Hi

Im involved with the V8owners forum and next sunday at WSID we have a private drag day. We need a few more cars for the event to happen and it would be great to see some Skylines there.

The days usually give about 6hrs of opportunity for racing in a relaxed atmosphere - there are even photographers and a guy getting footage of our cars for us. With only 50 cars maximum and this time probably less - there is a chance for lots of runs and lots of chances to tweak things.

All details are at http://forums.v8owners.com.au/showthread.php?t=1905

Great if anyone from here can attend.

Well, considering that I highly doubt WSID ever giving SAU NSW another private drag day, I think that this is a great opportunity to have a full day of drag racing. If I had my car running, I would be in this 100%.

The private drag days that I have attending have always been layed back and relaxing. Also, the last SAU NSW drag day had both Fords and Holdens, V8's and rotors.

Thanks for the invite, Steve.

But Charlie, it's only for cars slower than 11.00 seconds.

Perfect.

I noticed this quote in that V8owners thread:

Dave, I believe we have several more 2006 dates locked in for V8Owners events at WSID, and Pete is organising a couple that are going to be a little "different". It will be worth it.

Maybe SAU NSW should change their name :P

reeeeeeally long story but the summary was WSID tried to withhold money from our hire after it was rained out. We pointed out that they did not say there was a cancellation fee and that we needed out members' money back.

Now they don't want to deal with us because we didn't let them bully us.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
