Yes the slot car and full UAS team will be at this one. Zed is sorted with small rear brakes and drag semi slicks and they fit up etc. Wheel alignment today and a tune tonight after some more incentives. I figure when I do a ten and get thrown out until I get a full cage may as well boot it over the line. 10.5 sounds the go.

Anyway anyone else up for it. Or come watch the boat break or enter the hall of fame.

BF Goodrich Comp TA Street Radials 275 50 15 bubble gum tyres with ballony side walls. Had to do a lot of mods with custom rear brakes and long studs etc to fit them. Set it up for easy transition back to circuit or drift though.

Got the line locker and yes did a test behind our dyno room and works well. Yes you have shown me the way with the burnout thing. Hard to get rid of the circuit raing hat and looking after the car syndrome.

Had to lose the little purse and lippy that Paul gave me and was hanging off the key ring of the Commodore. The wife and kids were really getting worried so a souveneer on the shelf now. Wonder what I get when I do a ten?

Im thinking I might say something nasty about the boat, tell everyone that Im coming and then pull a heartstring and not turn up. Dont send excuses send time slips!

I dont think I will come this week, I have had my 13 sec of fun and I might do one more once the Mods are done.

Found something interesting about my car zorst on Sat.

Std Dumps ->- I had a 3" Apexi front pipe - >-a 2.5" cat ->- 3.5" high flow race exhaust.

Those crazy japs

I have since replace the 2.5" cat with a 3" 7.5lt cat and a small piece of pipe to a 3" straight through muffler/resonator and left the back half of the 3.5" race exhaust. The car dropped about 5-8db and I picked up a little bit of mid range.

At least I can use the phone in the car now, and even hear myself think.

Got the lap top working Paul and tuned her up on 109 fuel 407.5 rwkw.T Was able to add a bit more timing but not a lot more power up around 7 rwkw. The main problem is the actuators are not strong enough and blow open and will only hold 23 psi. This may sound like a lot for some but the engine can handle much more, and the turbo's could flow a bit more if boost was able to increase.

The best bit is it makes 760nm at only 4400rpm and torque does not drop bad like some, 200rwkw around 3400 rpm and makes 24psi around 4300rpm.

The power does not drop off much high in the revs and keeps going to 7500rpm and will go more. It has such a huge rpm power ban even better than we expected. From 3400pm to make 200rwkw up to 7500rpm.

Great for circuit, drags or drift, won't mention what it would be like on the road. No need to do big launch at drags tomorrow night, just a few revs and floor it.

No exotic turbo's and manifolds with external gates, and only reground factory cams. Just flows smooth and has the right mix of bits.

I'm not going to be able to make it (again) due to work....... farkit !

I installed softer rear suspension and got rid of the HICAS, got wheel alingnment - so nearly there.

I just got to line up a tune and get the ability to get out there.

Really, I am trying - but shit happens.......

10.894 130.85mph 60foot 1.690 this was late in the night got the tryre pressure and suspension setting right almost out of fuel did a crap burn out Adrian you would have laughed, as got the line lock button on off all wrong, your fault for programming me with that one, did an OK 60 foot and still did a 10.8. the next run did a 1.597 60 foot but missed second gear change bad so pulled out of it. Then ran out fo night and fuel. More in it but now roll cage time before they let me back.

Did the BIG WWW.SKYLINESAUSTRALIA.COM sticker on the back proud.

      Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.

      On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.

      The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
