WHOOOOOOT!. Who said wheelchairs cant fly. Did a best of 13.8 tonite. COOOOOOL!~

Ben ran strong all night posting some good 13.6's at around 110 mph. AD_N finally learnt how to launch a gtr and ran some strong low 13 second passes. Big Chris did a pb in the 4 door auto taxi.

There were a lot of lines there tonite, some real sleepers too. hot gtr running 11's, super sleep gtst plain white no wing no nuthin running low 12's in the 120 mph bracket.

Young Andy had his first taste of the drags in his new 32 and had a ball. I think he got dizzy from just going round the loop to do another pass. He's hooked. Devils advocate Adam borrowed my lid for a couple of passes and showed how to break traction in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Thank gawd he ran out of road cos i think he may have lit 5th up too.

What a great night. pb's everywhere and lines galore so to all of you that said you were coming then found your yellow blood count was too high I say....Stiff shit. You missed a great night of lines at play.

Did a best run of 13.38 at the end of the night! so pleased with that. had an awesome night thanks Noel for dinner. stoked you got your 13.8 well done, gem might put some pics up later.

13.38. !!!!KEEEWWWWLLLL Ben. you gotta be happy with that man.

haha did adam have his cheese cutters on the back did he? :)

good to see he hardened the f*ck up :(

much of a crowd there this week?

yeah it was busy courtesy of a harley day but once they f**ked off it wasnt too bad. Toward the end of the evening you could get about 4 runs in half an hour if you wanted.

As happy as you were with yours, should organise going on wednesday nights, get some more runs in.

Wednesdays rock Ben. I think we maybe should try and organise at least one wednesday line night a month. i am definitely up for it.

Yes i love my no traction tyres they were awesome, only got two runs in, First time doing this shit pulled out a 14.7 on the first run with 1.3 reac and 2.7 60FT cant remember the speed, 2nd run bit better 1.1 reac 2.3 60FT 14.1 sec quater at 106 mph too much wheel spin damn it lol, and that was in line with changing at or before 6000 rpm, meh good base to work at

Nice night out, really enjoyed the 8 second action from that Series 6 RX7... WOW...

Got to catch up with the regular TnT gang...

Plus I got valuable info from the on of the ford boys on tyres and rims to use for my car as he had a similar power output...

He ran a 11.09 @ 129mph with a 330rwkw XR6T and made some huge smoke :( so I think i know what ill be buying now...

FYI ----> MT ET Radials 255/60/16 and run about 17-18psi tyre pressure...

Edit: Ill add some photos later...

Also I have to add, there was no accidents and no stops tonight...

So it was one of the best Saturday night events ive been too...

Apart from the Harley Boys getting preference all the time and getting like every second run (but who would complain as they are big, hairy and have many tattoo's), once they left the runs seemed to flow nicelly... Adam (devils) you left too early, you coudl have got another 2 or 3 in before 9pm...

Arrrr well...

thats a good call Col. The last 30 minutes was like happy hour. Just go round and round as quick as you could and get in about 4 runs in 30 minutes.

Nice. I didn't even realise there was a SAU club day on and saw all you guys out there. I ran 12.1 @ 124mph. I wasn't trying for ET, just wanted to see what sort of MPH I could run as I know a good ET was never going to happen with a stock stall converter and large turbo. Just need to get rid of that stock stall converter, fit a less restrictive exhaust and aim for low 11's - high 10's. :(

    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
    • Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4碌s extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1碌s, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
