Bed? I only just finished playing with and packing the car - now I have around 3 hours of work reports to do that have to be out by 9am tomorrow morning .... sigh

Well I have just finished typing my work reports (and had a couple of little involuntary snoozes at my desk), so am heading to bed now for a couple of hours. See you chaps at City Dismantlers.

it was great to meet you guys at Mallala today (although i am still trying to match up SAU forum names to first names to cars!). while it was cold and wet standing out on the track in the rain with the instructors, i did manage to take quite a few photos so will try to post them up soon. i'm glad that i brought my waterproof jacket! sorry that i didn't get to chat with the guys in the third group before lunch but it's hard to cover the track on foot!

i hope that the rain held off after lunch and allowed the track to dry out for the half laps. sorry that i couldn't stay and play, but my one lap in the V35 on my way out was still fun :) i would have loved to bring out my other car, but as it is currently rolling on semi-slicks, it wouldn't have been much fun on the track or the street given the rain today.

i trust that you all had a good time and learnt a thing or two about your cars and driving techniques. this Advanced Driving course will hopefully whet your appetite for the High Performance course on November 23, so please fill out the form that Dean has given you to secure your place now! if you have any questions, please email Dean or PM me here.

cheers - Kim

like wise id like some pics... great day just frieken cold, gave me a stiff as neck... AWESOME THO and we (SAU:SA) and other skyline ppl that came with us should have a trackday some time? be great fun

Intercooler pipe reattached by Nyt so car made it home.

Rich had fouled up the plugs a bit but by the time I got home it was idling like a kitten again.

Had a great day guys - Thanks to Kim and Luke.

Absolutely keen for 23 November 2009. I might even be able to provide some more entertainment for the fans.

Cheers

Thanks for organising the day Kim - it was awesome fun and a great test on dry, damp & wet track conditions.

Glad your R33 GTR made it back Red Back. It was the only 'casualty' of the day so that's a pretty good effort all round.

Now I just need a helmet and new brakes by Nov 23rd. Anyway got some Brembo F40s they want to sell?

Yeah thanks Kim - definately an enjoyable day. Good to meet a lot you finally, with the only familar face being Andrews (from back in 03/04). As with Luke I learnt a hell of a lot and was very happy with how my car went considering the extra weight. Will definately be there in November. Gotta love the many handbrake attempts... I think Luke won that contest, followed closely by krishy - pretty good guys!! I'll post some pics up tomorrow - is anyone precious about their number plates?? If so speak out. :( Oh and still bummed HESLO got 168km/h max speed, beat me by 2km/h - bastard!! :)

Great day guys, glad you all enjoyed and will definately be there for the 23rd of November. Special thanks to Kim for doing all the leg work, you're a champ mate!

Craig, good contest mate! Can grab the vids you got of me and also any pics anyone may have? Could care less about plates being shown and as hi-res as possible :)

David, good to see you got home mate, definately the plugs yes?

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
