmond, coming back to the city and picking up the 6. Wouldn't have been fun.

Thanks to RPMZ, Kel and DJ Abs for organising the shirts, girly outfits, designs for the flyers, the after party and decks on the display. Another fine effort and greatly appreciated.

A special thanks to the fine fine ladiez who volunteered their time to promote FA, have their photos taken with the crowd and hand out flyers on Sat to promote the after party. A stunning effort indeed.

Finally, thanks to all the supporters who did favours for me and the Ice guys to make our lives easier.

If I've missed anyone out, I'm sorry but I do appreciate the efforts.

See you all at the NDSOC day on 28 May!

Congrats on the result, one hell of an achievement. Always good to see a GTR decimating all on the dyno. nice.

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
