yeah not a rag, hopefully the boys can have it ready for tomorow.

Hope so it sounds gr8.

Also the demo drifts at lunch time the quad rotor of Mad Mike's sounds awesome , till it lunched itself.

Some gr8 cars here this year.

Cya on the way back for the 4hr drift session, WOOHOO.

So where is the Fernandez Ute?

No longer listed on the website I've been told. So much for his "we deal with these builds all the time, this is what we do" when it was said he had alot of work to do in a short time

The story on Mikes car was nothing engine related. Blew a diff and then co-incidentally backfired simultaneously igniting the oil!

It has since been fixed and back out on the track though.

was up there today n was great to see the gtrs going strong.

only things that shitted me was the guy in the tower, he wouldnt shut up, all i wanted to hear was the cars screaming down the straight but all u heard was his shit voice.

the cars have certainly stepped it up from last year. did the 180 blow n engine or sumthing? there was another big stoppage after mad mike?

congrats to Marek T. currently leading Club class with a 1:42.5 in an R35 daily driver, great time for street tyres on a 1700kg+ car.

Also it was great seeing so many people, what a fantastic day.

    • I have a 6 boost manifold and it has loads of bends etc. turbo has a cover however manifold doesn’t so I started to wrap what I could without taking turbo off. Very restricted area   are you stating wrapping could lead to cracking weld? Is that because heat is retained?    i have a exhaust gas temp right after turbo and it hits 700degree or 800 at times.   there are areas which is impossible to reach with fibre glass cloth. Is there anything I could apply such as the photo shared earlier which would formulate around exhaust pipe in difficult to reach areas, sort of like aluminium foil flexible to shape it in place?   i think from earlier reply you mentioned acl? Is this what you meant?   https://www.nstparts.com/product/acl-heat-shield-700x275     photo of my engine bay   https://ibb.co/9grHsMN https://ibb.co/bXC8KRM https://ibb.co/KV3kGZc   I am trying to cover bottom of the exhaust manifold which joins the turbo. Only way is to take turbo and possible manifold out as it also touches the engine mount which I don’t fancy doing
    • So....I managed to fix the belt coming off problem, but unfortunately i destroyed my oil pump. While testing and hitting my rev limiter a bunch, my oil pump took a shit. I actually heard it break. In my great wisdom i decided to hit redline 5 times (original plan). Lowered it to 7500 for the soft limiter. Normally it would come off on the first go. The 6th time I hit the limiter the pump broke and as i began accelerating again and hit it the 7th time, oil pressure dropped and the protection kicked in. It actually made a "tink" as if i dropped something hollow.   The motor is pulled and should be rebuilt and put back in 3 weeks. No bearings were spun and i could have gotten away with simply replacing the pump, but since i had to pull the motor....might as well build it   I made a billet tensioner and the belt stayed on without getting frayed. I also made one for a friends R33, but I was thinking of using a hydraulic unit to keep constant pressure on it when the belt stretches.
    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
