Hey Crew,

as an honorary non skyline new member of TEAM WANG (very stoked) I thought I had better get on board the forums. Thanks to all for a mad weekend. Thanks also for draggin me kicking and screaming off the wagon :hellpisd: ...oh and thanks for not drinking my light beers...... Was a great day at the track and an epic night out. You are a mad bunch of bad eggs!!!! :)

Thanks again for making a non skyliner so welcome. Looking forward to the next mission.

Cheers,

Blaise

It's called 'Retox' Blaise :)

Come to the meeting tomorrow night (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=69618) and I'll give you any pix of your car in hi-res. Hopefully Chris will bring the video too :)

Hey Blaise,

Well done on your mighty fine track times. I just had a thought... I noticed when I left Benalia that you were running street rubber on your car. Is that right?

If so, then 1:36's and 2nd top lap time for the day is an incredible effort!! (James/Snowy did either of you two spot Blaise cutting across the grass??)

Blaise - I must say you fit in perfect with us so you are a welcome addition. We already have a TX5 member of Team Wang so we ain't carist.

Am thinking now we may have to include Morwell in the championship just for the weekend away. We'll all go spend some time with Emre and the tripplets!

Dave,

I wish I could say it was street rubber, but was RE-55 semis. Drive up on my street rubber and change at the track. Still, happy with the times, and happy to be able to drive the car home. Good performance for your first day out with a tiptronic equipped car on street rubber. Have to make sure you stay for the main event next time. Was a pretty rawkus night..... Always a good sign when you are struggling to decide if you had more fun on or off the track...

And thanks James. Suitably "retoxed" and checking back into the clinic as we speak. Hopefully they let me out in time for the next one :)

As per most of the previous posts....GREAT WEEKEND LADS :)

The track day was awesome (as you can tell from my tyres) and the company was even better.....big thanks to everyone who made it a great boyz (yes that includes you Bec!) weekend away :rofl:

Heres some pics from the track and Blaise - I have you on a snippit of digi film from Sat night if you want a copy!!

PS Thanks goes to Al for the shots while I was on the track :)

Tom/Dave/etc etc if you want the original hi-res versions just PM me with a suitable email address.

ROFL...the boy has skills, and the warface looks appropiatley punch drunk.

Im up for the weekend away to Morwell, but car is off the road for a few weeks, brakes, cams, radiator, new shocks, RE55s and paint. The car is going to sing at Sandown, which is a good thing as im going to have to sing for the bank manager:(

Damn!!!! Spewing I missed this one, but it was the miss' birthday on Saturday....

Definetly coming to the next one!!

Must say bad luck to Archie, I've been in the exact same position, even at the same track!!! Oh well, let Ben freshen up the motor and it will last forever!!! Also congrats on the time, looks like u were doing really well!!!!!

Yep, had an awesome time at Winton and i won't be forgetting that experience in a hurry. Powering through corners with the wheels screeching hoping that they won't let go and then finally applying more throtle to get the fronts engaging and get the car pointing straight and shooting off like a slingshot was like a drug, so addictive :)

Fun came to end though when the engine decided it didn't like this anymore, but oh well, sh1t happens. Will have to sit it out for a while to decide what i want to do and when i want to do it by.

Big thanks to Troy for helping me get set up (as i was running late) and be able to get on the track for the first session, not to mention for borrowing a few tools too :cheers: And big thanks to all for helping push the car onto the trailer :)

Jack

Hehehe yeah winton took this rb26 scalp too...lets hope there isn't gonna be anymore :)

Scotsman and Snowy great battle and thanks for all your advice during the day. Certainly helped me improve my lap times a lot quicker than what i otherwise would of.

Nice to have met everyone but sorry i didn't get much of a chance to chat. Will have to make up for it at the next track day - minus car of course :)

I jumped out of the shower this morning to find that im covered in bruises…Lesson learnt?

Never mess with a Maltese giant with a head full of beer, or a manic ex-president wearing khaki pants:)

PS… I need a new avatar, so if no-one has a photo of my new bonnet sticker, then I may have to use the fight club pic:)

Archie...not wanting to scare monger or drum up bad memories :)

But when you get your engine stripped and you suss out what the failure was, it will be interesting to hear if SBS has struck Vic.

You guys seem to be impervious to some of the dramas that NSW GTR boys fall victim to....Jack was a pistion i believe, but it will be interesting to hear if yours was a bottom end, and whether it was from oil starvation :confused: ...whether you can tell such a thing when stripping an engine?

Could just be an age, tune/luck thing...you did say it was pinging a little, but it may help stack evidence re SBS one way or another.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
