We'll hope everyone got home in one piece and all, hopefully no cops bothered anyone. Would of been a good day if it didn¡¦t rain, we got there too early since the track was wet and racing started at about 12 after everyone who wanted to was asked to go on the track to get all of the dam water off...most people overdid it eg. The white WRX nearly hit the dam main event organizer..abit to much sideways.

Good turn-up of people the times for waiting for runs wasn¡¦t to bad compared to some other drag strips in Vic. Good support from Skylines (Victoria) Australia with a think about a total of 11 cars coming up in the morning in one group and bout 3 rocking up later.

It was a good day, caught up with a couple of people and met more people on the forum. Hopefully next time, if there is a next time I will have my car ready.

Good show up of different cars...Skylines, rx7, wrxs, fords, commardores, rx3, 200sx & some other classics. The Rh9 r34 gtr was there ran 12.5 or something like that close to 9 ƒº. GTR700 was there ripped 9.15 something close or lower than that, we were hoping for high 8¡¦s but it started to rain before they would have another run. Which cut the day short to about 3pm or so.

Got about 64pics on the digital camera will upload them soon when I get a sec & also we got some video footage about and hour so that will be getting edited soon and hopefully we can make something of it. Post ya times if you want.

My best time was 15.18 which for a first timer to the drags wasn't too bad (I guess??) though I was hoping to go under 15secs........

Today being my first time running a car at a drag meet I must say that it was a blast and I can't wait for our next outing to the drags.

my best was 14.4 i believe - didn't get the timeslip tho as that was just b4 it started pissing down... Guess it was better than the other GTS-T's ;) so can't complain too much.

Those 225/50R16's didn't help much - next time i think i'll just use my regular street 17"s

Those helmets were annoying from what people have said...thoe you cant hear your car because of it, it dosent help when you have some old ford with no exhuast reving the fark out of their car near you.

haha....yeah those darn helmets..now i know why people use shift lights.;) my best time was 15.28....also not bad for a newbie with only an exhaust mod. R31Heaven ur not the only one to stick it into 5th instead of 3rd....haha.i couldnt stop laughing at myself ... though i did pull a 16.12 out of it...haha. had an awsome time...and the drive back was fun too. the gtr vs sti was a good match, both managing to get identical times of 13.08 or was it 12.08, cant remember.

    • Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂  
    • Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.
    • So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?
    • One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives   
    • I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
