Yeah, it will be interesting to see how it goes, traction is going to be a problem, but i want to run on my street tyres. I haven't run my car with the new motor, last time i ran with the RB20 and 190rwkw it ran 12.9 @ 117mph, hope to improve on that time a fair bit.

hehe u wish Pawley .... no breakfast, but we can mini-cruise out there if anyone wants. We'll be leaving my place at around 9:30am, so anyone who knows where I live, you are invited :(

brekkie at nuskie's?

So you're coming?

WICKED, WICKED!

sky30, be interested to see your car run.

You say you ran 117mph with 190rwkw?

That mph seems VERY high for the power, a typo maybe? (107mph?)

If not, maybe the power figure is low. (all this assumes your car is std weight.)

Anyway, on street tyres, we're definitely in for a show with your new power figure.

I've seen a few guys try to get that kind of power off the line on street tyres, and it's not easy.

Best of luck, and we'll catch you tomorrow!

I could only manage 12.4 @ 120mph, no traction untill 4th gear. As i thought wheelspin was a major problem, some better tyres and rear shockers will help next time.

Chops:- The Rb20 ran consistant 116-117mph passes, it had better top end revs than my Rb30.

Hi there sky30!

Saw you running yesterday, but didn't get a chance to come say G'day!

Car looks nice mate.

Your mph is up there, and with more traction 11s are calling.

What sort of 60's were you running. We all commented that it was hard for you to get it off the line cleanly.

Look forward to hearing about the improvement.

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
