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...

hmmm....better go out and have a go before the semester gets too hectic....and before I get some more power :cheers:  

most probably spectate though....check it out first.

What time do I need to be there by ?

Scrutineering starts at 5pm if you're racing...with racing starting from 6pm.
You racing or spectating, Richard?

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 :cheers:

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 :P

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.

oi can any1 get the photos of my car from the lady with the yellow wagon, rego EAV00L

there 10 bux each but ill fix you up if you can buy them 4 me

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.

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.

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 :P

Good to see a couple of new GTR faces out there :)

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 :P

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...

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
