WSID (Western Sydney) is $45, $5 of which goes into a prize pool for the best 3 reaction times of the night (and also another pool for anyone that gets a 0.000 R/Time).

When busy you'd get a solid 5 runs however over the last 3mths you'd easily get 10 runs in a 5hr session (Wednesday nite).

Calder Park charge $55 -generally you can only get a few runs in because it's always PACKED.

Drift sessions - $100

Open practice - $165

Heathcote (drags) costs around $40 (depending on the size of the group, or type of meet)

IIRC, at AIR (adelaide) on a weeknight 4,6 & rotary meets its $35, and then $50 on the weekends. The two times ive been Ive been able to get 10 runs, and plenty more if I wanted to. Kinda sux when you have cops camping out the front gates on drift meets tho..

just a question because some venus may not have insurance for people on thier p's you must admit it is a bigger risk for a p plater to go down the 1/4 than an open licenced driver

I don't agree with the "Bigger Risk Between p's and opens"... So your saying that some one with a P's who is 23 and has been driving a skyline for 3 - 4 years and had more experience, compared to some one with an Opens, who has only had the car a month and no experience. It seems as though you are biased against P's going down the track ? why is that? and what is the whole point of this thread in the first place ?

no definatly not i am looking at the insurance companys point of view they see some one who has had thier licence for 10 years and no accidents and they lower thier preimums. As oposed to some one who has driven a car for 1-2-3 or 4 years haveing not had much experince behind the wheel thier insurance is higher it is just pure fact

Hence the thought of if you owend a drag strip and had it open to every one your insurance would be higher. As oposed to haveing every one with thier open licence could race on the track and p platers were banned thier insurance would be lower

this situation could happen in the next year i personaly hope it dosent it will kill 1/3 of the sport (i new this would get some peoples backs up but you cant keep every one happy)

and if you dont like the thread dont reply to it . Geting the prices for every drag track in oz and seeing what value for money you get from track to track maby some one from NSW pays 50 bucks for 4 runs while some one from VIC pays 50 bucks and runs all day the person from NSW can put to the track opperator thier complaint about being ripped off

or dont you like money

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      By romel · Posted

      @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?

      Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
