Calling all SAU Gold Coast residents!

Drag Combat is on Saturday 21 February at Willowbank Raceway.

I was thinking we should meet up somewhere early in the day and cruise up as a group. How does BP Coomera @ 8.30am for 9am departure sound? Anybody reckon we should leave earlier?

The cost to spectate is $30. So start saving now. :) FREE parking is available or you can pay $8 for "premier" parking.

It will be a full day event. I believe the gates open at 8am with racing finishing around 4-5pm.

Last years Drag Combat was awesome... Don't miss it this year!

i'm in it, last year was so packed, just abit dissapointed from the short cut we've taken through the back, cause when i got home and opened the bonnet all i could see is RED sand. i will definitely will pay the $8 prem parking :) that would be cool to see all our crs parked next to each other, would be the biggest attraction there........Yeee Ha... :headspin:

Pred: Cause Brisbane residents are weird :D Just kidding!

Your more than welcome to come as well as any other Brissy residents. I just figured most of the Brissy people would come out Ipswich Rd rather than backtracking down the M1.

Maybe we should stop at Redbank plaza and meet up with Brissy guys before continuing along to Willowbank?

The $8 premier parking isn't worth it. It's no different to the normal parking except it's on the other side of the fence and the thieves don't have to walk as far.

I dont think I'll be taking my car out. We'll take brutis out I think.

Hahahaha

Anyway I will be a drag combat a little earlier me thinks, am swinging spanners for GTR_Cam trying to get some good times out the newly tuned 33...

Yeah heat can be a bit of a bummer......but a bit of prep time makes all the diff, big sunshade, lightweight seat, sunblock and a couple of eskies full of ice and cold drinks in the boot ...... think of the poor competitors in the staging lanes !!! and finally....this IS Queensland. ..... Still hope to see you there

    • Unfortunately,  it feels like it's been on the decline for nearly a decade. Especially as wallet racing became popular with them(biggest wallet can pay off a car that wins). It seems like a different mindset kf ownership these days. But, hopefully people like yourself keep some of the skyline scene alive.
    • A bit of data is always good, beats the Facebook experts with their opinions Although the kWs aren't anywhere near what you are after, it should give you a good indication. I have Bosch 1480cc injectors, often called 1650cc (only when run at 4bar). I run mine at 3bar base so I don't thrash the fuel system. Up top, making 437kW with boost dropping, injector duty is at 69% on E80 (might have had some residual 98RON in there)  
    • I have some downtime due to winter, and just wrapped up converting the car over to flex fuel. We don't get E85 at the pump over here in Canada, but I will be running Ignite E90 Race gas. I'll be mixing it with 99-100 RON pump gas and shoot for 50% ethanol content, up to possibly 85% content if there's any noticeable gains. Here's the question. Most I'll ever want to hit is ~600rwkW. I've currently running 1200cc injectors and want to keep them under 90% duty cycle. As per some online injector calculators, I should be good with 1200's well past 600rwkw on E85. As per other calculators, I'll need 1600-2000cc's. The variety is rather amusing.  With you Australians having E85 at the pump, what realistic duty cycles are you seeing in those kW ranges on E50 & E85 on your injectors? Thanks, 
    • No issues here with my PRP gears in an OEM pump housing. I did confirm all housing clearances were to spec prior though. Cheers. 
    • Thread is a bit old but figured id give my input anyway just incase. Have had lots of water problems in my R32 and was getting sick of wet tools in the boot and water filling up half my taillights. I ended up finding that whenever my car had been repainted they didn't reseal the taillights to the body of the car so water was just flowing straight into the boot, this is amplified by all the water around the bootlid being directed down to the taillights so would get pretty wet whenever I washed the car or it rained. You could probably use silicone to seal them to the body but I think from factory they use a roll of automotive grade butyl rubber. Hopefully this helps you if that ends up being how the water is getting in on your car!
