driver training day (drift)oran park Sunday Feb 27th


Recommended Posts

The whistle is the hidden aftermarket HKS turbo, that's why the damn thing was all over my arse most of the afternoon :)

Gotta love my 225 street rubber with 100+ laps of circuit driving, 30 drag runs and 35,000km. Yup due for a tyre change :)

Hehe... a couple more cm in the tyre width and about 100% more thread on the tyres and you'd be killing me.

Yeah while you were MIA a while back they broke into my garage and stole my stock GTT rims. They weren't on the car at the time though. Still, it sucks having to buy something you already had.

What wheels were they on your car last Thursday? They looked nice... Keep them!

Someone say cheaterer tyres ??  

 

I've got some for $2200 ono - plus they come with a set of Buddy Club P1's :) :)

 

Check the sig.

igor, buy these and reunite them with the car :D happy to give you some tips one day

:cheers: classic thread, sorry I missed the day :(

BTW SAU are running a track day on 19 March at Wakefield :D Should be a great weekend

Yeah thats the one, SAU NSW and the Rotary club are going halves in the day :cheers:

And lets not forget some beers the night before. Pete won't come because he's afraid of beer :D

Yeah, I assume Tosh will be posting up details in the next few days, numbers will be limited to 15 I think so better get in early :cheers: $140 for club members I think

awesome

 

can you let me know the details of that day, in terms of payment etc ?

Perhaps pm me. Im keen to go again, but to a track with a slightly longer straight :D

 

My top speed was only 176 km/hr on sunday :cheers:

What are you whinging about? I only hit 160. That is if the speedo is working fine. As per the semi-slicks... Well, when I'm rich and famous I ll get those. I'll think about Wakefield, doesn't look like it at the moment.

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
