hey, that was my idea - STEALER :D

Have to choose a meeting spot for the melbournites if we're going to cruise up together, and things like that.. full details, etc so its all properly planned

I gotta ring them and get the full details of what time it starts, how much it costs, etc.

ok.. seeing as Kami stole my thread before i could get to it :D i'll keep this post for people who have PM'ed me that they're coming so kami can add them.

More will be added as they post their interest. And I'm going to ring them tomorrow and get the full details and choose a meet spot.

my car still looks ugly down front so photos are out, but at least the bar ain't gonna fall off now.. its solid as a rock..hehe

if he told you then it wouldn't be a surprise then would it?

come on everybody else.. even if you've never done drag racing before, its good fun, and you get to see some nice cars. Even if you don't want to drag you can come and watch, it would be a good cruise up in the country. Pricing I would say will be around $50 for as many runs as you like.

Only real requirement is a helmet (motorbike helmet will do).

ok, well we got 10 cars at least, shall see what they can offer...

yer, tried calling them just then... no answer (guess its a bit early on a monday morning :)) left a msg.. hopefully they get back to me a bit later today.

Leewah: re below: well we'll be attenting just the general meet they have every Sunday so any cars are welcome to come up with us.

What: Drag meet at Heathcote Raceway to run your skyline or other car

Date: Sunday 1st June, 2003

Meet: 8:00 melb at Ford Factory - 1735 Sydney Road Campbellfield

Where to: Heathcote raceway

Gates open: 9:30am

Drag Runs:11am - 4pm

Cost: $40 per car for unlimited runs

Spectators: $15 (speak to a person running their car if you want a lift to watch)

Getting there (see attached map below)

General Direction Map: vic_map.cgi?x=2471381.7400&y=4454794.76&level=2

Meet spot for people in Melbourne is the Ford Factory carpark (Melways ref: Map 7, E3) at 8am for group departure at strict 8:30am. Yes damn early but we want to get up ther at a reasonable time to get as many runs as possible. From there we will be heading up the Hume Hwy, onto McIvor Highway At Wallan (towards bendigo). This goes thru Heathcote town, and the track is apparently about 18km from there, I'm aiming we will get there around 10:30am. It is approximately 110km drive from Melbourne

If you miss the original meet point you can just meet us at Heathcote in your own time. If you get there late it doesn't matter, you will just get less runs.

People Not from melbourne

If you're not from melb, you're more than welcome to come or plan amongst yourselves how to get there - just meet us directly at Heathcote

Requirements are:

* Helmet (motorbike or other appropriate racing helmet only. Can't be too old or damaged)

* Long sleeves (for those running their car).

* Doesn't have to be a skyline, but seeing this is Skylines Australia we will mostly be skylines

* Current driving license

Otherwise, just yourself, your car in RWC, plenty of High octane fuel, and your entry $.

She said she would get us some trophies made up for our group so we can have runs against each other Although i think some may have an unfair advantage! Bit of fun anyway.

Pretty much all is contained here.. If you have any further questions please PM me. IF you want my number to contact on the day, please PM me :)

For those that have never been before, don't be too put off. I'd never done it before until Calder, and its all about pushing your car to the max and seeing what it will do..and maybe learning from some other guys. Even if its only got a few mods, you might surprise yourself(or some others :P )

notes:

* we would need 50 cars for group discount (don't think we will get enuff)

* yes there will be other cars running that day, as its an open meet

* generally they run 1 on 1 so you can compare you car/driving against somebody else

* um, should i add anything else here?

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
