WSID Street Meet - Wed 9th March 2005

[ECR033]

Since the last street meet was a wash out, i'm aiming to get out there next Wednesday 9th March instead - hopefully the weather holds out and I can get close to posting a mid 13 this time round

Anyone else interested in going??

On a side note, I read in some WSID newsletter that got sent the other day that they are now supposedly separating V8's from Sport Compact class cars (i.e 4's, 6's and Rotaries) at their street meets. I guess this explains why I was always in the same lane in pre-staging the other week...

Additionally, I also read that you can reserve a staging lane (typically for car clubs etc) if you want to pair off amongst yourselves during the night. I'm not sure if this has always been the case, but even so, it would be an interesting night if we could get a large group of Skylines (or imports) facing off throughout the night. If there's any interest, maybe we could look to organise something in the upcoming months...when it gets a little cooler:)

Hope to meet some of you out there next Wednesday.

Brenden.

I was bummed about last night as well...Let's hope the heaven's are nice to us next week...

I heard last time I was out there that even if you get a car club to WSID one night, you just let the guys know & they'll try to set up the drags to comply with club...I was impressed... :headspin:

Anyways, don't know who you guys are but I might meet some of you out there...

Weather looks ok today...

Sounds like it'll be a good meet - so hopefully there'll be a good representation of Skylines out there.

interesting question...

my helmet mysteriously found it's way into my car so I guess I'd better spectate, as I'd look like a bit of a tool sitting in the stands with a helmet on

one question. Does anyone have a tyre pressure gauge I could borrow? I have a really nice snap-on one that a friend bought me for my birthday, but I can't for the life of me find it

anyway, if anyone who's coming could bring one with them, please pm me and I'll give you my mobile number.

I'm not going - ran out of time chasing burnout rubber for Powercruise.

Call Peter Colburn (The guy with the yellow mazda wagon with the photos) on 42617793 and ask him to send you the photos COD. Much easier.

damn...didnt know your going richard........

wanted to spectate for this one......actually went to the spectators entry than I got a call from home and had to leave asap......

[ECR033]

Bit of an up an down night for me...

Did set a PB on the one run I got a sub 2.3 60' time which is good (considering the crappy tyres I've got), but the knock reading on my PFC went through the roof on the next run, so I decided to park it and spectate for the rest of the night. Tuner will be getting a phone call tomorrow...

In detail,

R/T: .369

60': 2.289

330': 6.014

660': 9.017

mph: 82.59

1000': 11.604

ET: 13.783

MPH: 103.48

Saw quite a few nice Skylines out there tonight...a white R33 GTST running mid 11's and 2 nice looking GTR's caught the eye. Sorry I didn't catch up with any of you...spent half the night with my girlfriend and parents who decided to come and watch at the last minute.

[benm]

I only did 1 run tonight. Had trouble engaging 2nd and 3rd gear so I parked it for the tonight and will be visiting the mechanic tomorrow.

It drives perfect on the street and circuit but lately doesn't like being dumped at 5,000rpm 5x in a nite

Good to see a couple of new GTR faces out there

[Robo's]

I have trouble with the 2nd to 3rd shift whenever i do a burnout in 2nd gear. When i do a burnout in 1st gear, i never miss a shift, only with the 2nd gear burnouts, go figure!!

[Blitz]

I was having second thoughts, and in hindsight probably shouldnt have run as my coils and clutch are now finished.

Oh the joy of modification

[Abo Bob]

What did you run Nick?

[Beer Baron]

Good to see Benm and NXTIME out there.

I got a few runs in, and managed a 13.010 at 103 mph. Car ran as high as 108mph so when I learn to pilot it better I should be able to get the 12.XXX I want.

Was great fun to line up against nick and FTR we came off 1 win each

Mason mate. I take it you have the PFC in monitor mode with the peak hold switched on? You will find that the huge knock reading is from when you started the car with the peak hold still on. try this. switch car on, turn on peak hold, turn car off, now turn car back on and you'll see knock of like 80+. clear the peak hold (but leave it on) and now do a run. My worst knock reading was 30 something and that's with a 7000rpm launch...
