Hi All,

Just a reminder that Drag Wars is on this weekend, so make sure to get down and support the event, either by entering or spectating. This is the last dedicated high-tech event for the year, so make sure you come on down. Details below.

Cheers

Paul

After a successful return to Quit Motorplex last season the popular Street meet for Vehicles powered by 4 cylinder , 6 cylinder and Rotary powerplants returns on Saturday night October 15. A fully prepared track awaits the 140+ Hi Tech racers who will converge on the Quit Motorplex for a bit of quarter mile action with some great trophies and prizes up for grabs!

There are classes for:

.: AWD - All Motor All Wheel Drive

.: FAWD - Forced Induction All Wheel Drive

.: RWD - All Motor Rear Wheel Drive

Note - Depending on entry numbers on the day some brackets may be combined.

There will be trophies and prizes for the quickest time recorded in each of the categories plus trophies and prizes for the winners and runners up in each of the brackets.

This is definately one of the great Hi Tech events of the season and chance for everyone to blow the cob webs out after the winter break.

There will also be a burnout competition with great trophies and prizes for the winner and runner up.

Go to www.motorplex.com.au click on the Hankoon 4,6, Rotory dragwars under events and you'll see a pic of my car :) hehe

I won't be there unfortunately ;) I have a family function on that day.

Has anyone seen any advertising for this event, either on TV, radio, newspapers or flyers? Just wondering how much promotion is being given to Hi-tech events.

pauly, the 1st i heard about the event was here in this thread, i would have made an effort to have my car ready if i knew there was a drag event coming up

I actually heard on the radio last night at the gym, but still think there is a severe lack of promotion of this event. Hopefully we can improve that in the future.

The government wouldn't be happy with that though, having publicised nights dedicated to this sort of thing. It would mean less cars to impound, and less stories for the news about all those young hoons in high performance cars. Today Tonight will be feeding on scraps.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
