Big thanks again to Mike and the execs for today

No dramas on the way home? looked nastier than what it was i think.

Yeah, hose was up high and on the outlet of the engine, just after the thermostat, so the engine stayed full enough I think.

Looking at replacing all my hoses now, anyone know anything about silicon radiator hoses? are they stronger or just more flashy?

Thanks to Mike and all the team at SauQld a great morning was had. Great to have the extra time as well. Am going to upload a quick clip to YouTube of 88RDY hitting the rev limiter, you will see the outcome soon.

Awesome air this morning big shout out to Mike for as always making today happen. Was great would luv to run the full track next time!

Glad we could fly the skyline flag in the sea of Evo's ;)

Ants could defo smell your brakes and about 16 more sets out there that were on fire! Spoke to the guy with the yellow Evo on e85 and he said he was full outa brakes at one stage with his street pads in there. That Evo was fast......

Cheers

That is a fast 34 and the screamer was crazy loud!

Glad to hear it seems no damage done... You were really hooking through the dipper I had a massive smile on my face seeing and hearing you give it the beans through there ;)

From what I can gather the silicon hoses are stronger and less prone to failure than the normal style hoses.....

No worries, unfortunately unless we get 100 people they don't let you have the national circuit.

Mine were smoking when I came off, was a good 50 minutes.

Great day was had! Thanks to Mike etc. for organising it and everyone that came along. Was pretty happy for my first track event, Pinky didn't let me down :P Huge thanks to Martin for coming out with me because I was being a pansy before I actually got into it :P

so we will need the skyline,evos and vr4 clubs and anyone else that can make it,big ask,we have got a good group of skylines and evos at the moment,sometimes more isnt better,theres nothing wrong with the short tracks imoa,gives us slower cars a chance,lol.

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
