Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

that happen at Lala on Saturday Ruby?

A slower rider cut in on my line into turn 5, when i was going much faster than him. Slammed into him as he turned into my path. Both bikes and riders went into the dirt. Pretty lucky actually. Could have been worse.

Bore down on him thru turn 4. His bike tops out at 160 and mine was doing 190 and closing the gap fast. He was slower and way over to the left, so I saw my opening to get past before the turn. Before the northern hairpin he dipped into the turn early (too early) and closed that gap I was aiming for. I was already committed and couldn't change my line to avoid him at all. Grabbed the anchors, but the back wheel shot up in the air and I almost went over the bars. Backed off the brakes and hit him pretty hard still. He was doing about 40 into the turn, when I can enter it at about 80. Hand got crushed between his bike and mine. Impact was enough to smash the fairing and bend the handle bar into the tank.

I still did another session after that after quick fixing the bike :D ... but the bike developed mechanical problems (we put down to the impact of the crash) and had to retire in the next session. But not before I ran consistent 1m23 times on a bike I hadn't ridden in 2 years (I was running 1m27s then). So apart from the accident, I am happy with the timing results. Bike ran excellent, kudos to my mate for doing the base settings all round. I just need to repair the damage and I'm ready for racing next season.

:D

needless to say, slower bike rider copped a bit? :D

Cars all good to go, picking it up from Boostworx tomorrow night! Fuel pump and injectors are flowing fine, map had a bit more fuel put into it right across the range!

another +1 for Boostworx

Yeah. Quite obvious. His leg copped 140kg of bike and 80kg rider slamming into him. He was not game enough to take his boots off. His hand was badly bruised and on ice for the rest of the day. Like me, he wanted to finish his riding before seeking medical help :P I felt no impact and no injuries at all except for my fingers. Shows the benefit of good money on good protective gear. :D The LHS arm section of my full leathers shows where we hit, as does my glove also. I leaned my body into the contact before the bike. Hard to explain, but it protects against having the bars or levers hit which unsettles the bike, and helps keep you upright longer in a chance to save it after impact ... if you're lucky.

Dropped in on Tracy at the hospital before going out with mates to the pub, just to put her mind at rest that I was still in one piece and still up and about. She's banned me from racing or track days 2 months before our wedding :D

Fresh FM's main antenna is down! Struck by lightning and a bird flew into it.

No wonder! I waited around half an hour listening to static just incase Fresh FM might come back but alas had to tune to SAFM *shivers*

what about an earful, did he cop any of that? :D

Nah ... at the end of the day, we are both equally at fault for it. He was a racer also, not just an over-enthusiastic street rider, so be both know the risks. I could have waited for a better passing opportunity, he could have picked a better line thru the turn. Too many variables to start shifting blame. He came off worse than I did, so I didn't have the heart to ask him 'why he hogged the entry into the turn', when I could have just as well waited a little longer.

Everyone has bad days as well as good days. Saturday was just one of those bad days. Fix bike, heal, move on.

ruby, was this a graded day?

And if so are you allowed to undertake people?

It was a Kneescrapers day ... practice before the Sunday race day. There was no announcement or written notice that undertaking wasn't permitted during practice. No one (undertaking) got any warning from the officials, not even after the crash. The intent was there to undertake safely, but the gap closed very quick and I reacted too late.

Anyone know much about valiants? Bay to birdwood is coming this weekend and my grandparents valiant has been sitting in the garage for 3 yrs. Pretty keen to take it out. Any idea what would need replacing before cranking it over?

What oil to use where, and where to buy parts if I need them?

Cheers luke.

If you need a hand with the Val give me a buzz, had a few over the years. Pete's also a MOPAR fan too!

And in funnier news, just had a VS commodore go past my place sounding like a lawnmower with a foulded plug, actually i think the mower would've sounded better!

paid for my oil cooler back on 12/08/2009, the guy has been sick as with a chest infection, and then he said he will post it on 11/09/2009, no correspondence since. Hes a moderator so im sure im not getting ripped off, but just getting impatient!

ask him for tracking details of the parcel... i had an oil pump sent recently, once we tracked it it had actually spent 10 days in the couriers van and he handent dropped it off.... grrrrrrr!!!!!

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
