Willowbank 16th And Streetcar Shootout 19th?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Taking blacky out on wed night for some final shakedown passes before its first even at streetcar shootout on saturday....

Neone else going out...

Gearbox should be sorted, so fingers crossed it may carck an 11.

See yous there.

Hi Mate

yeah

Im there on weds getting some practise. also going for some low 11s.

i have some dead street rubber tho, so we'll see. im sure no traction will be an issue for me.

I presume you are in the All in 4,6,8 rotary DYO Street Class at the StreetCar Shootout?

hopefully we should line up against eachother on weds and have a larf.

thanks

Mick

Haven't been to one for  a while might give it a try I am still a 1/4 mile virgin

Well then, no better person than Mick to give you a raping for your first time.

Just remember, dump the clutch on the last orange light....that's the one just before the green. This should give you a good reaction time.

And when you think you have crossed the finish, keep going for a bit....the track is a lot longer than you think and when you think you are finished you usually still have 100m to go.

i will probably be heading out

as i just got my power fc in and put the boost up to 10psi

im guessing its going to be fairly busy, considering the shootout on saturday. last quarter run was 14.3, skidded all first

i want to let the tyres down abit but i dont really want to drive on 25 psi to the next petrol station. As i just got the tyres last week

it might not matter but oh well, i'll just have to try and control not skiddin as much at the start.

Good to see a couple of skylines headin out though, last ones i been too there has been a shitload of commodores and fords.

Ya kinda guess it though being in ipswich.

Anyway see yas there, hope yas pull some good times.

hehe ive driven to the closest petrol station on 14psi before.... 25 wont be a problem....

hay jhon what to meet up and drive down

Today or saturday??

I still have some last minute things to finish off on the car, then i have to throw it on the trailer so im not sure what time ill be leaving this arvo.

Ill probably be leaving around 6-630ish on saturday morning.

i might have to look into gettin one of those compressors

could come pretty handy later on

I left my tyres alone tonight

ended up doing a 14.089

reaction .654

mph 101.69

60ft time was 2.246

f**ked the start abit didnt have much revs .

and also let third rev out a little too long.

thought it was alright though.

getting closer to getting into the 13's

hmmmm well i had an interesting night.... didnt get out till like 7:15...

Did a half powerr lass to make sure it was gonna change gears... next pass i stalled it up and it skipped foward through the beams on the front runners.... Never driven with them before... Then it managed a reasonably clean 12.2@112mph... gearbox is shifting unreal.... really happy with that.... just got look at being super consistant now.

nice well done.

i didnt have much chance to come say hi - i had sme small probs etc.

i saw a little burnout from you etc.

i ran a 11.91 @ 118.89mph lots of traction loss etc wasnt a full flat stick run.

but on other runs was having probs cog swapping...

need to change gearbox oil today/tomorow for sat.

got stuck in 2nd gear! :D

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
