Provided the weather holds out im there to spectate. The roads are 90% dry in penrith and the sun is trying to break through the clouds but their are still occassional very light showers.

All eyes on www.wsid.com.au at 3-4pm :rolleyes:

Well I'm home now because we got rained out. :mad:

I got 4 runs in, all of which were crap.

I got to thinking and decided that the radiator airflow panel might be restricting me so we took it off and then the rain stopped another run but on the drive home it definitely felt more powerful.

The airbox itself is not a restriction, it's getting air to it that's the problem.

I would say my 256 dyno kilowatts are more like 220 road kilowatts with my current setup.

Hey mate,

Didnt get a run in coz of the weather, rocked up late...

Saw your runs.... shame about the rain... Cars looking good. yours too msp-25t.

Was gunna coe up and say hi, but saw your in depth conversation about the radiator panel with the boys! All that thinking prob heated up the engine bay a bit too....

Damn Mona with her impressiveness.

Ahh sorry Ben. Yeah it was one of those brainwaves that results in more money being spent on the car.

At least I did some good burnouts. My speedo saw 180km/h in a couple of them!!!

Ahh damn you Adam....so now i do the lamest burnout on SAU

Just got back to the workshop now. HAd a good nite, 3 passes in all. First was a 12.90 @ 111mph. (15psi, bogged launch from hell), Second pass was a 12.0 @ 116 - More boost and too many revs so up in wheelspin.

Last run was an 11.75 @ 121mph. Still has a bit in the 60'. :mad:

Well done Mona on the 12.60 and Abo on the BIG SMOKEY BURNOUTS!!!

Yes Paul, now you do the gheyest burnout in SAU!

Adrian/Daniel/Stuart :)

I guess I should have sacrificed a few more virgins, bloody rain.

Had a little fun with Abo bob and his 4 doors, sorry mate. :mad:

Did a PB in my sled 13.442 @ 107 mph, but a slow 2.17 60' time.

Gotta get that sorted. :)

Well done to Mona with her new tune and Daniels RNMENC.

    • I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump
    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
