I was trying very hard to keep my stuff-up a secret,,,like very in house,,, but seems thats dreaming.

Basically I stuffed up,,,went in to quickly and she woudn't turn, i was trying to catch a v6 supercharged commodore in my class and f**ked up.

Yes I have pics and vids,,,just no time for that malarcky,,, i have spend the last 2 weeks stripping her and putting her back together,,,12.30 nights every night, I'm rooted to say the least.

Cheryl Lives on,,,thanks to all the help from the following great people,,,in no particular order,,,i love you all

Pete and Jenna,,,thanks for all the parts,,,what would I have ever done without your help guys. THANK YOU

Duncan and Matty for all the helping put her back together,,,thanks both of you for all your time and effort,,,very much appreciated.

Mathew at Race Brakes Sydney for helping me out with new Discs and Pads,,thanks as always mate,.

So tomorrow a wheel alignment and get the front bar painted and she's good to go.

Cheers

Neil.

Seems some one was videoing Cheryl as well. At least she sounds great.

If the wheel alignment comes back bad and I can't take her to the SAU nats,,,I have a backup plan. I've been offered a drive of a very modified clubman.

Cheers

I've been into (or up actually) that bank as well mate. Probably 10 yrs or more ago.

Mt Cotton is a difficult place to come to and try to go real hard first time you've ever been there. It caught out alot of very experienced hillclimbers that weekend, so you're in good company.

Good to hear it's pretty much ready to go again :)

Yep on the money there Harry,,very technical track to get used to,,,I'm usually pretty good at working out where I can go quicker and I had lots of help from an old mate from up there. Seems I picked the wrong spot to go in deeper. Bit shocked at the carnage that happened,,,lots of open wheelers crashed which is very unusual.

Ben there were a number of times going down the 1st loop that I and many others had the old shvinkter tightening up.

Time to start packing for Adelaide,,,wheel alignment is great.

Heres my in car,,,everyone loves a stack.

actually it drives beautifully and very predictably, and has done more motorsport in the last 3 years than any other SAU car I can think of. I'd have it in a second over most cars around the forums.

Cheryl had a date with Yavus of Unigroup Engineering fame on Saturday and I believe she has fallen head over heals in love with him. After playing with her bits,,,I approved of cause and she now has 242kw's coming out of her rear end. I did ask if we could maybe lower her enthusiasm down a bit, but no was the answer.She does have a great rear end by the way.

That's using stock injectors,power fc, 040 pump, plasmaman inlet manifold,Z32 afm, FMIC and a Turbosmart boost controller.

We both left there very happy and I've entered her in next weekends VW Supersprint at Wakefield Park.

My only hope is I don't have to keep emptying her colostomy bag after every session.

Cheers

Neil

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
