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.

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
