If the weather is kind (sposed to be a few showers) I'll most likely drop down to spectate for the afternoon.

will be on my way home from the A.C.T.so i want to call in and do some testing.Having probs with spark and/or plugs think i might have to invest in some splitfire coils.Had an embarrasing sit at autosalon on dyno as plugs were incorrect and they gave me 5mins to change them on the dyno still probs but made 357kw.was leading comp but supra owner and friend daniel decided to have another go and did me by 8kw.Gapped them down at jakes perf.in canberra and made 380kw.so if weather is ok we will see how we run.

Pretty average day really, hardly any spectators and nowhere near as many competitors as I expected. Hopefully it's not like this every Saturday otherwise I think I might have to compete again and do 8 laps like most of the other cars :)

Yeah i got there about 12 and i couldnt believe the small numbers!!

I thought about going home and getting my car and i reckoni would have got atleast 8 runs in.

In the last hour i counted one car go thru 5 times!

There was a beautiful R32 GTR there which did 12's all day, I suspect is was a lady driving as well.

Adrian i saw your beast in the carpark, how come you didnt run?

Also what happened to your mates STi on his last run (18sec)?

That would have been Stace's (first post of this thread).

Looked like 2nd was causing some grief but 12.5's all day i'd be quite happy with :)

Waiting for new rubber :)

Missed 3rd gear. The 6 speed is really close between shifts and he routinely misses gears. We stripped out all the excess shit in his car, (spare wheel, mats, tools, cd's etc), and fitted the bleed valve, set the boost to 1.2bar and he went 12.7 then 12.6. Not bad considering it's only got minimal mods. FMIC, Exhaust, Springs, Pod. Was fun watching the Defi boost guage play the run back :rant:

Benm, I don't think Stace was happy with 12.5's :)

yeh, managed a best of 12.3. Did 9 runs had excellent fun, not as scared any more. Just couldnt seem to get the power down and the gear changes quick enough. Constantly did 12's (12.7,12.5,12.5,12.6,12.4,13.6,12.3,13.0), except when I missed a gear and went from 2nd to 5th.......13.6, and still won!!). Need to get spiltfire coils as the spark was blowing out and I had to reduce the boost down to 1.5 bar. Need to learn how to do a burnout so I can get the tyres hotter, as I had some wheel spin off the line. Maybe setup a switch to turn the fronts off. Bit embarrasing as I was the only car all day not doing a burnout . Car sounds different now with no muffler (like a 13B, poor me!!).

I was the only car all day not doing a burnout

But you're just a chick :rant: Try stuffing burnouts up when you're a bloke :)

ROFL!!!

Now I know how to do them properly I wave to the officials and the camera guys while I'm doing them :)

    • Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov    
    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
