Well what can i say...

hmm...

40 cars racing +

another 30 odd spectators +

fine weather

=

The first Annual Drag Challenge between SAU-Vic and the WRX Club of Vic a total success.

Thanks to all who came along today to Heathcote Park Raceway.

It was a superb day. I really enjoyed myself even though i wasnt racing!!!

Track temp was a little down and this was clearly reflected in the times as almost everyone on average we a few 10th's off what they should have been in general.

But it was great to see a lot of first timers, and even the ladies out there having a go.

So post up your pics/thoughts and whatever else you feel like blurting out :ban:

cheers - ash

what an awsome day!! I had a great first time experience down the 1/4mile, learnt heaps each time I ran. I got a total of 20 runs in for the day!! (I'm pretty sure paul can top that)

Best ET: 13.4 ( .52 reaction, 2.3 60ft, 113.4 mph)

Best MPH: 115.9mph

Best 60ft: 2.0

Best reaction time: 0.52

what a great day! thanks to everyone involved. cant wait for the next one.

oh, an on my last run I split a standard rubber elbow bend of my intercooler piping.....bitta 100mph tape wraped round there an EBC switched off....made it home sweet as.

Well done and big thanks to all the the organisers.

It was a heap of fun. I've only dragged road bikes before at Calder a couple of times many many years ago and once at Heathcote last year and on those days all I did is wait for hours for a run. 10 seconds of fun every couple of hours.

This day was awesome, you could basically have a run when ever you felt like it. The opportunity to truely do long term damage to the whole car.

It'd be good if we could squeeze another one of these in this later in the year. :ban:

Had a great time there today, the track was maybe a little off its best in my opinion, went a best of 12.3/114, just a bit off the PB for the car (R32 GT-R, Z1LLA plates).

Lots of nice cars out there. Look forward to participating in a few more club events this year.

Thanks to those who organised it. Was well run.

Yeah..

well done peoples

As said there were a lot of first timers out there today. myself included.

My LIMO..(r33 4 door) did the best it could with no big mods. 15.4 me best

But that gives me something to better next time like 15.3 lol..

Everone looked like they were having a great time . i met some great blokes

from the WRX club . and hope we do it again soon.. cheers......

oh yeah,, i hope everone that came home along the Northern highway spotted that speed camera in wallan.....

yeah I saw that camera....was a dark burgandy kinda colour new Holden Rodeo.....hope it didnt get any lines or rexies

Yeah hope not .

there were 8 of us and the lead car spotted it at last second and hit the skids

we all had to slow down that quick we crawled past him at about 10 ks a hour

I like the way your car launch mate, all you need is a good clutch and some more boost, looking strong on the run.

My clutch was dead before the end of the day :

but suprisingly my car ran its best time with two people in the car, and a dead clutch

lol, mods are in progress, so it better be ready for the next drag day :ban:

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
