RPM Performance - Sat' 31st May Drag Day - post here if intending to enter


Recommended Posts

As you can all see from the thread title change - Ivan has booked us in for Sat' 31st May. It was the first weekend in May AIR had available!

Pricing will follow soon. Naturally the more cars the cheaper it'll be. If the 31st is wet then we'll re-schedule to the following weekend & so on... Hopefully all will still be able to attend if the date has to change due weather.

Nightcrawler, thanx for the forum web address. Must say I've been browsing Skyline web sites for awhile and never come across this one so I'm stoked. What time did you end up running?? Also, you'll have to drop me a line next time you guys go for a cruise.

Munro - i wish it was me in that bracket, I've never got to see a good view of your runs, what with the constant line up. A run next to a 9 second car, at least for the first 60 feet would be awesome!!

32godzilla .... my best run was the first one - a 13.41 @ 104.5mph - 1.932 60' .... the other 2 runs I missed second gear on both :) for 13.816 (to beat a thumping V8 Commodore :) ) & 13.914

For videos of 2 of my runs and 2 of Munros (incl. the Aus record run) go to: http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/andnus2002/l...rc=bc%26.view=l for downloads (sorry about the sizes of the files). Enjoy

Yeah Matt the vids came out pretty well. I loved my launches but was sorry to see you bog down ;) .... you definitely need some :burnout: on your launch!!!

The vids also show how much you pull on me top end - I still can't for the life of me figure out why that is so????

Just goes to show I need to get a cooler in before the drag day :) :shake:

tN^,

I'll put you down on the list I'm keeping mate. Anthony & another GSR/EVO club member are already on it. Ivan is keeping me informed of ALL entries so my list stays up to date.

Cheers,

Matt

Just a thought - has anyone organized a tow truck or recovery vehicle?

might come in handy at some stage, especially with 50 odd cars.

I reckon it would be hard work pushing a car back from right down the end:D

Chris,

I'll add that to the list of things to ask AIR about. They "should" have a vehicle for recovery as part of the track hire fee!?

grepin has volunteered to use his R33 as the tow/recovery vehicle.

As you may recall it's been specifically tuned for that purpose, that Power FC and OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch combo will finally be put to good use.

    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
    • Dang.....  that is some good info.  Thank you.    Yes, I plan to do some troubleshooting before I actually just throw parts at it.  I was doing some investigating on parts, just to get a head start, if wiring and stuff all looked good.
    • No worries, now that I'm closer to 70yo than not, this sort of stuff will one day be 'lost knowledge'... and even now, I wonder just how many folks out there have the Kent-Moore J34291 shim setting tool set to set end clearances rebuilding these...but right the now, there's less and less hard parts available, and you'll be headed to the wreckers to buy a donor box if it's worn out...(or pay a shop to do exactly the same thing). In a way, it's fortunate the 4-speed was so popular, because there's still heaps of consumables (banners kits, bearings & plates etc) around ~ these early 5-speeds weren't exactly that prevalent, so there's not quite as much about for them... but it's a race between perceived demand for these parts, versus how much they fetch at the shredder for recycling purposes...
    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
