  1. dope is good, right? I am sure they mean 2x 27mm with 2 intakes, not 1x27 if you have 2 chargers, even if that is what is written (ie I'm sure it can be "fixed" as it is not the intent). 2x27mm = 458mm2 intake 1x38mm = 453mm2 intake
  2. got mine back on the track this weekend, the guys at UAS did a great job. 150+ laps flat out without any temp problems. Basically the only time we stopped was to refuel it. next up is a 1 hour race at wakefield in 5 weeks
  3. looks like it was mykk Best is 1.08 in production car form (12psi and 17x8 control tyres). Haven't had a chance to run it at proper boost on proper tyres there I guess it didn't go quicker than 1.09 or maybe high 08s, unfortunately the timer wasn't working. the focus was really on getting some long runs in prior to the 1 hour race there in 4 weeks. yeah about 10kw less on this motor, it is pretty tight compared to some in the past. ran very well though, even though it was literally only run in on the dyno the day before. But it does make very cool flames It was great to see so many new faces out there, and a huge thanks to all the instructors who gave their time to jump into passenger seats....hopefully they were able to provide lots of good tips
  4. Did you try front and rear? I was surprised to find they are different sizes per end. BTW careful with the attessa controller, don't use 2wd mode if it has it
  5. Thanks Jason, I appreciate you mentioning I actually came across an EJ-1 on Yahoo Japan after about 3 months, and put in a silly high bid to win it, which i did. It was actually in great condition including original box. Just need to sort out the unique wiring in my car and drop it in. Already had the dash. The price in that thread is interesting, I got the setup for about half that price. Still damn expensive but very cool.
  6. Great work by the organisers today, I thought the day went really well. And like Ron said, the weather was anything but usual for Wakie in July. A huge thanks from us for John, Ben and Dave from UAS, they got our race car back together at about 5pm yesterday and it ran beautifully all day. We did about 15 sessions between Kel, Neil and I, so at least 150 laps. And got though 140l of fuel too (just for you Ben ). No sign of issues with oil or water temp despite almost continuous running. Tried to give as many people a run in the car as we could, but in the end I think we have a turbo seal problem so I parked it.
  7. Congrats on running the car at Wakefield today - some niggling problems I think but that is normal for a first day out. well done

  10. hitting the road now. its cold. but not as cold as wakie will be
  11. that doesn't just happen mate, something is wrong. right master cylinder push rod? brake pedal OK?
  12. It's all true. UAS jumped through all the CAMS hoops AND got it finished 3 hours before I had to leave. A+++ would buy again. definately driving down on its own to put some k's on it. but I will bring the trailer to make sure I don't need a trailer (kind of like an umbrella). leaving early tomorrow....see you's all down there.
  13. lol personal. I've got one of those in the navara ute. got it for $10. for race use, a suede wheel with no/little dish + a just jap quick release is the way to go. for street driving any leather 330mm wheel is good. I think 350 is too large and 300 is too small (although mark swears by the small wheels). 330 suede for me from OMP or sparco.
  14. hmm they must be back. I had my nissan go missin there a few years ago
  15. drop Risking a pm, he has a 32 gtst shell with a cams compliant cromoly cage going cheap
  16. that's it....I'm respraying the front of the race car and dropping a brand new motor in it.
  17. filthy ricers! I understand Reece's car also has 5 reverse gears and 1 forward, just like their tanks.
  18. Liz we are full so we can do a refund. send me your mailing address and I'll organise a cheque. unless someone takes your spot first
  19. damn straight there will be people left....we have over 40 cars + passengers + spectators....plenty of people coming along. Bring your jackets!
  20. lol 7 bar sounds nice. might have a bit of trouble holding the head on. in unrelated news....I saw pics of the super turbo's older brother today....its a 1985 K10 March Turbo. Love the dash and steering wheel...
  21. while we are chatting about CR instead of turbos for a moment... I just checked old v new paperwork. I have had heads cc'ed at 63.5cc and 64.5cc. Had the one today been decked? It was the lower cc at 63.5 so higher CR. BTW overall CR will be affected by chamber size, gasket thickness, piston style, block height and even bore. lots of variables....
  22. I know Nathan (Nathan) and Kevin San (not sure of nick) have 2 in good condition in NSW. Nathan is working on at least 1 other one as well.
  23. Just spoke to the cafe-ers today, they will be open from 8am for hot coffee...
  24. I don't understand why we can't just cut the power to the hydraulic pump. that's where the preload comes from
