Haha, why thanks Chris! :P Seems the little 32 has become my "beast" if you know what I mean, we all have an attachment to it now we've been through a bit together.

They creep up on you the silly things. In 5 weeks time i will have had my car for 10years! 8 years ago i would have told you i would have had a 94 LT1 Vette by now...oh well. :D

kinda offtopic-ish...!

but..

I told the mrs Im going here when we are in Dubai for our honeymoon :D

most likely will do the audi track tester

Unless Chris (tacker) has an event on and can take me for a lap or 5!

I just got back from Dubai and i was blown away how cool a place it is. Really nice resorts its not too crazy a price and there are cool cars galore.

There is certainly plenty for the Mrs to do to keep herself busy whilst you go do what you have to do at the race track :D

yeah, it will see Lakeside mostly, which is a driver's track, not a horsepower track. I reckon 61's for 5k is achievable. Can't be crazy loud, gotta stay under 95db :)

I didn't think 950 was overtly heavy..... what do you think we should be able to get it to? Have you built one of these pusserz?

I'm guessing this thing must be getting full slicks rather than semis? in that case I think its achieveable. On semis I think you'll need to get at least 160bhp at the wheels to have a realistic chance of 61s in that thing. What sort of power can you get from the supercharger? Or does that 5K budget stretch to a turbo conversion??? do these jiggers have a slippery in them?

Are we running a book on its stock (?) lap times on the 22nd?

I'll be back out there on the 22nd as well. Haven't had a steer for over 3 months! started work on my heap last night fixing the broken intercooler mounts... still have to swap springs around, fit & setup rear radius arms, fit the sump finally, and a few other things. Might even get its first australian wheel alignment! look out!

Well car has made 285rwkw's @ 20psi with a boost leak (injectors not sealing with plenum... farking plenum!), with 11.4 AFR's and only one cam timing change which is very promising... but now water is mixing with oil and we don't know why. I managed 1 lap of Sandown before I had to come in due to some oil spray on the manifold, and checked the dipstick to see a milky surprise.

Head gasket as replaced last week, head was decked and ever since then it's leaked. It's coming out again... :)

G'day Harry! Yeah, the plan is to run slicks on it. It's a 20V, not a charger, and it will stay that way. We still have a couple of k up our sleeve so may slip a Microtech into it at some stage. No LSD standard, but it seems they are fairly readily available on Yahoo.

Look forward to seeing you there again, I've totally worn out my 03G's, and have now got a set of KU36's to go on, really keen to see there lap time v cost v durability compared to the Dunlops.

Mate, if you ever want a hand or a drinkin buddy while you're messing with it, I'm not far away :)

Aaaaagh... mate your due for some good luck!

cheers mate. well if you get bored over the weekend, I'll be under the house working on it! Drinking buddies are always welcome!There'll be beers in the fridge mate. Have you got my number?

Those KU36 are unbeatable for the price, and will be very intersting to see how your times compare to the 03s. Will give me an idea what my Supra would have be capable of. I'd say ~2 sec slower than D03s. But 1/3rd the price! Supra ran 1:00.79 in May on them, but the rears had probably seen better days by then. But only place it would have hurt would be out of Carousell.

NA 20v? I'd suggest a piece of string from brake pedal to left nut to keep corner speeds up? lol I keep telling a mate Rob his 240Z should run 61s at Lakeside - he was over half a second faster than the Supra at QR Sprint track with a dirty old carbied L28. So no reason a 20v can't do it I suppose.

Ahh ffs!

Why did you swap the gasket anyway?

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
