meh half million dollar car, it's worth fixing.

plus let's remember the VL is the only good commodore holden ever made :pirate:

and plenty of race cars have been rebuilt from much worse damage than that. that's only minor damage.

as for the commodore comment, you take that back! NO commodore was ever good. having a mediocre nissan motor doesn't make the VL good. however the walky does improve it's standing.

Good god take that back, the Walkinshaws are f**king hideous. worth quite a bit of coin though.

Uncle had a VK Brock, that looked pretty cool.

Aaaaaaand looks like an RB30 won the day with a 284.7knh trap speed and a 19 point something second effort.

Seems the top overall is a Nissan field

After i posted this, it went and did 288kmh.

It looked to be at about 300 or 350m mark, hard to tell though.

If it was at 300-350m than it wasnt caused by lack of bonnet pins it was caused by broken bonnet pins because that bonnet would have removed itself well before 300m (which would be id say around 140+ kmh)

Weird.

Iam not sure of exact times of each car yet and dont want to get them wrong. Results should be up soon but you can look on natsoft. I was there supporting my brother in the blue IS200. He got 9th outright out of I think 114 cars with 22.04 and 264kmph. Also my mate in the burgundy supra. He got i think about 5th or 6th outright with 21.6 and 270.9. Both obviously very quick cars. I should have had my car there but my work couldnt guarantee me the time off until it was too late to get an entry spot. Soooo painful watching everyone else have a go!

Tim.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
