Hi guys,

I will be taking my tool box and jack and stands and a few supplies on saturday. If anyone needs to borrow anything for some running repairs come and see me.

Look for my car or a old silver/grey pajero with a trailer and i wont be too far away.

Cheers

Luke

good to see people pulling out, why why why.

and you people runnning e85 why not just add some ethanol into your tank and make a methanol mix. 95% ethanol can be purchased from bunnings. i hope you got your car tuned for e85. how quickly do you burn out plugs and cat's ?

iv'e seen some nasty stuff and wont go near it.

also i hope it doesn't bloody rain ! i'm not driving for hours to find out the event has been cancelled.

I've been running e85 for over a year now. Car make 40rwkw more through the whole rev range.

Plugs last just as long as with pulp and I never run a cat.

The bad stuff you hear about ethanol is mostly just fuel company properganda

of course I tune for it... If you didn't how would you gain any performance? :whoops:

Hey guys tried to make this but I was just too exhausted. I've been doing 6am starts all week without time to adjust (I normally do midnight closes) and then after some drama last night didn't manage to get to bed early like I'd hoped.

Bit of a weak excuse I know, but I'd probably fallen asleep at the wheel if I tried to make the 3hour trip.

well it was good the time i stayed there.... considering the hour or so wait I had to do (others longer) due to heathcotes mis-communication

must say NUTR-33..... wow just wow, your launches were awesome :P

how many runs did yous end up getting each? weather was good by the looks of it

as many runs as you could possibly want!

weather was fantastic, 15 degrees all day, sunny, mostly blue skys with a few cloudy patches, dry track and no wind!

was amazed at nutr33 pulling 1.7 60footers and consistant mid 11's!!!

managed a 13.55 @ 112 mph in rics car, not bad.. but unskilled launches and street radials will never help

Another great SAU / WRX day, thanks to everyone who helped organise it. Been a long time since the last one :)

Even with the late start you could have as many runs as you liked, practically finish your run, drive back around to the start line and go again.

I couldn't quite squeeze back into the 11's, had to settle for bests of 12.07, 12.11, + 12.12, but I am impressed that I almost cracked 120mph (119.85)! Makes we want to buy some better tyres, touch up the tune with a bit more power and give it another shot.

And yeah that NUTR-33 really hooked up! sounded good doing it too!

NUTR33 was awesome to watch along with the yellow M3. Geez that guy drove the wheels off that thing. 200rwkw NA and running high 12s.

Finally got a 12 second time slip for the old 31. It ran low 14s all day @110-11mph then decided to throw the ET streets on. 60 foots came down to 2.1 (from 2.6) and it snuck in a 12.94 @ 108mph still with wheel spin through the 60ft. As the track people arrived a couple hours late they didnt spray any traction compound down and as its rained all week the track was an ice rink.

Thanks to the organisers.

+1 for nutr33 comments, that thing sounded so good and looked cool seeing it just squat down and put the power down.

thanks to SAUvic/WRX club for organising, had a great day. i think we only raced from 2-5pm but there was only 1 or 2 cars left by then and I reckon you could have got 20runs in the 3 hours. i liked how we didn't have to wait forever between runs, made it easier to remember what I'd done wrong in the last run.

Managed to improve my previous best from 15.3 down to 14.85@98mph which I was pretty happy with. I was actually only hoping to hit a 15.1 which is a good time for a 4seater NA zed (there area few 2 seaters in the 14's), was pretty surprised to hit the high 14s.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
