15:28PM: [email protected] 1.956 60ft

First time down at the drag strip with M/T Street Radials and they were brand new, couldn't do a decent burnout so the first couple of runs couldn't get traction or bogged down, but by the end of the day the 12's started coming out when i learnt how to launch properly.

I won both my bracket races by default LOL, because both the cars i raced false started :unsure: guess i'll get a FREE wednesday night pass BONUS!

Had a great time and thank you to all those that organised shame about the weather though.

I had a couple of 4WD problems that needed to be sorted out, plus a 3rd gear selection problem. Attessa needed to be bled, and the HKS ETC system needs a lot of 'tuning'. On every run, I would either bog off the line, or wheelspin through first and second, and then couldn't engage third gear properly. Still very happy that the car got down the track in once piece as this was the first time I have driven the car after the build.

Thanks to Adam and the V8 Owners Club for a great day.

Congrats to all the new PB's and that it went smoothly, without the problems of the last SAU WSID day. :unsure:

So did any of you guys beat the ZED?? I heard ZX2NV ran a flat 12 sec pass, not bad for a barge! Anchors away.

Adam, you have now driven an LS1, are you coming over to the dark side???????

Peter.

That thing (his tow car for the rest of you) can just about do burnouts without going over 2000rpm :unsure::P but.... no. hehe. I like the roundy roundy too.

i couldn't beat it, didn't expect a 12flat from it i've got the other side of that time slip when it did the 12flat i ran 12.7 for that run :unsure:

Had a great day, post the nerve killing first run. :unsure:

Couldnt of done it without my pit bitch....Hi 5 Liz!!

Yay for Stormin Norman's launching lessons

Thanks to Adam and V8 guys

anytime for a member of the three letter name gang

hi5!

How'd the NBP crew go?? Malecki?

who are NBP?

Thanks for a great day guys... just wish the rain held off a little longer!

Chubbs... I think my best time was a 14.01 something... First run of the day on street tyres Lucas did a 13.201 - third slipped a bit though!

Lucas was runnning in the low 14's after that also - worked out that the pin to the master cylinder that we made was a smidgen too long.... hence 2nd & 3rd was slipping..... didn't get a chance to test it out heaps as the clutch was only finished being installed late Saturday!

We put the semi's I had lying around on after the lunch and he ran a 13.3 (clutch was nice & cold!)... Heading back down either this wednesday or next with the clutch sorted and some MT's.... hoping to crack the high 12's.... (with Lucas driving.. I just want to get in the 13's!)

nice Anna!

I may head out next week also!

:unsure:

Links...love that last shot of my car with Lucas "warming" up the the semis... I made him put them on cause he was killing my street tyres :P

DJ Brave.. where are all your photos??????

was a great bit of weather for racing, except for the rain. it was good to see charlies car running, and I've no doubt it's going to be insane when it's sorted. I was just happy for a chance to take the car for a run and catch up with some of the guys I haven't seen in a while. congrats to all those that entered.

What happened to you and Stace and Twoogle, Paul?

awww.. can't believe they didn't make it, but at the same time i'm glad i didn't miss twoggles debut :D

im testing out a new fake RWD burnout system for FWD, my target market is honda drivers.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
