Event: Powercruise 2008

Date: 11th & 12th October 2008

Venue:Barbagello Raceway

Sponsers:Carline Mufflers & Supercheap Auto and much more...

Entry forms will be available between July and September 2008

ATM

-------------------------

Hey guys,

I had a lil chat with one of the organisers for the Power cruise, 1st time in Perth and most likely to be very big!

Power cruise able’s us to be their look at everyone’s cars E.g. They will be having a Show n Shine area,

Saturday will be mainly everyone mucking around

Day goes with a big cruise at the start then follows by anyone wanting to drift the track. Also drags. A lilt bit of a street race and a Power skid contest and much more with Show Girls and Models everywhere. Sunday the judges will be looking around for people entering the Drift / Drag / and the rest with people being awarded.

ATM they are trying to make it a camping over night which lets hope they do.

Pricing at the moment is $120 for people entering the Power cruise which is over the 2 days (this also includes Drift / drags and the rest) and camping Only pay a lil extra for the Dyno runs.

I suggest Bring spare tyres / petrol although depending on the sponsor their could be a tyre shop and maybe more.

Every will be able to enter! Althought they do suggest to send a pick of your car due 2 having ppl in rusted old cars going for the fun of it.

Once I know abit more I will post it. Cheers.

Sounds good. I will probably the GTT for a bit of track action as well as the show n shine.

The only thing is I dont think that the people of WASCC are going to be very impressed with what some of the big V8's and big HP imports are going to do to the track in the power skid competition.

cant wait to unleash my fully worked r33 gts-t, look out v8's!!!!!! my 500hp gtst is goin to eat them for breakfast!!

Aww man! I only just got wind of this, and now I find out that Gup has pulled the donk out of "Elvis" for his new project :banana: I was hanging out to see that beast.

Have they announced any eastern staters coming over for the event?

Got my official powercruise stickers and flyers in the mail a few weeks ago. Cant wait to rip apart the falcodores and vtec homeboys.

Only concern is having some idiot think his dick is a bit too big and crash into the back of me, wouldn’t be the first time.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
