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.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
