RUNAMUCK

weld your diff, or I'll weld you mum!

Who's up for a trip up to the Kaikoura go-kart track? I reckon we do a mish up there one saturday. PLus to make it even more fun we should travel via the inland route. (It's heaps further, but the road has fuck all traffic, and a great mix of hills, twisty turnys, and long straights. Respond here if your K33n. Also, if you're not keen, or it's too far away and you can't afford gas, or your mum wont let you take her car that far away, or you wanna say "Oh, lets do a shorter cruise somewhere nearer, then don't post here. Start your own thread.

The Coolingmist pumps are high pressure, and their seals are designed to cope with the presence of methanol on the media being injected. Methanol is real good at fucking inferior types of rubber. The secret to a good system is having a high pressure pump. Then it can be injected post compressor, and nice and close to the port. (Less distance traveled means less of the droplets can dropmout of suspention. The nother plus of higher delivery pressures is that the atomiser nozzle(s) can create finer droplets. The finer the droplets, (And the more of them there are) the better the heat soaking effect (And therefore the dentonation suppressing effect) will be. Here is their website http://www.coolingmist.com/ When I get an elusive round tuit, I'm going to buy some of the parts for a kit off that coolingmist mob. Then I'll source the rest of what I need locally. The RSR webiste reckons that an engine needs 170cc per minute to suport 300HP. Using that number as a baseline, it wouldn't be hard to work out how many cc's an engine would need for a given power figure. But rather than one nozzle for the whole kit, I'd make my own nozzles, and use the jets from a nitrous oxide injection nozzle as the metering orifaces. Then I'm just going to do a simple test where I'd sit a beaker on a digital scale, and see how many grams of water a given oriface could pass per minute. Times that by 4. Then set up one nozzle/jet per cylinder, with the jets pointing directly at the port. (Either with a mounting boss TIG'd into the opposite wall of the plenium chamber, or into the side of the runner wall, depending on the manifold/runner configuration. The only real area that I can see where an error might occour, would be that with the nozzles passing their media into the beaker on the scale, they may pass slightly more liquid, than when they're injecting into the plenium/runner which may have an atmoshere of say 14.7-20+ PSI. That said also, with pump pressures getting up into the 200psi range with their pumps, A few extra CC's in the jetting baseline should be enough to more than adequately compensate. Plus as 50% of whats being injected will basicly be a fuel source, (methanol) the tiny bit of xtra enrichment shouldn't any hard at all.

Here is a very worthwhile link. http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/waterinjection.html Lots of info there, but their kits are mega expensive. You can get the parts to build your own kit much cheaper off ebay. I did find a link somewhere to a site where you could buy the parts quite cheap, but I can't find it atm.

I second (or third?) leppa and CUl8er. Both epic GC's who would do justice to the role.

I would respectfully decline the nomination.

It was most pleasant to meet up with you cunts and have a beer/talk smack for an hour or so. All we need now is an area rep who reps.

Reading "how to modify ford S.O.H.C engines" by David Vizard last night. He quoted a guy from Lynx in aussie as saying that they've found better lower mid range power with the dellortos. and well as a few more peak HP as well.

Having a carb throat per cylinder enables streetable characteristics even with a bigger cam. Due to there being less vaccuum signal degredation as the low rpm exhuast gas reversion can't corrupt the vaccuum signal for any of the other cylinders.

Graham and I attended the meeting last night. The NZDRA fellows had their say. MUCH of what they said was scaremongering. They did however raise some valid points that do warrant further consideration. It was asked of those in atttendance, "who here will still continue to support the NZDRA?" I think it's a premature question untill people have more information. (I certainly wasn't the only one there who felt that)

Absolutely! Then we can get on the hammer afterwards if we feel it's warranted.

I'm dead keen to do another trip up to the go-kart track again. Only this time via the inland route. Best roads ever.

Okay, sounds like we got enuff OS mofo's keen to call it a meat. Best you fullus tell any of your os mates that we're having a meet, and maybe they'll come too. Looking at you dave to tell Dan, and the other thirsty thursday crew. (don't know If I'll be there this week) I'll tell the other OS'ers who may be on the datsun cruise earlier in the day. We owe it to ourselves to ratchet our OS activities up a notch or two. After doing the nats thing, it's the least we can do.

20 years ago I read in street machine magazine (regarding 6 pack hemi 6's) that dellorto's stayed in tune better than webers. That said another fuckwit I once met said that "webers are a race carb, and dellorto's are a street carb". and now you all know just as much as me on the issue. (Sweet fuck all)

Thats the best news ever! None of my fleet of vehicles meet the criteria to need a cat fitted. I was all worried about that, but now I'm all beaming and high fiving all round!

Thanks for the heads up kind sir! That would have been a fuck up.

I'm going to throw down a suggestion for this meet up! How does everyone feel about this sunday coming, (june 5th) at the redwood hotel at 3pm? The pub has a nice big carpark, and it's a pub with pool tables etc. How does that sound to you guys? K33n or nah?

Be aware, that if you have twelve months rego purchased on A register, then you go to reclassify it to the G register, you'll have to pay the difference. (and if you're a broken arse like me, that will break the bank big time!)

Yeah but those old-school guys are! lol Maybe Leppa and I can do the OS meet after the datsun meet. lol Hey leppa, I have an old BBQ that can live at your lock up if you like. It's just sitting around my back yard atm. You'll need your own bottle though.

Meeting place: Mount Pleasant Yacht Club car park, Main Road Ferrymead. Time: 10:30am. Itinerary: After meet and greet, we'll be heading down Main Road, and over evans pass. We usually stop just over the top of evans pass for a park up and pictures overlooking Lyttleton Harbour. Then we'll cruise around the bays to The wheasheaf tavern in Teddington for a refreshments break. Following this, those who wish to can preceed up Gebbies Pass and onto Summit road to the sign of the kiwi. The weather is usually miserable and cold for this cruise. But last year the tavern was quite cosy. I know I thouroughly enjoyed it! This get together is more about a social get together with freinds, than an out and out datsun cruise. See you there! PS, I phoned the Wheatsheaf Tavern, and they are intact after the recent earthquakes.

Shit. I just remembered that next sunday is a Datsun mini cruise. (sunday is winning in the polls atm)

Do you reckon it'll matter if I use one with the powerball? ( Built in rince aid) They get my dishes super clean. lol

50mm if opaque, 100mm if it's transperant.

I've seen the answer to all your problems Zac. Today I saw a mini project with a honda city turbo engine in it. That would be HEAPS lighter than the other engine you have in mind for down the track, and would still lay waste to a mini engine.

I like the idea of a BBQ at leppa's lock up. Or a pub. Anywhere to do skids at or near your lockup leppa? (just asking, I wouldn't want a repeat of the last place you lived) I say sunday Arvo. I'm working too many hours atm to wanna trek out in the dark after work. we can have the mad discussions about who and or how things should be happening.
