spose i shall have my say in regards to the previous argument, re: discussions on the sa forum.

im going to direct the moderators to this; the WA wasteland.

im glad the moderators are more active in keeping the garbage out of the SA section, but one of the rather charming things about our humble little forum was the occasional random/non-car related thread, which we had a few of. so im thinking a dedicated wasteland sub forum like in WA would be good for us, sure its more work, but im sure someone would be more than happy to put their hand up to moderate the 'wasteland' sub forum, hell, id even raise my hand.

sure, we're all crazy car loving lunatics, but we do occasionally enjoy things that are non car related and want to share these thoughts with other SA members, but with the crackdown in the main section, none feel 'safe' to do this anymore.

(yes, my post is a little disjointed, i just finished work.)

Dave, like Dale & Ben, you also make a good point. As I said to Dale, it's something that you would have to put to Christian (Prank) and get his thoughts on it.

And yes, as you and Dale have stated, we would definitely need another couple of Mods........any suggestions as to who is capable of diplomacy yet not backward in using a stick when warranted?! :(

EDIT

Good for you. Do it. Do it your way. Too many people are scared to fail and will never be adventurous.

When I built my supercharged SR20DE 200B, I had everyone in the "industry" telling me it couldn't be done ... two fold: can't fit an SR20 in a 200B and can't supercharge it. I love proving people wrong. I drove that car around for 2 years before I sold it, as it was, registered and inspected with the SR20De superhcarged.

I got the same reaction when I built my CA18DET vg30BB powered 1600 wagon, 13B powered Bluebird, and T25 turboed CBR1000 drag bike. All 4 times, proven them wrong and been happy with doing it my way.

I came to the conclusion long ago that there are sheep out there with no idea ... they only want you to do things their way. f**k it ... do it your way.

:(

I nearly said something yesterday in Damo's defence (and I know that it's all said with a tongue in cheek manner) but I bit my lip.

If SAU had more members like him (and I'm coming purely from a Mod's perspective), this place would be alot more enjoyable and less stressfull for all of us.

9 times out of 10 he stays on topic (having said that, we all stray), he doesn't go out of his way to be a smartass or stir the hornet's nest (unlike a couple I could mention) and yet with his enormous post count I don't recall ever having the need to steer him straight over any issue. :(

if there was to be a "wasteland" or "wasteland-styled" sub forum, id be happy to moderate that section. The other sections are being well moderated at the moment.

I don't have high hopes for a wasteland sub forum, seeing as we were declined a for sale sub forum a while back.

Yeah cost most of his post whoring are in wasteland which doesnt need modding anyhow ;D

Dunno how u managed 3000 extra posts than me damo, esp since u joined a year after me lols...

but srsly he'd be a good mod for any wasteland forum.

$0.02

cara just dont put the super charger on and then decide turbo after or ill kill you :( decide n live with it

sorry for those that have done it but i think its a bit lame buying a n/a car and putting a turbo on it when they have a turbo model, why modify it when you can go out and buy the same damn thing for prob cheaper & more often better. the only time i would accept a fake as being kinda cool is the shelby cobra kit car, because lets face it who the f can afford the real 1 and then have the balls to risk damaging it on the race track

^^ valid point and 1 i would reccomend aswell normally but i think cara more into being different than trying to shave seconds off lap times n bang for buck

Different yet f*cking so much more expensive for what you'll achieve with half the price if you ran a turbo. I'd sure hope Cara has deep wallets. It's like my mate, he want's to put a RB26 into a Supra and then make it have the GTR's 4WD system... and I said "Why?!" it's just so expensive.

But that's a whole other thread...

It just makes me think of all these people who have endless wallets who decide to go down the show car path, and modify the shit out the car (LCD's in the engine bay, etc) but to achieve what? A trophy? Play table tennis and you'll get a trophy.

i can get to organise a gokarting thingo damo

love organising these things

ummm i was thinking endurance style race or

we could do 2-3 lots of 12 driver grid individual races.....extreme gp is like 95 laps for $70

thats a individual style race..where you rack up points and winner gets a trohpy

so common people some advice!!!

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately?

Yes I'm 21, but I only went there a few months ago lol.

The go karts there are beyond slow. You can walk faster than them. So me and my mates were just clipping each others tires and ramming into each other, because when they're that slow, why even bother racing?

We got kicked off pretty quickly.

Man, Greenhills used to be awesome with the BMX bikes and stuff. And then the big bad Insurance company came in.

And here's my "Holy Shit that's a pretty decent car that Uncle Daniel would love to have in his shed" links for the day:

A what?! http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4727

Love the Cosmo: http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4719

yeah i think have tohe go-kart format the same as the last one, 2 drivers per car endurance race, changing every 15 or so laps or whatever it was.

Ok then i will get to organising it

i will try and work out a good little deal for us all...

and just a word of caution it will be organised at richmond kartmania

and the boys dont like when people are crashing and bashing their karts...

if you are deliberatly seen doing that they will kick you off their karts

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
