Yeah ill be heading down, not Skyline affiliated though!

My brother has a Blue HQ with a big F**K off engine in it... She doesnt look real pretty at the moment (body wise) but she should run a mid 11 tonight and he can pull a mean skid aswell - he has won the burnout comp quite a few times.

Soon the engine will be coming out in favour of a forced induction Chev with a big HP nitros setup. And we are also painting the car VB can green with an ice pearl over the top.... should look the goods.

I will be cruising around wearing a HSV jacket so if you see me aswell please say'hello.

Good luck Nick. Hope all goes well for you mate... See you tonight

ha ha its real hard lining up against some of those old school V8's and rotors that run 11's... can't even hear my car! a couple of times I have reached for the ignition only to discover its already on! staging and then waiting for those big loud bastards to take off so I can concentrate on my launch!

... hey is there a better way to block off the coolant overflow bottle without just tying a knot in the rubber piping?... I lost a lot of coolant last time...

when i went to the drags (heathcote with a ford club) they had to put a coke bottle in there for the overflow, so that the coolant didnt drip on the track....if thats what ur talking about

Well thanks for the "early" notice :P

Here i am, at home, waiting for my mate to finish working at Calder, when i could have been there, having a few runs with you guys :) .

Lately i have been considering taking it down, to see how much of an improvemnt the car has made since last time. Now i will have to wait another month b4 i can test it, as it is getting a few more performance tweaks.

ohh well, have a great night and post up your results.

Al

its ok Al... i think its about time another SAU drag day was held... hasnt been one for like...

FOREVER!!

man i still had my 32 back then and it was stock!

maybe wait til my new skyrines here so i can feel like one of the family again :P

just got back... and my ears are still ringing from all those big cube engines with no exhaust!

best was:

13.75 @ 103mph with a 60 foot of 2.2sec

getting some axle tramp, found it hooked up best with gradually feeding the throttle in after launching at 3000rpm... would have like to get a better 60ft time but oh well its still a pretty good time for stock turbo and ecu

time for beer

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
