Just got a reply from AIR re Saturday night:

Andrew,

I agree it was a shambles Saturday night - the number of vehicles was more than what is normal (both with Comp and Street cars), but it is not a case of the facility not being able to cope - we have twice that number at Comp Meets. The problem is that we have absolutely no idea of how many cars are going to turn up to Street Meets, where we do with Comp Meets and that way we are prepared.

To ensure this will not occur again we are changing our next Street Meet to Sunday 4th May whereby we will open the gates at 9.00am and start racing at 10.00am. This way if a large number of vehicles turn up we can run all day - and even all night if need be! Everyone will get the amount of runs that they are happy with! I hope that this solution meets with your approval and you will continue to frequent the Street Meets and get some real runs in.

Regards

Anna Micheel

So it looks like we get a whole day AND night of racing for $50. It will be interesting to see how many people turn up for the next one!

Also I have the videos of 2 of my runs, and more importantly of John's Aus record run at My Yahoo Briefcase .... will upload more soon

hehe Matt you noticed .... it looks good to I STOLE it, so there :)

Funny you guys should talk about 'buggering it up' - here is an excerpt from the email I sent to AIR yesterday:

----------------------------------------------

As I'm sure you can understand that I am unhappy at paying $50 to wait around all night and only have a couple of runs. Most of the Skylines Australia group were there and feel the same - we went out for a night of fun and had a miserable night. One of the Skylines waited over 2 hours for scrutineering (due to the drag line blocking entry to the scrutineering area - before they widened it to 4 lanes after complaints) and he only got 1 run (which he messed up anyhow). Needless to say he is VERY upset with the system!!!!

I spoke on the phone to Anna Micheel earlier today. She was very understanding & helpful about the whole situation :mad: Needless to say I'm in for free next meet.

I also chatted with her about future events & running fortnightly s/meets come next summer! We quickly touched on our private meet as well, specifically the spectators issue. I'll update further within the drag day thread.

I gave up and rang AIR 2day, they said they sent me an Email but I didnt get it. After about 10minutes on the phone they finnaly gave in and gave me free entry to the event aswell. Its amazing what can happen when a few people voice there opinions on a certain matter. in the end we all win.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
