Well what can i say...

hmm...

40 cars racing +

another 30 odd spectators +

fine weather

=

The first Annual Drag Challenge between SAU-Vic and the WRX Club of Vic a total success.

Thanks to all who came along today to Heathcote Park Raceway.

It was a superb day. I really enjoyed myself even though i wasnt racing!!!

Track temp was a little down and this was clearly reflected in the times as almost everyone on average we a few 10th's off what they should have been in general.

But it was great to see a lot of first timers, and even the ladies out there having a go.

So post up your pics/thoughts and whatever else you feel like blurting out :ban:

cheers - ash

Well done and big thanks to all the the organisers.

It was a heap of fun. I've only dragged road bikes before at Calder a couple of times many many years ago and once at Heathcote last year and on those days all I did is wait for hours for a run. 10 seconds of fun every couple of hours.

This day was awesome, you could basically have a run when ever you felt like it. The opportunity to truely do long term damage to the whole car.

It'd be good if we could squeeze another one of these in this later in the year. :ban:

Had a great time there today, the track was maybe a little off its best in my opinion, went a best of 12.3/114, just a bit off the PB for the car (R32 GT-R, Z1LLA plates).

Lots of nice cars out there. Look forward to participating in a few more club events this year.

Thanks to those who organised it. Was well run.

I like the way your car launch mate, all you need is a good clutch and some more boost, looking strong on the run.

My clutch was dead before the end of the day :

but suprisingly my car ran its best time with two people in the car, and a dead clutch

lol, mods are in progress, so it better be ready for the next drag day :ban:

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
