We hear of many Big HP street machines on these Forums claiming mega RWK etc...... Why not seperate the Men & Women from the Boys & Girls. Last night I witnessed 2 skylines both R32 GTR both claiming similar power 300RWK Plus. The results were devastating for one of them!

Any High Power skyliners out their interested in a Tues night cruise.... unleashing some Skyline Terror midweek!

Potential times & Place that will attract the right calibre of Skyline 200RWK+ ??????

Ed just bring your pet snake and I'm sure car jacking wont be a problem.....

There are some serious street machines out there from both North & West, Im not a regular at these sort of meets so I leave the option open for a street meet with the regulars.

Cruise to Gong Maybe, heaps of road to unleash those RWK and no weekend warriors to contend with, purely enthusiasts!

Meet LaParouse?,Harbour Bridge?, Cronulla?..........

Duncan, the driver is just as important as the Car....... this isnt about comparing Mines Bigger than yours, its about the way you use it!

You may have a Big HP street car that runs fast 1/4 mile times, but if you haven't got the Balls to drive it 10/10ths whats the point.

If you tell me youve got 350RWK on Elf racing Fuel and run 10's with slicks thats great...... Were talking daily drivers on Pump fuel turn key & head interstate without a concern.

Take it to a trackday then, safe, legal and no cops.

Times will show how good a driver you are.

10/10ths is for the track.

8/10ths is for the street.

Hey, I think Duncan meant circuit racing at the Creek with street cars , street tyres & pump fuel. If you feel like a challange, come down to the Oran Park track day, see the thread in the NSW Event section.

SAU does not condone any form of illegal street racing.

Thank you ,

:werd: x eleventy billion.

Good to see we have aroused some emotion on this thread....

Ed if you want to compare driver skill and the size of your Kahunas, then I suggest Go-Kart racing (Rotax 125 series)..... same machine,only driver skill makes the difference.

Duncan has a valid point about the stopwatch does'nt lie, we would all like to know who the Big players are so we can learn from their level of Mods.

If a track day attracts this level of enthusiam then so be it..... Eastern Creek over Oran park any day!

But until then lets play Ball at 8/10ths Ed! There are some Keen Skylines outhere Im sure.

Dumb question but what do u actually do at a track day ?

Is it just you skyline guys or are their a 100 other sorts of cars ?

Are you free to just cut laps as you please or do you have a certain time period etc ?

I'd love to go to a track day just so that i can work out the limits of my car on a wide open circuit without the worry of cops or other cars.

no worries how about your skyline against my N/A 2.0 car @ wakefield?

I wouldn't expect to beat you but sure as hell expect to be within 2secs behind your lap times.

Up for it? Gauntlet has been laid. :D

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
