I am so going to kick your ass Jhon !!!!!!! :evil:

hehe yeah, but my injectors are still only at 40% duty, and i still have c16 and methanol as options combined with more boost will definately push the car into the 10's.... its just a matter of getting everything perfect again before moving onto the next stage.... atm the needs bigger slick as its fries them off the line and between 1st and 2nd.

As you pointed out John my boy, there is plenty of potential...the only thing holding you back WILL be traction, as is the case for many a hipo rear drive car, especially one with the amount of torque that thing would put out!!!

You may even have to look at a multi-link rear as the old IRS has its limits

hehe, yeah, im sure i will find thos limits and the not too distant future. My slicks being 8 years old probably doesnt help, the new set wont be radials but im looking into those dot approved ones.. and going 1 to 1 1/2" wider. I think as it stands it will go faster with new slicks... but buying christmas pressies for everybody has put slicks on the bottom of my list of things to get at the moment... i need a better job!! haha..

Or to give up with the car... all its left me with is a maxed out credit card, large loan to repay, and an unforgetable ear to ear smil everytime it goes down the track.... yeah its worth it.

So very true, my old boy used to say something similar to mum..."you want a new iron, well I want a new dizzy, and a new iron aint gonna make shit go quicker"

Its addictive, been there since I was little, just cannot aford to get back into it, but where there is a will there is a way!!!

I have made an agreement with work that once funds are up I will be heading out there more often so I will drop by and have a chat, I am usually with GTR/EvoCam whom I think you have spoken to a few times, I usually try and give cam advice and help set up the car...

Where do people want to meet? I can't leave work until 4pm, so earliest can get there would be 5:30pm.. Not sure if anybody else is coming from the goldcoast, could meet up at coomera?

Anybody else who wants to meet up, want to meet at say Redbank Plaza (just off Ipwich Motorway) at 5:30 ?

Or alternatively, maybe just the Mobil just before Willowbank just to have a quick meet and greet before go in?

From memory, $45. I will be heading out and will probly meet you guys at the mobile just before Willobank around 5:30ish. If I am running late, I will just head straight to Willobank.

Without trying to bring a dampner on things, are you guys still heading out if it rains??

What's it cost?

If its raining, or looks like its going to rain I'm out.. as per above.

ok, well there doesn't seem to be massive interest for Redbank, I'll try and be at the Mobil at 5:30pm to say hello to whoever is there, and let down my tyres. Look out for a black stock looking r32 with an SAU sticker on the 1/4 window

how many kws you making now predator?

haha, not much.. Will see whether my times make a mockery of my dyno reading ...or not :(

Tyre pressure gauge my friend :)

Ok then wont bother going to redbank, straight to Mobil it is!

(shiny black 33, as per picture <--)

i said i was going but now i'm not. My family has this unnerving ability to plan my schedule for me. Family bbq with cousins from overseas tomorrow night. Be there or get left out of the will. There will be another chance to run the car. have fun y'all hope it doesn't rain for you.

cheers, Mark

I'll try to be at Mobil around 5:30. Might be running a little late depending on through city traffic. Look for a grey stocko looking 34 sedan. Not so shiny as it desperately needs a wash.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
