hey y'all,

Two questions:

Im thinking of takin my car down to whoop arse wednesdays but am a little shy about it as it is just a NAr33. Just wanna know from all you peepz who have been down, what kind of cars usualli rock up there?? Are we talkin hardcore racers with 10sec time slips or do u get regular street cars such as pulsars and lancers + civics etc. What kindov of crowd usualli rocks up there??

2nd question:

The reason that i want to go down theres is because my mate just got a 94 prelude si, and hes a real ****y bastard with it. Ive been in it and its got sum balls, who do u rekon would win in a drag??? Were both manuals, both stocker and both lower spec engines. ie no turbos or vtec. I realli wanna shut him down but im not to sure wether i can do it. Any tips for preperation???

BTW, takin it to the track cuz we all know street racing is not on.

Dude I had the same questions a couple of weeks ago. Do yourself a favour and just go.

The skill levels vary from the out and out must-be-asleep-at-the-wheel-their-reaction-time-is-so-slow to the professional elite drag racer.

I was originally worried, but seriously, you won't embarrass yourself unless something pops out the top of your hood. Go out there and have fun. It's well worth it.

Trust me when I say this: There are some seriously shit cars racing down at the 'plex, but they're having fun.

Let your tyre pressures down to 20psi.

Keep your RPM at a constant rate just before launching where you know you're just before loss of traction if you dump the clutch.

If you HAVE traction control, turn it off. You (by all accounts) should go faster without it.

Take a motorbike helmet, long sleeved jacket, jeans and shoes.

just go do it man, its good fun (unless you break something) last time i went down i went againt a hyndai lantra with a "TURBO" sticker on it ass end. basicly he ran a 17's all night.

you need a helmet, long pants and sleeve's, and you car's gotta be street legal, no leaks etc.

just do it!!!!

I have had 52 runs in 1 night...

man that was a bad curry

kekeke

anyways dude definately do yourself a favour and go.. its hard to get past all the build up from other guys running 12's etc... cos it makes it seems like its a really really serious evening out.. and you get egged and covered in feathers if you don't crack a 14

but smeh.. nothing beats the first time, driving toward the lane, getting that nervous feeling as you start to doubt the skill that won you ever traffic light grand prix you have entered into. ....

you will love it.

try not to inhale the burnout smoke too much

i farken hope not. just had my clutch replaced abt 20000km ago. Onli thing is, i dont think the jack arse machined my fly wheel...

If i deflate my tyres to 20 psi, is that still safe to drive on all the way home?? or is a there a facility where i can pump them back up to at the motoplex?

ps. somebody gimme sum hope that im not gonna get shitted on by this lude :Oops:

Go and have some fun mate.

Clutch wise just 'drop it'. Sidestepping the clutch at the right rpm and feeding the throttle correctly will minimise wheelspin and the clutch isn't going to get worn out.

Take down the helmet, long sleave shirt and $30 and you can't go wrong :(

If by taking the piss you mean the whole "your car is a rice burning 2.0/2.5/2.6L juice box" vs your "all iron, heavy as shit, 5.0L+ goon bag" then clearly you are endowed with a huge wang which your boyfriend must love. I'm so jealous. I wish I could have a big wang like you. Then i'd be able to feel like a big man posting on forums where clearly nobody gives a flying F**k what you think.

When I grow up, I wanna be just like you.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
