And once again the forecast is storms and hail :)

Not according to the Bureau of Meteorology...

Just afternoon showers/storms... No hail.

METROPOLITAN FORECAST

AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT

BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY

NEW SOUTH WALES REGIONAL OFFICE

Issued at 8:54am on Wednesday the 28th of January 2004

For Wednesday

High fire danger in the west.  

The chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms otherwise fine with

lengthy sunny periods.

Light to moderate north to northeast winds, fresh at times on coast

in afternoon.

I'll be there !!!

I'm still yet to work out how to clone myself so I might be running between the Twi-light track sessions, Initial Drift and the WSID Drags.

Hopefully WSID runs under 100% lighting again so that I can take some pics. Not sure what time I will be arriving, hopefully about 5:30pm until close.

Can't wait to see this free drift event
Don't forget that the Drift Event is at a totally different venue and not within walking distance of WSID. (WSID parking lot to the Skidpan is a good 1km or more walk).

The entry for the EC Trackday/Drift carpark is also the Entry for the WSID Competitors gate (just opposite sides of the road) so you -might- be able to park at the Trackday/Drift carpark and watch some of that and then enter WSID thru the competitors fence (I doubt it tho).

Someone tell this guy he needs new rear suspension otherwise he's gonna leave his exhaust pipe mid-track :wassup:

I loved that car, the body is so tidy...he sure as hell couldnt complain about the rear being too stiff for good power down :(

Good to see Buster and IRB26T line up together, :(

Maybe in 2-3weeks ill venture out for a big "OIL DOWN" pass :Oops:

    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
