Eastern Creek Street Meeting


Recommended Posts

I'm going to eastern creek next wednesday night the 19th Aug and was hoping to get a few more 350gt or z's to come out and have some fun.

They say mid 14's for a stock 350gt but i'm hoping to get into the low 14's or even high 13's by making it a bit lighter lol. All just a bit of fun.

And what is quicker, 350gt or 350z?

So anyone interested?

I kinda am... curious to know what my car can do in the form i drive it as. Not expecting much though as i recently changed sussy so the rear doesn't squat as much and i went back to normal street tires.

Maybe we can organise to meet somewhere and cruise there ? Lol...can even do auto vs manual grudge matches if enough go haha.

Z will be quicker, they are a little bit lighter (stock for stock and from same year) and don't forget later model Z's then got the revup motor (221kw) then to the very high rev motor (230kw).

Well mine ran 14.5 up here in the far north @ Townsville drag way in summer, however with the air temps being cooler now particuallty down south for you guys it should help get ur cars into the low 14's. Id reccomend ditching big rims with ultra low profile tyres for some stock 17's which I think would help. I want to try swapping my 19"s for 17"s that next time I go to the drags to see if it makes any difference to my own times.

I'd come, but my diff mount bushings are torn. I don't want to load up the driveline too hard with big launches if the diff is moving around.

I could bring a non FM platform car as a maybe.

Man up and come Alan! Lol j/k

Diff bushings torn wow... afaik, the Z's had more diff bushings compared to the V. I think we have just one solid one but last i checked mine was ok.

Yeah i should swap my rims.. have 18" gramlights on with 275 michelin pilot sport ps2 or 18" factory with 245 bridgestone re-01r... the bridgestones have way more grip.. I think i'd rather see what the car does in it's everyday form though, probably won't even do a burnout to heat the tires up...

14.5 ain't bad, especially in the heat.

I just realised that neither of the other 2 cars is really usable in their current states. I guess I won't be coming at all.

Its probably all the years of track use with R-Comps on. I did break 3rd gear last year, after all.

Whiteline says they'll have polyurethane ones out soon, so I'm still about a month away from getting the Z back to 100%.

As long as your having fun SCATHING that is important!

So is auto faster then manual?

I have an auto and love it. Took the manual for a test drive and didn't like it at all. My 18 year old GTR feels brand new compared to that lol.

Looking forward to meeting fellow 350 drivers ;)

I'll try to make it down for the day straight after work

I have an auto. it's my first auto i've owned and I've always been curious whether the sport shift mode is faster than tiptronic shifting in a straight line

I don't get off work until around 6 and from work it would be maybe a 30 minute drive with traffic

good to meet you nick :P

1st run 14.014 @100.88mph

2nd run15.168 @99.36mph (bogged launch and hit rev limiter in 1st gear :) )

good to know that my car can break into sub14's in completely stock form, next time I'll have to come minus all the usual junk in my trunk and cabin (came straight after work)

will return once exhaust is on and a/f ratios tuned

Nice to meet you to yoyo :P .

my first run was a 14.4 ( beating a r33 GTS)

second was 14.3.

Had wheel spin and left it to the auto to change gears. I felt lazy. They say it's quicker to manual shift. Oh well still happy with the time seeing it's all stock.

Makes it a long night when holden V8's blow up on the line :)

I saw two other 350gt's there but never ran? A nice black one with different exhaust.

yeah you could see the smoke blowing everywhere lol typical commo

I was going to do a run with the car just in sport shift D but only had time for 2 runs before they closed it off

Someone had a pretty bad crash straight after my first run too, hope it wasn't too bad for the owner

    • Hey Matt, Link pointed to the 2x IGN power sources from the car as a likely issue, and sure enough pin 31 in the loom does not have power when IGN is on (24 does). So at the ECU, (and this is probably the case for R32 as well as C34) most of the ECU loom goes through the firewall behind the blower motor and there are 2 plugs (of 3 in the junction box) which go up and under the dash, the third plug heads under the carpet to places unknown (likely a body to dash loom joint) So, I started to follow that problem through yesterday. Like Johnny (and R32) I assumed that power was supplied through the 2 connectors near the left headlight so I spent some time pulling the intake etc off and cleaning of 400,000klm of dirt and oil leaks and checking those pins, but there was nothing related to the engine parts or ignition fuses there (and no purple with white trace wire in either side of the connectors) Given that the wire didn't seem to go via the engine bay, I then checked there is continuity from Pin 31 to the second connector to confirm no wiring issue in the ECU loom (it looked likely, given how much that has been hacked up over the years!). The pin marked with the purple dot is the other end of the wire to Pin 31 Then I check for IGN power in the dash loom side of that connector with the key on. Nothing. Given that loom goes up and underneath the top of the dash there is no tracing it without taking the dash out, so I went to the driver's side to see if I can find the other end of that (I'm expecting to get to big body junction boxes after I pull enough apart). However, to get to those functions, I had to pull the covers off the drivers side, I'm pretty sure the problem is in this pic Yep, factory remote start (bottom right), local immobiliser (middle) surrounded by 20 years of butchery. Plan is to totally remove the remote start and immobiliser (I think I will lose remote central locking temporarily as a result) to remove all the suspect stuff given I have other more modern security in the car It's gonna take a while, and it is both cold and uncomfortable out in the shed, not looking forward to it.
    • Hey team,  The clutch on my newly bought 25 swapped r32 feels average and sticks half way. Went to go order a new clutch master but it does not look like the ones that suit the one that’s in the car…    does anyone know what clutch master is this just by looking ?  (The feed is on the side rather than the bottom like the ones the pop up online)  thanks guys new to the RB scene so any help is appreciated cheers !!
    • Id be more than happy to sign up!!! Where do I send the invoices for my fuel usage? I'm happy to provide the mower, oil, and the labour to abuse the motor, just a little help on fuel would be great...   I had tipped the container of oil out into my big "drip tray" and left the small container upside down to drain the oil out of itself overnight. PIcked the container up today, and it has a layer of what feels like either dirt, or shit tonnes of carbon in the bottom of the container. I'm leaning towards it likely being dust, as I doubt the quality of the Sunli BumbleBee having a decent air filter on it, and sections of my yard produce a dust storm, especially because of the high lift blade!   So, filled her up with some fresh Nulon. Seemed to run fine, but it seems to want to run at really high RPM (higher than normal) even with the governor spring slacked off after fire up to try reduce it. If I back the throttle off it a bit to drop the rpm to where I'd like it to be when mowing light grass, it starts to blow a bit of smoke out the exhaust. Opening the throttle back up clears that out. It's definitely breathing oil, as I put my hand down at the breather hose and it's spitting some oil.   My guess is it having been running at high rpm, oil never changed, and it eating dust has destroyed the rings. You know what that means? Time to send it!!!
    • That is what will seal with the bonnet closed. Follow it down while closing the bonnet to see where it ends up with the bonnet closed. The panels don't do anything other than spending money, which this one will do just fine. :p
    • Nah just send me a photo or a drawing and I'll tell you which is better.  It's a new SAU service.
