Golgo did a 12.9 with slipping clutch (single plate) in 1st and 2nd. Oh... and Sam was driving. My best time is a 13.0.

Ran 190awkw on Sunday - but was not going for high power - just wanted some fire :)

The car has an exhaust, pods and PFC - so pretty stock. Plus Leewah makes everything look underpowered. Nigel (Ice Perf) noted recently that the crank-angle sensor is way off tune (from before I owned the car). A set of cam-gears, a new clutch and a 'from scratch' tune should see some higher figures.

Not that I really care - still goes pretty darn quick when I need it too :)

Thanks for your concern though.

Oh - and Golgo is a guy, not a girl :D

Yeah - I was told I had cam gears (even have a reciept for them) yet had not had a chance (until very recently) to pull the cover off and take a peek. Seems that the dealer or previous owner may have removed them and not set the CAS up properly. Has more top-end than it should though.

AF ratio is OK - but O2 sensors are f*cked and as such the car has fuel economy on par with an ocean-liner.

Also - the dyno was set to run up to 200km/h - and my car peaks in 4th around 230/240km/h. But... no excuses to be made, the car simply is not as powerful as some other GTRs, and was never intended to be. It is driven and enjoyed every day, washed at least once a week - and makes a fabulous cruiser. All the while looking pretty pimp and blowing some nice flames :D

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?

      Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
