The Great Day/night Race Adventure

[Risking]

Was there something blocking one end!

[Duncan]

hey, what goes on driveway stays on driveway

[Angus Smart]

if ec is on this weekend i may come out to watch?

sunday did someone say?

and brad still chasing that headlight? or would you like my intake headlight to borrow?

[Duncan]

yeah its on this weekend, and watchers are welcome. just make sure you bring a gtr so i can steal bits when required lol. sunday is better as sat includes qualifying and scruitineering. and you will probably need to pay for entry

BTW.......I need an intake headlight for the new sports sedan....where did you get it, and do you mind if we make a mould from it?

[Angus Smart]

i dont think my gtr is good for pilfering parts at the moment. but my garage.. well thats another story..

and i think brad wants to mould it too. or do something along them lines.

its made by http://www.silkroad-jp.com/section/hli.html

[Duncan]

ahh good design. that solves my "sports sedans still need headlights" problem as well. But I am happy for brad to do all the hard work

[Neil]

have you shared how you worked out the oil temp gauge problem mad scientist?

ROFLMAO,,,Yea come on buddy share. Nothing like taking the piss out of poor Duncan. Such good fun..

He will come good,,,we just have to wait. Happy days.

As a great man said "It's not my car".

Neil.

[Duncan]

lol the volunteer mechanic's creed

[JAS-25T]

ahahhaha "can't see it from my house"

[Neil]

hey, what goes on driveway stays on driveway

But it wasn't in the driveway mate ,,,it was in the garage which you don't have.

I can still taste the oil.

Neil.

could be a chilly weekend thanks to the arsehole racing drivers club. $200 for a garage and they are all booked already by porsche drivers.

According to BOM

Saturday Mostly fine.

West: Min: 6 Max: 17

Sunday Chance shower.

West: Min: 7 Max: 17

looks like lovely 4wd turbo weather.

we need to get the pop off valve sorted this weekend too

BTW Brad I asked about our disagreement re the regs and the tech committee will get back to me. I will be happy if they agree with you I'd love a few more killer wasps or even better some less lag with those slow old turbos

[JAS-25T]

you use a pop off valve like how champ cars do to regulate boost?

[Sinful]

Do tell Duncan..I want to hear the story!!

[Risking]

Andrew id really like to borrow that headlight if you dont mind!!

Ill be out there on sunday so can pick it up from you then, Duncan you just want one of them??

I am getting a mould done of it and also a brake duct/intake mould too.

Duncan you know we're going to get an ammended rule book now with the loop holes fixed.

Also what form of boost controller are you actaully using Duncan??

You know that the form of controlling boost is free provided the pressure remains within the manufactures specs.

[Duncan]

Jas - yes we will run a pop off valve on the weekend that will enforce 11psi (stock boost for r32 gtr). If anyone has nissan docs confirming that n1s had the rumoured 14psi it would be really damn helpful to me....

Jess - sorry, can't hear you

Brad - they only know I have a question, not that there are different "interpretations" out there. I want it clarified before I spend another 1k on poncams. And yes I got agreeement to run a boost controller (i have greddy prospec blah blah thingy) because the standard boost control is *very* unreliable. so at least if the valve keeps going off I can turn it down a bit. And I would love a copy of the headlight for the sports sedan

Looks like the suspension might be in afterall, Gary has been flat out putting it together and we are going to try and fit it all up tomorrow night, and wheel align at the track on Sat morning.

That only leaves the side pipes and suspension pickup adjustments as the only things I still need to do for the new rules. Then onto building the spare engine, and if nothing goes wrong (lol) it will all be pretty organised.

[Duncan]

BTW I hear a rumour there will be a 400+rwkw gtr sport sedan running. If I didn't annoy them enough last weekend, I think a real one will this weekend will be interesting to see how it goes over a few laps - hope the have got some really nasty sticky slicks for it, about 325 wide would be nice

You know that the form of controlling boost is free provided the pressure remains within the manufactures specs.

You'd like the original one? or would you like the section/silkroad number?? hopefully i can make it out on sunday,

as for boost control, get a large needle, and start poking thousands of holes in your accuator lines, and then pray it all holds together

[Duncan]

lol I think that is what they are trying to get on top of Andrew.

We are on 3rd so about 10ish and 2ish each day probably. new shocks are in after 1am this morning (and thanks for providing the cold cold garage and help Neil ), just needs a wheel alignment in the morning and off we go.

[benm]

For spectators at EC on the weekend, Saturday is free and Sunday is $15.

[lofty]
