I asked everytime we lined up it was a dark haired bloke not the normal Red head  

Red head he is great

The red headed guy who normally does the lane control is a top bloke and has looked after me and my mate jayosn (Black Mopar) many times when

we wanted to race each other.

and will organise it the dark haired fellow was a tool and would shrug his shoulders and say "if you want to run get in there or leave"  

I have had unpleasant experiences with a dark haired ANDRA guy at WISD who sometimes does the water box control.

The night I got bounced for running slicks with radials on the front I had to go to the pits and swap back to my street tyres. When I drove around the water box, this ****wit came up to me and told me if I touched the red area (the area in between the lanes that the officials stand inside) again I would be thrown out of the event.

I then watched countless other people with street tyres drive around the water box without any comment from captain ****wit.

I had my incar cameras on and captured the entire exchange ...

DYO sucks arse.

If they really have to have DYO, why dont they have it the other way. Instead of being eliminated for going under your time, get eliminated for going over your time.

That way there is no braking at the end.

The way it is at the moment doesnt make any sense to me.

I've had issues with the dark haired Andra guy too.

One street meet (just after WSID introduced the whole V8 only lane), I was given the wrong lane number. I went and borrowed the marker from the red-headed bloke and changed the number.

Mr dark-headed Andra guy saw me do this and was old me to change it (which I didn't). The rest of the night, he was standing and the entry to the staging lanes and tried to flag me down everytome I passed him.

Good thing he was too lazy to walk to the front of the staging lanes to tell me off some more...

Kenny...I say you should post the video :P

I just sent it to Jason O'Halloran, Geoff Crisp and Greg Shultz instead.

...and Roy....  If you ever get a chance to drive a RWD car capable of 9.50's, please please PLEASE jump at the opportunity.  Oh, and make sure we're all there to *cough* cheer you on!  :(

Been there done that, i use to have a 9.50sec Tamiya BigWig...:P

2rismo, how many passes have you done now with the gas and the std turbo...also what size gas kit are you using?

Hey 2rismo very flash, tyres are good so should do better.

How did Paul end up? I only saw one run he did up against girl in a pink WRX and she was slower but closer to her braket time thing. That is rude and must be frustrating. Sort of glad the slot car did not make it.

What's so hard with this ten second thing anyway 4WD. You should do it dragging an anchor with those tyres and 4WD and power you have.

What was your best time yesterday.

more frustrating is the fact that the throttle cable came out of the bracket on the plenum not even halfway down the strip (that was the run you saw). I was on the money too, as the 330' time was 4.61 which puts me around the 10.8 mark!

Best time was a 11.200 with no 4th gear! it just wouldn't go in...9.2 to the 1000' mark another 10 sec pass goes begging

Yep I thought you got of the loud peddle on that run.

mmmgtir and zed's with GTR bits.

Yep the loud pedal went to the floor and the car was only idling. Hope you can get the slot car racing soon....would love a bit of heads-up action. Racing is only exciting when you are qualifying, in the finals all you are doing is trying to work out the maths of DYO.

1/ Better fuel - Optimax is the most useless shit in my car. Car's running through the fuel test were reporting 96.x octane!!

2/ That will let me put the extra timing back into my car that I took out to compensate for the shitty fuel.

3/ That's about it - Maybe not have 3/4 of a tank of fuel next time :)

Hi, Stace here......just wanted to say thanks to all the people who helped with Twoogle. Phatpat, Matt, Morgs, Buster, Chris. Once again Twoogle had many friends.

Did anyone hear my funny sms called out........I really think I deserved a prize. My question was "How long did it take John Barehams to grow his mullet?" hehehehe.

I cant wait till the track day. Maybe it will be me that can get that 10 after all. Come on Pauly whats taking you so long?? You know as well as I that Twoogle likes me better. :wassup:

BTW..... spx..Robert....the pics are great of the two reds.

Paul, Adrian and Robert all got PB's , so well done .

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
