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.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
