What's happening on sunday? And what's this got to do with me?

You're the one that said that there's "no such thing as Z power" and that you have "never copped a whooping befor[e]"

So you've never driven at Wakefield before... How much circuit racing experience do you have? :D

Now Merli dont scare them off too hard. Sounds like beer talk though. It is only a zed after all. Blitz Why don't you show get your GTR out and waste the zed????

Sorry to hear Duncan won't be out there, can't wait though will be big. By the way 107.7 last at Wakefield.

We are currently doing lots of mods to it, things that will drop times. Motor not in the car yet but will be next week. By the way I need another mechanic, good one if anyone knows of any, email or call direct.

Roy you will get in plenty of ten minute sessions as it will be almost non stop all day, with a drift session in the middle for half an hour.

There is a case of Beer or V for any GTR or GTS-T that can beat the zed on the day, as well as a trophy. And a full admission on SAU and the ZEd forum that I got wooped by a Skyline. Even a handicap for tyres. Road tyres 2 secs semi slicks 1 sec. I will be running very second hand slicks.

I will be having a V early in the day ( my third in my life ) SHWING, so I don't want to here any excuses about this. I estimate half a second improve in every bottle. But double the dose NOT double the benefit unless it is drift contest. Yes Blitz it works on old guys too.

Wreckedhead has my full support :D As if I'd back any silly Zed over a GTR, no matter how many cheating additions you have on your boat :D

Let's hope John can get that motor in the zed, get it all wired up etc in time for this day. I haven't seen it for a 2 weeks but last time I did - it was on bits - major bits.

I've never done wakefield, are there any straights ??? I might come down and let the fat zed overtake (or lap) me just before the straight, then go past it on the straight for the photographers :D :D

hey wreckhead, check the last HPI for its specs from about 12 months ago.

IMHO 107.7 is fairly quick. I reckon you will be around 1.14s, or if you haven't been on a circuit before I'm guessing you'll end up deeeep in kitty litter at turn 2....but you can always prove me wrong :rant:

B-man, its only got a little straight....you need to take it on at Eastern Creek

it probably does go beter that my nugget, but that nugget is long gone, and king of the road had taken over, ive never actually raced my car on a curcuit befor, and i dont think its set up for racing casue of to much turbo lag, but its ok its all good and fun.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.

      In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      This. I'm confused by the whole discussion. The only reason you would have a car with e85 only if it was track use and you only ever used e85. All other use cases you add a flex fuel sensor, do the flex tune (you only need to do a couple of % and then interpolate the rest) and then you put whatever the hell you feel like including a mix in the tank and it just works. Want a long drive? fill with 98 Want max zoom? fill with e85 Got a half tank of 98 then find e85 somewhere? Throw it in.
