Brett, that's the last list I have as @ 12th Sept. It has been an absolute nightmare because of the reschedule and the way we have had to register details with Sydney Dragway.

Thats why you dont do it.... i know your only trying to help people out but with the stipulations WSID put on these events your just opening yourself up to problems. The reason WSID have put these stipulations on as they are not a day for the spectators, they are a day for the racers. If someone wants a ticket they should just organise to grab one from a driver and thats that

I agree. That is how it is done for all other private drag days and also the last time SAU had a drag day. Saves a lot of mucking around of the organisers.

And if the drivers dont need all 5 tickets, then they can be given to others on the day.

Or just give the drivers 3 each, and allocate the rest.

Anyway...too late now. Hope everyone has a good day out tomorrow. I will be in the old Mitsubishi ;)

My boat is in the garage now all washed and ready to rumble.

The boys from UNIGROUP are even coming for a look and crew.

TO4Z POWWARS.

A drag day should run the motor in nicely.

SWEEEEEEEEET.

How did everyone go today?

I think they are probably still there.......

Here are a few pics that I took earlier. I have no idea who's cars they are or even if they were with the Drifter crowd adjacent to the drags......

Bob.

So much fun and everyone was great, I got a 12.334 which I think was my fastest, 60 ft was 2.273 and speed was 124.27 mph.

Dang that was fun, but bloody hot.

Thanks guys and girls.

    • I mean this in no disrespect to u mate; Are there clear tagged examples/explanations in our SAU forum for example, in my interest, this is how to do R34 Gtt suspension the right way? U guys did so much taking risks with experimentation that deserves recognition and those results helps us morons take the RIGHT path to buy quality / buy once. 🍻
    • Pretty much what you'd expect at that power level. Hypergear turbo, long list of supporting mods, full Haltech catalogue, etc.  I'd say this goes for most drivers, suspension is still a dark art for most people. And it's really hard to convince someone how much better their setup could be...  
    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
