Hmmmm.... I leave for one day and my performance thread has tax advice on it..... hmmmmm

oh well that is cool with me....

Hey that was a good night thursday night...

I had a blast...

I don't know about that dude in the GTiR though... I promise you I didn't rev my motor and he still did a limiter launch... silly boy you should know that if I don't race there is something wrong cause I will race anything that moves if the cops ain't around... oh well expensive lesson I suppose...

Hey at our prime garage spank was cruising with 13 Cars... that is a good effort for just a little get together for Tone on the virginal run of the Cosmo...

Man that thing goes... although I am keen for a rematch... hell I might have to throw some more money at my car...

Actually at least I did that commodore over... crappy VL turbos... Although apparently that is a nice one... I even had time to pull the clutch in and grab some more revs to race him... that is almost ashame... but that is what you get for owning a barge that doesn't have a V8 (just thought I better recognize that Vals have the fat ass... although at 1380 Kg... they are lighter than Jays Taxi!! )

Actually if my 'cooler turns up in time I might have to go on the 16th... my car is like twice as fast at night than it is in the day... A nice cool August day and a nice shiny new intercooler could be the perfect thing for some fun and games at the track...

Dev I am bulk keen to see how you go at the Drags... these All Wheel Drive things shouldn't have to much traction trouble... not to much skill involved.... what is it.... limiter.... dump.... at least it looks like you got skills... I'm hearing those magical no. Dev 12.99 that is a 12 in anyone's books...

actually I am hoping it won't take to much to talk Tone into running... I would think it will run a low 13 now... he beat me by a car lenght and has a heap more in tuning to go yet... so that should be good if we can get it sorted for the 16th...

the problem is all these people that are so worried about everyone else that they won't go to the drags so they can say "oh yeah my car runs the numbers... " but yet they never just have the simple fun of racing... weither it runs 11's or 19's no one really cars as long as you have fun... and that is what I am trying to get Tone to recognise... he is worried that the Cosmo has a Reputation and if it isn't full tuned and running like 12's someone will think it is junk... I say let them think it is Junk but they'd want to be packing one hell of a peice of machinery to top him on the street after some more little tuning mods...

And I really want to see these preludes run as well... I like the VTEC motors... I raced a 1.6 VTEC Civic when my Silvia was still non-turbo... I beat it... but it was still cool... 1.6 and it never left my door... pretty impressive.... although Boost is better...

Anyway Emma is having a House Warming Party tonight so I better go do the right thing... I hope to see you all there... I will need your help to drink the BEER... there is like so much of it... she really put alot of effort in so I hope you all have fun...

anyway guys have fun and keep it smoking...

I WILL GET THAT ROTOR NEXT TIME... NEXT TIME TONY, NEXT TIME

Hi everyone it really was a great night last night. Kingy you should have come and pulled up with us, that was what we where waiting for.

Oh yeah dudes, just thought I'd share Marshall's and Hoary's idea with you all. They both reckon that you need "HSV: I JUST SPANKED ONE" stickers, LOL, go the spank crew!

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
