Just posting up about last week at wsid.I had met quite a few of the skyline forum members down there s the tyre gauge I lent out sparked up conversation everywhere. I only go twice ayear to the drags and I ended up popping the 0.000 reaction time and ended up taking home $960 dollars. I didnt even know there was a prize for this..I am still amazed!!

Btw very nice to meet you guys there the other night cheers

yeah

the timing equipment at WSID is obviously better than it was at the old Creek strip, because i seem to remember any better than a 0.004 at the old track was classed as a redlight.

I have heard this too.On their website of wsid they actually have an article before the night that it is the quickest reaction time without crossing the red.This must mean that they know if I had run the red!!Which obviously I didnt.

60 footers went to buggery 2.486 to 2.9 . Standard ones do 2.3 lol. As a result the et wasnt good at all. The wagon had no traction whatsoever.I had taken it out to see where its at. Last year it ran a 14.7 .It has more power this year but just cant get traction. Today I treated it nicely and installed some traction enhancing parts.The takeoff has dramatically improved.The rear leaf springs are not flexing at all.

The last run of the night and no final timing board.Tyre pressures were adjusted and the car recorded a 2.109 60 footer 6.088 330 footer and 9.335 660 footer.This run was on par with a 14.5 1/4 but never got recorded.But it happens and I still had a great night.

at willowbank a perfect reaction time is 0.400 cause it starts timing when the last amber light goes off. this is taken from the willowbank raceway website

It measures the time from when the last amber come on to when your front wheel clears the start line beam. Now as there is exactly 4 tenths of a second between lights, it then follows that a "perfect light" will be four tenths of a second - meaning that the vehicle has cleared the stage beam at exactly the same time as the green light came on. This is shown on the time slip as .400. Anything less than this means that you left too early and red lighted (fouled) and any more than this is wasted time sitting at the start line.

Hey mate how are you? I went last week and got a pb of 14.5 95.68mph. For a na six au taxi wagon..I was stoked!!

Btw I didnt know the darn gauge was faulty on the night ..I am sorry:(

Also wsid do have the best timers and they also register red light breakouts.It was not a breakout.

HEHEH Its not too bad .i did 90% of the work myself and had Croydon racing tune it. It isnt running 100% as it needs the diff gears and a few things I have touched retuned. I would love to run a 13 na but thats another story.

Good luck in 3 weeks mate:) :P

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
