Is there a official thingie with the fastest times run, I had a ball I've got 124mph speed but old man launch skills, wheel spin or tramp take your pick, the best time was 12.334 so there is a lot more in it, count me in for next time for sure.

Might even buy some proper tyres.

Awesome day. Sure I'm a little burnt but it was worth it. Some of you guys were laying down some good repeatable times. I'll be posting pics in here all week, so don't be afraid to check back often :)

Thanks to all the guys who organized the day, it's was awesome.

First time I take the r32 gtr out on an event like this, was nervous but got over it.

My Best time 12.2 @114mph( mods: twin plate, turbos and 15psi)

My cousin's r35 gtr, was 11.8 (standard aus spec)

What happened to all the cars? There was like 20 cars dragging?

I feel so bad for the driver of that r33 gtst, I hate seeing accidents in skylines.

Many Many thanks to all the folks that put in the hard yards on these things. I know I'm going to miss a few of you folks that were a great help today but thanks to AggroDave, Ben, Sean, Sloane, Mitch, Liz and all the other folks that really helped out today.

Our sausage sizzle litterally fed an army today!

Oh, and my PB was a 12.77. Still having some issues with spark blowout on high boost and to be honest crap tyres that I'm just trying to wear out. I'm sure there's a low 12 in the car so I'll have to get back out there some time again soon.

what a great bunch of rev heads and a top day. thanks to all who organised the day.

gee what fun wearing leathers on a day like today.

i was pretty pleased during my 35 runs, i managed to knock off about 7, 10.2 @140mph on the R1

the clutch seems difficult to master, i either got wheel spin, bogged down and on a few passes just perfect.

im sure its got a 9 in it with a good rider.

thanks again to all and i will be at the next one forsure......... great value

Great day and some nice cars out there!!

Did 9 runs then called it a day as the clutch was telling me to ease up :/

Managed a best of 12.001 @ 116.09mph 60ft 1.748 on my 7th run, so didn't need an andra licence! :D

Another fantastic event organised by SAU:NSW. Well done to all involved.

I had 10 runs in the first hour then enjoyed the BBQ. Then I managed 22 runs in the last 1.5 hours :) Could have run 70 times if I wanted to, but I couldnt be bothered with the heat. :D

At one point I could swear I was circuit racing!

So much value for money ;) When's the next one??

I don't think any car got into the 10's either...maybe next time ;)

What you found a corner? :P

didnt show as i didnt figure there was much point with an underpowered stock R33 but it sure sounds like you guys had a blast, might have to check in on the next one. how many of these do you have a year?

oh and spitting chips i missed out on a free snag >_<

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
