A smaller than expected turnout greeted us for the second annual Nissan Datsun Drag Challenge. Melbourne has had a streak of hot weather of late and Saturday was no different with the mercury climbing past 30 degrees. This didn’t detract the quicker cars with many strong numbers run.

One standout was Mark Waiunhouf’s Nissan 200SX. The tough looking S14a is powered by an RB25/30 combo that’s putting out a cool 700 odd horsepower and is backed by an RB25 5-speed gearbox. Weighing in at over 3000lbs, Mark was in the 10s all day for a best of 10.59/140.

Keir Wilson has quite a reputation when it comes to quick GT-R’s. The R32 is a favourite among many with its super stock looks and killer performance. Keir ran 9.06/158 in eliminations before going an even quicker 8.99/159 on drag radials but unfortunately the car suffered an engine failure in the braking area.

Quick VL’s on the day included Adam Donehue’s RB25 powered Commodore. The car made strong power on the dyno beforehand but was suffering from blow by on his first pass of 10.32/132 and forcing Adam to pack up for the day. John Bresciani had ‘PANNIC’ out once again and found it hard work putting power down through its small 28x9-inch tyres. John ran a very skatey 9.95/147 before improving the BT1 to a 9.33/149 during eliminations. The Rajab Racing Calais took out the B1 quick class and was pretty consistent all day for a best of 8.75/154 during eliminations. Chopa Trtovac’s metallic pink Calais also ran a solo pass of 9.50/146.

Benny Kashima’s High End Racing S14 also ran hard all day in the 10-second zone for a 10.78/131 while Ben Winstone’s ‘DAT13B’ Datsun 1200 ran a personal best of 11.66/119, not bad considering Ben is yet to fit an intercooler to the car. Ben also ran his R32 GT-R for a 12.4-second pass.

    • With permission granted from the SAU admin (thanks Christian!) I'd like to introduce a new website "OEM Soko" (OEM -> Original Equipment Manufacturer, Soko -> Warehouse) https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/ It's a family business registered in Japan and owned by my wife (Japanese) with myself running the website and shipping side and doing all the English translations/dealing with clients in English. My son is also involved part time while studying. The business has been registered since 2016 but never promoted outside Japan until now due to other obligations.  So what service does OEM Soko offer? In a nutshell: Anything worth shipping from Japan via Japan Post EMS. It's primary focus is Automotive accessories and hobby related items such as model cars etc, however there's also a "Vintage Soko" section dealing with used items and categories like Car cleaning and Tools. There's also a category "Nifty items" which includes any items we come across that are a) made in Japan, and b) have some sort of "nifty" attribute.  By all means please take a look and let me know your thoughts or any feedback here in this thread. We're updating the products all the time and although it's not 'populated' so much at this stage, by checking up on what's new I'm sure there'll be something to pique your interest! * As an introductory offer to SAU members we'll throw in a "Car Wash Japan" Made in Japan 30cm x 30cm microfiber cloth with any order regardless of value! Just put your SAU member name and a link to your SAU profile in the "Order special instructions" section in the Shopping Cart (see attached image) to receive this free gift! 🙂👍 We're always open to any request for items from Japan no matter what it is, automotive related or not, so by all means please use the Contact form to send your request here! :  https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/pages/contact
    • Hi Dave and welcome! 
    • I have S15 helical too. It is a bit worn. I think the drive behaviour you describe is related to this wear. Wear of helicals is something that no-one seems to have paid a lot of attention to, but now that they (as in original Nissan ones) are all a bit old - we're starting to  see the consequences. The ends of the helical spurs wear into the casing. That's where they perform the braking that diverts torque. Some of the more modern helical designs have proper wear surfaces introduced there, but the Nissan ones are just steel on steel (or iron).
    • I've had a range of rear diff centres - open, viscous, helical, mechanical, welded, etc.   I can't go past a refreshed factory 32 gtr centre for consistent lock and street driving. The next step up for me would be the nismo 1.5 way , which likely suits you better as track sounds like the focus. Will chatter in carparks but its not the worst.   I have never tried a quaife rear diff, an option I've looked at before and might be one for you .....   Currently playing with an S15 centre at the moment and I hate it.  The transition from single wheel spin either side is just weird.
    • Honestly, I did think the PDM could do it and thought Haltech told me the pump didn’t like it. But after re-reading the emails and comments above, I clearly misunderstood lol.
