I'm stoked, I got a 14.507 @ 91.6mph on low boost (9psi) in the morning with a fair bit of knock due to the heat (it was already close to 30degC at around 10.15am). This was my second run, and I've never dragged before.

In the arvo with the cooler weather, I did a few more runs in low boost to check for knock, then went for it in high (12psi) and got my best run of a 13.817 @ 95.23mph on my second last run.

Not bad for an RB25DET Stagea with minimal mods (full exhaust, return-feed FMIC, PowerFC, EBC and fuel pump) running an otherwise standard engine and turbo. I wish I'd remembered to check the weight during scruitineering, but it would quite easily top 1700kgs.

Massive thanks to all the SAU-NSW Exec crew (Eric, Dave, Duncan, Liz, Shell, Steve-O, etc.) and our volunteer support network (BenM, Sean, Mitch, etc.) for putting this together.

Also thanks to our very own Tats for the commentary throughout the day, he sounded much more professional than I did over the PA system

Funnist moment in there-

Me " just a little lower Louise"

Bahahaha. I still find that funny!! Lol

Thanks to all for a great day, well run.

Only had eleven runs due to the heat, car run like a swiss watch all day, worst run was my first with a 12.7, best was a 11.3.

took plenty of pics and vid, will post up later. :thumbsup:

BIG Thanks to Dave and the SAU team for hosting such a great day cant wait till the next 1(if i can come again)

Ran 11.4 on the fist run on low boost then 11.7 on the 2nd but the block split half track witch ended my day

Highlight off the day was watching the silver Skyline with the Microtech sticker on the side off it running a 12 at 130mph this thing was sideways from the start to the finish line he must have big balls to drive something like that

Thanks again Todd (Black Dato 1600)

Was a great day me and my wife were there for the nissansilvia.com drifting,

But we spent half our time watching the drags, one of the best days out we've had in a while

I thought I saw you out there, but wasn't sure if it was. You were both wearing black?

Thanks to SAU:NSW for organising a great event, shame the car called it quits just before lunch (silver 1600).

Had 4 and a half runs, best was the very first one of 11.6 @ 123mph 1.8 60ft

Best mph was 125

Awesome to be able for have 4 runs within an hour, compared to 1 run per hour on Wednesday nights.

Aww really you should have said hi, yeah that was us, I don't own anything that's not black, I was there with my new 200sx Im considering buying a track only s13 or r32 for drifting now

Nice one Pete :) I better pull my finger out and run a decent number in the 200 or your going to catch and pass me :D

Not likely mate. 2 second 60fters for the rest of the runs

Speaking of Pro street towing......Joe towed me back home after I broke my cv - nice guy to come out on a nice Sunday afternoon

I hear from him the car is back at UE for the injectors - had mind put in an tuned on the Thursday night.

YOU MOFO'S WANT SOME PICS???

If you entered and arrived on the day you'll have a disc sent to you in about a fortnight. Until then here's a a few to keep you going :D

LOLvo

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
