Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone is heading up this year for Final Battle. I'm heading up tomorrow morning and if anyone else is planning to, then we could cruise up as a group or whatever.

Cheers,

Nath

As posted on the CC forums : Got home this afternoon after a long weekend up in Sydney. Headed up on Saturday at 7am. Went to Autosalon both days and was really awesome this year. Got in free cause work deals with the major sponsors for it so that was a plus.

Fewer cars than last year but quality has definately increased. Was well set out this year too, but lacking beatboxing/breakdancing that I really enjoyed last year. Next year will play host to modified late-model motorcycles, plus ATV's and the like, also motocross as well; which should make it a bit different for next year.

Saw Erica's beast and highly approve, is one nice subie. Also watched Stacey's DirtGarage 32 GTR on the Dyno.

As for the dyno, Nasa's black Supra built by Millenium Motorsport took out 1st in the dyno comp, pulling 610.2 rwkw. BOOBE Supra pulled 503 rwkw. A decent 355 stroker VR ute with a T51R pulled 544 rwkw. Daniel's gold ESP racing Supra managed about 470rwkw at best, he popped an intercooler pipe off on one of his first runs but had it fixed shortly after.

Took about 350 pictures and videos and will try to post them up soon.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
