hey guys what a awesome day well done to everyone to all you guys I know i had a ball and said at the begining of the day id be stoked to get anywhere in the 13's but to get to a 13.444 now im just hanging out for that 12 second pass LOL (The bug has got me).

Just one question who is Matt???????

Scott..

good work guys, i am keen to get out to WSID now... but an injector started leaking today so I thats the 4th problem in a week, cant wait to get out there.

Chris, flat 12 is so awesome!

Adrian, consistency!

B-man, you got an 11 coming your way, she will come.

R33vit, a 12 is nice what power do you have?

It's good to see all these nice RB's hitting the streets after everyone has put the hard yard's in, it seems the last few weeks they have really been coming together!

Once Brett and Merli get out there SAU is definately going to be a huge force....

BTW, anyone got a spare skyline badge for me? :)

BF GOODRICH Drag Combat brought to you by BF GOODRICH where BF GOODRICH gave away $1000 of BF GOODRICH tyres and Gary Meyers killed a couple of sets of BF GOODRICH tyres given to him by his sponsor BF GOODRICH was pretty crappy in my opinion. Great times, great cars, but boy did [cabin]'s organisation stink again. Massive breaks, the commentators had no idea what was going on, and so on. It was very dissapointing especially compared with other great events that have been on at WSID so far. [cabin] needs to sit down and have a good think before the next event.

Reading this thread makes me miss Sydney... well done on the times guys!

When does Drag Combat come to Vic, some healthy NSW v Vic competition would be fun, and i can put a few ppl up for the weekend... in Brunswick East.

Was the management of the event better then the first round, more cars then before????

I kept falling asleep because of the breaks, the chaos over the eliminations ladder, the timing gear breaking down, and the delays which put the programme ~2 hours behind schedule kinda made it crappy.

But a strong SAU contingent made the day great. Great meeting new people from the forums, and then (cause we are all in the same class) racing against them was tops - the people made the event. Brett's some sort of SAU Drag mascot - was there to lend a big hand, storage and tools facility all in one.

Breaking my drag racing hymen was kinda funny too, I was expecting to be all nervous with the crowd + having no idea but it was actually very relaxing. I only got aggitated from not being able to do a burnout (the advice of "touch the breaks" left me stalling the car, have decent pads in the back for track work) and launching pretty damn sad. Heh the aggression paid off, with me flatchanging off the revlimiter + eventually damaging the shifter. Highly recommend doing it again, i think an SAU streetmeet would crap all over the DC event.

We call him "Bobbo". He ended up with my tools, I have Stacey's pressure guage, Scott has my torch and someone ate my Mars Bar.... wait.....that was me.... :)

And he's MY pit bitch so back off or i'll scratch ya eyes out! :)

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
