Hey Guys,

I am heading over, and would like to catch you guys after dinner if I can, not that I don't eat - but I'll only get to Canberra around 9. Are you guys going to be cruising around or be anywhere I can find?

Hi Anthony,

We will probably still be sitting at the restaurant outside, youre welcome to come along and say hi. In the middle of braddon theres a mobil service station that will be closed, the restaurant is on the corner opposite of that :D

i'll be coming out, but just to get out. i won't be cruising around. i remember last year and lonsdale st didn't move. i might drop by and see how you guys are going. the nats was awesome today, but i'm so over falcodores

good catching up again sorry couldnt hang around i am just buggered and going to the nats tomorrow so figured i will see most of the cars then anyways. i forget who jayce said owned the purple 33 gtr but mmmmmmmm nice ride :D also the blue r33 gts-t with the stealth wing was sexy too

Jayce - Champion mate. Top turn out guy's although felt real soft not taking the Lines into Braddon :Oops: . Shamed by the two newest lines comming out and ours garaged - wtf were we thinking fellas.

The meal was real good and the company great.

Shut down at 9pm was a poor effort by the boyz in blue seeing everyone was well behaved.

Nugget - I think it was your line. Best burnout for the entire evening by a long shot. I dont remember any one else even attempting. Top effort. :D

haha it was nugget???? AWESOME!!!!!!!! simply fantastic effort, looked good all the way.

is it just me or is there something awefully sexy about a worked GTR standing almost still, yet somehow sideways with an assload of smoke pouring out the back? funny thing was that the subtle wind was blowing our way, and we didnt get the smoke or the smell till about 2minutes after, sort of like a lovely aftertaste lol.

Haha thanx for the complements which burn out was this? i did a couple :)

i love turning the car off while running and it stays in rwd till you come to a complete stop. tell you what i didnt see under the hood of sly32 but damn looks very nice... i love the cooler!! hey did anyone see crankd at the nats that was one beast looking line.

THANKS to all the guys and girls that made my mate and myself feel welcomed. It was a great night and enjoyed every moment. Some very nice rides :(

Hope to see ya all again, and a few more, when we organize a 2 state meet up at Albury/Woodonga. This is a 3 and a half hour drive for both states, so it will be a weekend'er, with alot of entertainment and possibly a track day at Winton. I will do a little background work, then get in touch with Jayson and Richard.

Wayne: That site i told you about: http://www.nengun.com/

The Nats was a blast and i will hopefully be coming up again next year.

C ya

Alan

    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses. 
    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
