bj,

Here is my new car.

Cheers

My GTR

looks good mate.

hope the weather imporves for traction tomorrow or it might be a little interesting for half the field :P

Liquid horsepower YEAH

Was a good day from what I saw. I only stayed til lunch but at that stage the black evo was in front. Who won it in the end?

I was in a nismo jacket if anyone saw me. Next time you see me, say hello :O

Saw you and the car :)

Didn't get a chance to say howdy as i was kinda sidetracked.

Hope all the boys that went in it (LUCKY BUGGERS) had a good day and tahnks for putting on abit of a show.

Forgot the mention that i was proud of the "Skyline" entries there.

Bart, loved seeing you come off the last couple of corners mate, glad you put that suspension to good use.

Stuart, LOVED the 7000RPM launch's off the start line.

Omar, you have a FulliSik (brand of his exhaust so im told :) ) sounding skyline mate and good to see your not affraid to throw it around.

I wont comment on Choppings car as im not really a fan <_<

Was great to see a large variety of cars out there having a go.

Really bummed that i didn't get in on the action myself but if i can get a cage and a few other little bits a peices at a good price then maybe we can look at a TEAM thing for the next one or Collinsvale???

Cheers B

yeah the GTR launch off the line was awesome :)

The black 31 sounded pretty damn tough and he was gunning it from what I saw. What mods did that have?

Still don't know who won? A mate of mine, Andrew Robinson, was driving the Golf GTI and came 4th outright I think. That thing goes pretty hard and he is a good driver. I think he mentioned he was within 4 tenths of the gtr. pretty good effort.

So who won?

On my final and fastest run I actually launched at 8000! the surface wasn't that grippy so I didn't think it would hurt anything too much.

Not having run there before, I thought the course was suprisingly tight. Conrats to Leigh in the Evo.

    • Nah, apparently the way to do it is just mess with how much timing the engine uses to try to correct idle. So it massively undershoots, then overshoots, then undershoots, then overshoots. So timing is going from 5deg to 45deg to 5 deg to 45deg. But I kinda prefer the car to not lurch around and have a dependable idle. Given it didn't idle for shit and stalled about 7 times on the way home, still yet to drive it for the 2nd time to see if it's fixed.
    • Best chop idle FTW, just add an idle timing hole lol
    • Alright. Many little things have been sorted and the car successfully drove home with an incredibly huge exhaust leak. Unsure if it's simply been awhile, but new heads and cam and intake sound f**kin awesome. It might only be me that notices it though, and it's hard to tell from a 15 minute gauntlet run home and attempting to bleed the radiator. Undertrays on, tools out, road brake pads in, idle un-f***ed, time to do some road tuning. From my commute around town it sounds and drives *really* nice (with a max of like 35% throttle). It'll go to a dyno for a proper before and after once the tune is more roughly dialled in. And @Dose Pipe Sutututu I did learn how to do a proper chop tune at idle. I did indeed even do it, but the car shaking around at idle from the driverr seat made me make it smooth again.. I feared for my engine mounts and clerances to engine bay jank. . After the exhaust is fixed I may mess around with it more. I'm just happy to have it drive around without bucking or stalling which is a WIP.
    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
