John, Chris dont worry i found one for you just like Ash's : straw hat

BTW Chris congrates on the 66.91. I've been kicking myself over where i could have found 1.3s on that last lap......hold it flat over the finish line maybe :woot:

lol :D

Did you have the semi's on still in the arvo after i left?

Spewing i went home early with a 67.2 - getting close to the 66 marker which seems to be "the spot" for street tyres.

hmm, no after I realised the semis put me into 'modified' class i frantically put the ku36's back on, missed one session doing this and then had one final lap to try and beat Chris's 66. Turns out even my best semis time wasnt good enough regardless and doubt i could have got there even if i had stayed on the KU's . Seems i have been watching too much Mark Webber and his tyre strategies are rubbing off on me!

still it was great a great tussle with Chris on the day an i enjoyed the competition. theres always next year.....

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
