Just received a call from the tech inspector who said he will check my car at the track 8 to 9am so all go. Also tinkered on the dyno with cam gears and more yesterday and now makes 384rwkw 23psi and 200rwkw at 3400rpm. Car weighs a bit over 1400kg estimated and has 4.4 ratio diff and running 305 wide slicks, circuit racing type so not best and will be the handicap.

Get it out of the hole okay and you're a shoe-in for 11's, Johnny! Underestimate straightlining and you're a shoe-in for 14's !! ;)

384 is nice and all but for me the best bit is the 200kw a 3400rpm, that is some serious low down power... Nice work John.

Wow with that amount of power surely you'd be able to make a bold statement or two? That's way more power than any of us are making, and a better ratio than the 4.11's the 'Lines are using.

I'm up for a grudge match in my humble little standard GTS, I'll go as far to say 2 out of 3 races I'll have ya!

If it rains and the event is cancelled we'll be given the next available Saturday wsid has ;) but it wont rain

fcuk you drag boyz are soft, everyone knows the track is most fun when it is wet!

FFS Pete used to do rain dances before track days!

WTF is wrong with you people?

I am a bloody goose and the only person who mentioned the date!!!

Grrr!!!

just out of curiousity what is the average power for those who are attending tomorrow's event???

Ummm no.................

stuff it hahaha if anyones thinking of coming to watch, race, run nude, cheer or make love to me they wont be allowed in unless they're racing or pit crew of someone thats racing and on the list that will be at the gate ie not on list no entry as they're allowing no spectators

and BTW lets be clear the bretts not being the bastard here, he has been given *very* clear instructions from the track :D if we can make this day a success we may be allowed to have more club members along this time

Well, all incidents aside that was a bloody awesome day.

I can't wait for the next one.... a million thanks to Brett the Buster the man for organising it.

How'd the results go?

I only ran twice, 12.9 sec and 12.5 sec, didnt get the chance to strip the car out or even put the boost up before trouble struck. Also drove the red RX7 to 13.1 sec :D

Well this was the first time I've dressed in drag and you know I've been on the right track before, excuse the pun Dino. At the moment the mighty stock green machine is awaiting diagnosis so watch this space could be major could be minor but I never like to take a chance on these things.

I went, I had fun smacking all these Skylines. Did not even think of falling asleep it was actually fun. Not as much as 2rismo though he was on fire. First time for me. Shot my mouth off, educated experienced to some extent might add.saying " Should do a 11 sec " Missed first run did a 12.18 wheel spinning all the way. Later did a 11.56 130mph. They say this is fast but I don't know. I think 10 seconds is where it is at. It was faster than all the Skylines though or should I not mention this, he he.

Word is next big show down is Wed night drags 10th Nov. Going to be a big Zed turnout so plenty of contenders. Lets do a Zed Skyline Challenge this night? Yes I will be there with the slot car with a few more tweaks. Maybe get some of the big guns out. Any GTR's that beat me can turn off there front wheel drive and we party and see. No not fair, OK we run anyway.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
