Ivan i will DEFINATELY be up for another meet!!! 17 runs for $85.. can't argue with that.

Doesn't bother me if i was nearly the slowest hippy. I enjoyed maself and did better than the time I wanted to do :P

U can run whatever PSI u like in a car with stuff all power :) It doesn't make a difference when you can hardly get em spinnin anyways :D hehe

Hippy - sorry we didnt catch up dude - I saw you rock up (you parked over with the Skyline group right?) and I called out over the p.a. but I dont think u heard me

Maxx - sorry, I thought your car was Bugalugs' for a while there cos I couldn't see your front bumper from the commentators angle - nice front bumper there anyhow (intersting an R32 GTR style bumper on an R33) - I love that bar!

Henry - nice time man!!! - you almost caught me :D .... thanks - the commentating was crap but we did what we could :) .... thanks to Ricky for his help too!

Joel/Clint I agree too ... later in the year would be better - like October/November, where we're pretty much guaranteed no rain (wasn't the weather good to us today?!!!), and so we can all have time to get our lines in order :P

Timmmayyy - nice time for the old 3lt n/a - did you like the plugs I was giving you all the time? :)

You shoulda had your radio tuned in to the AIR station (I assume it was broadcasting?) .... that's what I always do when I race so I can hear real-time what's going on! (60', 1/4 time etc)

yeah andrew i was there and u did see me but i rudely didn't say hello because u were always busy chatting with someone so i dind't want to butt in and i parked outside cause i didn't know how to get in there hehe ... and i had the white jacket with blue/red stripes down the side ... and most of the time i was standing next to the track so i couldn't head **** all ... i was deaf from that red mazda rotary with 10 metre wide slicks :P ... and i think keirs 32gtr finished my ears off :D

and yeah must admit weather was pretty good .. not tooo hot .. but my damn camera ran out of batteries or i would of taken pics of every car there .. oh well

Hey people

i was the man holding the flag for the late model 4dr skyline

had a great day

got some good practice and take offs and so on

got time down to 14.1 with rt of .489 with 2.1 60ft at 98mph

very keen for another with few more mods

Erin

Firstly I would like to thank all involved in organising the day. I had never dragged proper before and wasnt keen on attending a normal street meet. My car is the Grey R33 mpg posted in a previous thread by GFXman.

My first run ever: 60' - 2.898 (yuck, wheel spin) with ET of 15.405

and MPH 88.72

My best : 60' - 2.1 flat, ET of 13.694 at 102.82 mph.

For my car this maybe should have been closer to the other similar modded Skylines of Freebaggin and Bugalugs more stock freakish 95 model who both got in the 13.4's. However in comparison to their cars reaching the 105mph consistantly I couldnt get more than 102 mph. I tried shifting earlier and later and made little difference. Something to look at in the future.

I wont even start with my day:mad: The best I could manage was 14.3 110mph with the whole rear end jumping around. Couldnt even get it on full boost. 3 runs for $85 not happy hope we have another one of these days so I can make up for it in the end. Apparantly the high light of my car was the huge flame on the first run?

Really good day guys..

I think we got there a bit late and missed a few of you guys run.

Something is VERY wrong with my car. There is a fuel leak somewhere.. so no runs for me.

I was looking forward to seeing your car race matt.. everytime I have seen it its been parked! Maybe next time

    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au  
    • Does have series 2 airbag steering wheel and passenger side airbag also.
    • Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5
    • I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
