Hey..

Is anybody interested in creating a group run to Heathcote Drags on Sunday 1st June??

Well I've never been myself, but apparently Heathcote is a bit quieter than Calder and allows you more runs and less hectic. Last time at Calder I only got about 4 runs in, and would have liked more time to practice my launches and things in getting a more decent 13sec run. Friday night @ Calder also isn't ideal in terms of getting there early from work and things like that (for me at least)

Heathcote is about a 110km drive north from Melbourne and not far from Bendigo. Would make a great day trip for spectators, and those that want to run... leave 8am or so, get there 9-10am or so and spend the rest of the day prepping our cars and hopefully getting in some 10+ runs.

Anyway, its not a definitive plan *as yet* however just seeing who would be interested.

p.s. doesn't have to be 1st June as they are every 2 weeks on the Sundays.. just my suggestion.

I wouldn't mind coming along if I can... Never been to a meet/cruise - dunno if this would be the best place to meet SAU members (distance) but it'd still be good fun!

I'm always driving to my parents farm which is 10mins this side of Heathcote (was actually gonna have a look at the drags last time I was down there...no time.)

Car's not modified, but wouldn't mind seeing what I can achieve before playing with things though.

If u get your cooler in by then.. should be interesting. Will u have your license back by then? :D

I want to try on my stockie wheels..maybe even some octane booster. I just want time to be able to stop, try this, try that, and have a few runs and experiment a bit without waiting for 40 mins just for another run. So hard at calder!

cooks44: if it goes ahead, it would be something like meet in melb, travel up to Heathcote togther, drag for the day, and then come back to melb later that night. Maybe even stop at the pub for a couple of beers before heading back.

I maybe interested if my car is ready by then to run again.

The last 2 times I've been out to Heathcote was for the LS1 private meet (the 1st one got rained out) and there were 50 cars and Emre managed to do over 20 runs over the 2 sessions.

Great value for money.

oh well.. we'll have SAU vs XXX then ..even better :O doesn't matter... we're never going to get the track to ourself. I will ring them soonish and find out further details.

As long as there is at least 4-5 cars interested (which it sounds like)...worth doing I think.

I'd be interested in going up again later in the month... I'm busy that weekend though.

BTW - If you've got 183rwkw you should have plenty left. When I had 183rwkw, I ran 106mph!

It is MCCR that is also going to heathcote but its ok cause they are doing it this month - 24/25th May! *wipes forehead and looks for Solo can*

Will the price for us be similar to this?

Heathcote Park Entry - $30 Unlimited Runs ($10 Spectate Fee)TBC

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
