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:

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
