well drag warz has been run and won.

theo took out sport rwd, finally some final action for him, and some low nines as well which if i am correct he backed up and should have lowered the et record and also the MPH record.

was great to see team berzerky out there with a good 5 or 6 car team in the class, all there guys did really well. i must also say publicly thankyou to you guys for your sportsmanship in the semi when you realised i had an issue getting the cressida to crank over. its great to see, its a shame others in the sport arent like it.

we were really happy with our performance on the day even with a slipping auto we still ran a pb of 10.008 et at 139.99 mph and on another pass went 143.32 mph. once the box is sorted at its current level of tune i am confident of a 9.8 et. then we will progressively wind the boost into it and see what it can do.

i didnt get to see mark run but his car sounded strong all day long.

cheers

shane

Not much of a crowd at all. Not very well publicised but we still had fun. Had a good day even though we broke the car :)

Was great to catch up with a bunch of guys I only ever see at Sport Compact events esp the Cressida guys. Big thank you to the Bezerkly Automotive team who had more cars there than just about any other shop and managed a couple of runner-up positions for the first timers!

Awesome stuff!

    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses. 
    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
