ps - bloodnut

been missing our calls lately?

We have had a bit of a hurdle. Whilst showing off on SAU dyno day we turned up boost and made 427rwkw once in morning then at very end of the day. She was blowing smoke which it had not done before and thought odd. We did a comp test and cylinder leakage last week and both down, and two cylinders had oil on spark plugs. Pulled it out and stripped the motor and found all rods bents mainly two and also twisted. We now know what stock rods linished and shot peened will not handle.

Anyway picked up crank today that needed a little linish and balanced with new Scat rods, head service and back together tomorrow and Wednesday as long as no major dramas will be there on Thursday even if a little late.

SAU Dyno Day Slot Car Gooooone

on the dyno bro

Motor went in this morning and apart from stripped out thread in bell housing for starter motor which we fixed, and alloy flywheel thread stripped, but solved and we are on track although cutting it fine. I also tested my NEW semi slicks and much better as I predicted than my used semi slicks I get for free or close to. Tomorrow will do 1 min 5 or maybe better if conditions are right. This means fatz goes after me and throws his dirt around. Bring on your GTR's.

John...what made it burn so much oil?

Hey John,

I hear you couldn't keep up with a certain little subaru...hehe

So i assume the little subaru went well?? i cant wait till i see ben to ask him, since u know already, HOW DID HE GO!?!??!???? times!?? and everyone else..!!?

Inclement weather = 4wd / AWD victory ...surely :yes:

I hear karaoke in Goulbourn with local girls is the thing to do when yo are on the sauce... :)

Yep I got smacked by Russles R32 GTR 1 min 6.3 I believe and looked awesome. Very well prepped and neat and clean, bit like fatz's R31 nugget?????? As predicted fatz was the entertainment though showing everyone reall men drift, and go off the end of the stragiht. Love the noise and the performacne of your dog box can't wait until I get one. stays on boost awesome. I did a silippery 1 min 10 .8 after it started to rain and my minimum groove semi slicks were not suited to wet that is for sure nearly lost it twice on that lap.

Lots of tough cars tehre and next one later in the year with good weather should be big.

So i assume the little subaru went well?? i cant wait till i see ben to ask him, since u know already, HOW DID HE GO!?!??!???? times!?? and everyone else..!!?

Think the 'little subaru' finished 3rd overall. I think he said he did a 1:08 in the wet. I think he was only running it on 1.1 bar too.

An Giant...of course the GTR is king!! (I hoped you rubbed Ben's nose in it just a little bit :))

I've had a quick glance at AutoSalon's site,but I can't see anything. Understandable,if they're all still recovering after what was probably a big day yesterday. Soooo....boys:any ideas on times/placings OTHER than a GT-R won(one of us? R32? 33? 34?) and someone(name?) in a Scoobie was going well? I want photo's,but I'll also assume everyone was too busy steering to take heaps of happy snaps as well.

I did not notice any crap or did I not hear it. I don't mind even if you did.

Yes the boat did not like the rain, 4wd ruled. Should be fine for our track day this Sunday little side bet with MADGTR R34 case of Corona on offer for best improvement. Shoe is on the other foot now though as Paul is running used slicks and I am on new semi slicks.

    • I haven鈥檛 taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....馃お  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
