You know what this means for SKYROD B-Man...back to the workshop. :mad:

Hey but at least you got to give it some stick, and it's a better reason than getting 15's from lack of power. :D

Yeah - and I gave it a go , which was fun ! I can only get better from here , hey ?

BTW - after 2nd run, when I filled WSID with smoke and the announcer thought I had blown a turbo ha ha ha - I rang John straight away and asked him to order me a super duper clutch......

Dang - next thing that will go is the diff, then the gear box - ha ha ha ha ha

Pretty disappointing day if you ask me. Certainly not worth the $30 I paid at the gate thats for sure, infact i'd say that the 2 previous Wednesday nite street meets have been much better. The crowd was well.... their wasn't much of a crowd, even from 8-10pm when it was much cooler.

Well done to 2rismo, B-Man, PranK, Merli etc for displaying SAU for us :cheers:

I have to say i was a little disappointed as well, there was about 4 hours when there werent even any cars running (& the track was fine...). The whole 'Drag Combat' thing didnt even match up to a street meet for entertainment.

Auto Salon wont be seeing any more of my money for a while... the 8.4 run from WAR-700 was pretty cool, so was the 13.1 from 2rismo. (oh so close to a 12 from what i presume is a std turbo)

... and hats off to Merli, Prank & 2rismo and co ( i saw yor cars, couldnt see the owners :Oops: ) for ignoring the heat etc etc....

The Autostyle guys rocked up with their pack of cars, couldnt believe none of the cars ran, considering they are all claiming big power from the T88 setups.

Well we had fun, appart from the heat and some other factors, such as a blown 3rd and 4th gear, and then being stuck in 5th.

We got a 13.5 first run ever then a couple of 12.0's and then later a 11.9.

We are looking forward to Qld (appart from the heat) should have some better times as we will be going in with a fully rebuilt gearbox that we blow on Monday. Yes that is right 2 gear box's in less then a week.

So if anyone in Qld has a spare gear box that would like to lend us while we are there just in case, we would thank you.

If you are going to Qld and you see us say Hello!.

Also if anyone got some pics or video of the car can send me a copy [email protected].

Cheers

Heat was ridiculous, organisation was similar.

Roy, did you miss the car run 13.0 ?? ;-) I snuck in a grudge match against a 9 sec gemini for the 13.1 but the previous round in eliminations i went a tenth quicker at about the same terminal speed.

By the end of the night i was trying ANYTHING to get the shagged, hard tyres to work and snag a 12. It wasnt to be however the speed through the traps lends itself convincingly to a solid 12 so i'm happy.

Good to catch up with some people on the day as well - GTR700, hats off. I wouldnt wanna be in Andrej's racing booties for quids!

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
