It doesn't surprise me that the WSID website has old information on there. They were probably too busy rewoking the private track hire rules that they have recently published. :D

I hope you're right NXTIME.

I just looked at the list now and it looks like it has been updated...now 24 cars in total :)

I still haven't got around to entering yet, but will do so next week. I just hope the event gets the numbers otherwise it's going to fall on it's arse and be another slap in the face for SC in this country.

Despite the very low competitor list that is currently on the WSID website, I know that there are quite a few more cars that will be entering this week. Alot of them are also coming from interstate.

That's good news then :)

TWO new PRO RWD cars making their debut!

Even better news :)

Here's hoping that the event is a big success.

I personally enjoy watching all types of drag racing (and motorsport in general), but SC is the only hope I'll probably ever have of actually competing which is half the beauty of the concept and which is why I'm going to enter. I know this is probably true for the majority of people on here, so if you're thinking about having a go, just get in there and enter :D

handed out approx 300 flyers at Autosalon today premoting the event....will hand out the remaining 200 tomm. hopefully we have some competitors/spectators amongst them

Because your racing against more fancied opposition ....why do footballers want to play 1st grade????

That's it. It's all DYO anyway, as long as you can qualify in the top 8 or top 16 cars.

What times did you run, PORTS?

Do you HAVE to run slicks in Sport Mod, or are you allowed to if you choose to?

Best run a ball tearing 15.952, a PB for the sled, worst run was a 16.154, six runs in all.. :D

Last 18 runs have all been between the above times. Think i'll DYO a 15.9 for the dragwarz. I'm not sure about slicks, as this will be my 1st event of this type, so running semis.

do you realise 14.5 is the qualifying cutoff for sport rwd and slicks are not permitted....you'll have to race in et2 bracket. It would be worth your while to consult the rule book if planning to run next Saturday.

EDIT: they have either botched your entry or you have a very sluggish PRO RWD car....as they have you in with PAC and Dalton's...good luck

    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for
