A smaller than expected turnout greeted us for the second annual Nissan Datsun Drag Challenge. Melbourne has had a streak of hot weather of late and Saturday was no different with the mercury climbing past 30 degrees. This didn’t detract the quicker cars with many strong numbers run.

One standout was Mark Waiunhouf’s Nissan 200SX. The tough looking S14a is powered by an RB25/30 combo that’s putting out a cool 700 odd horsepower and is backed by an RB25 5-speed gearbox. Weighing in at over 3000lbs, Mark was in the 10s all day for a best of 10.59/140.

Keir Wilson has quite a reputation when it comes to quick GT-R’s. The R32 is a favourite among many with its super stock looks and killer performance. Keir ran 9.06/158 in eliminations before going an even quicker 8.99/159 on drag radials but unfortunately the car suffered an engine failure in the braking area.

Quick VL’s on the day included Adam Donehue’s RB25 powered Commodore. The car made strong power on the dyno beforehand but was suffering from blow by on his first pass of 10.32/132 and forcing Adam to pack up for the day. John Bresciani had ‘PANNIC’ out once again and found it hard work putting power down through its small 28x9-inch tyres. John ran a very skatey 9.95/147 before improving the BT1 to a 9.33/149 during eliminations. The Rajab Racing Calais took out the B1 quick class and was pretty consistent all day for a best of 8.75/154 during eliminations. Chopa Trtovac’s metallic pink Calais also ran a solo pass of 9.50/146.

Benny Kashima’s High End Racing S14 also ran hard all day in the 10-second zone for a 10.78/131 while Ben Winstone’s ‘DAT13B’ Datsun 1200 ran a personal best of 11.66/119, not bad considering Ben is yet to fit an intercooler to the car. Ben also ran his R32 GT-R for a 12.4-second pass.

    • Ironically the GTT was quite reliable in the 7 years of ownership. From memory I've only had to replace a radiator and coilpacks out of inconvenience 
    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
