wierd... expensive tho $550 to get a 'tag lock down system' installed...

interesting idea tho... wonder how it works with AWD... and the weight/aero part of it?

what the fark is with that gay video of those girls dancing around??!?

Also:

"With a racing membership, each vehicle is set up in Drag Tag’s workshop where it is weighed, and the frontal area and drag coefficient from the car's manufacturer entered into a computer. Using this information, we are able to assign a carefully-calculated air resistance equation."

Haven't had my car on it mate...would love to though.

From what I've seen, the results are incredibly accurate compared to others' real-world drag times.

I need to find the photos of the Linux arrays running the thing. The number crunching is in-farking-sane!

Adrian, are you affiliated in any way with Drag Tag? Just would like to know if the opinion is unbiased.

Without airflow how is the engine, brakes, etc. cooled?

With 4wd cars how can you turn the wheel? As i have seen some close calls if the wheels are not kept straight.

I've been exposed to it and its development in various ways for a couple of years. I don't work for them and they're interstate! :O My employer has advertising at their premises and vice versa.

It's just a cool concept. Skip the drag racing component for a sec and think of the driver training aspect. Controlled environment driver education in real world situations. Great idea with heaps of promise.

I support any idea that increases driver training and road safety and gets the fast cars racing where they should be.

Brake cooling etc..... dunno. I'd send em an email. Every question I've ever asked has been answered promptly and sensibly.

Great.............

Would be good to get some answers. For 2wds the front brakes wont matter as they are stationary, but the rears may get a little warm :D.

The concept is great, hopefully it kicks off for them.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
