Ivan from RPM Performance Centre is planning to hire Adelaide International Raceway for a private test & tune drag day, most likely in mid May.

I spoke with Ivan yesterday (03Apr03) & he is 100% keen. This event WILL go ahead :( He intends on having prizes/trophies up for grabs! The exact format is yet to be decided but we will ensure that EVERYONE has a chance to win i.e it won't be fastest car wins everything.

The number of cars is yet to be decided but it will need to be enough to cover hiring costs, yet not too many that we all don't have plenty of runs each. 40-50 perhaps?

We (SkylinesAustralia SA guys/girls) are the first to be invited (via this thread) but I'm suggesting we included the LS1 guys & possible a limited number of other friendly outsiders :)

So people let me know if you're keen & we can get started on organising & figuring out exact details.

As a rough guide I expect entry to be ~$80 (normal AIR street meet $50) The date will be sometime in May, most likely mid.

It will be either a 1/2 or full day session!

Feedback (from all of you) on this event is welcomed :)

No crowds. Friendly faces. Plently of runs to practice techniques. Prizes & trophies. Good time to have a get together & BBQ too!

I'll start the ball rolling - I'M IN!

Edit: forgot to add - Ivan is intending to have the track prepped too (VHT).

I mentioned you guys (SA LS1.com members) to Ivan & he was happy to include you all. We (SASA) wouldn't have the numbers on our own anyway.

I hadn't posted anything on LS1.com yet as I wanted feedback from here first. Seeing as things are going a tad slow in here you may as well post it up Matt :)

I remember last yr when we tried to get this sort of thing happening we had quite a few interested. This time round I can confirm 100% this is going to go ahead! Unless something out of our control stops it? Track offline for upgrades etc...

Cheers dude.

No dates confirmed yet Erica. I'll chat with Ivan on Sat' or early next wk & see if we can organised a date.

We need to confirm the track is still going to be able to be used in mid May?

No worries dude, will do :uh-huh:

Sounds good! Hard not to pick a non-rainy day in May though :P

Ditto attitude toward passengers (as put foward by Robert) .... *cough* Munro *cough*

Passengers - dunno'? I guess that's up to the AIR staff/safety people - maybe even ANDRA?

The rain possibly was already raised with Ivan, yep it's a concern! We may have to make it a sliding schedule in case of bad weather.

hippy,

I would expect you could be "pit crew" for someone :P

Whoring my own thread here - Just watched "Getaway in Stockholm 1 & 2" for the first time - AWESOME! :P

Drags sounds cool! Might even get Jaffa to 'ave a go :P

Stockholm #3 was a bit so so. #2 was the best - two cars - sick :P

I have a pretty cool mpeg (in japanese) of 7 of Japan's fastest cars having a 5 lap race. Very interesting to see what won ;) If anyone wants a copy, gimmie a blank CDR and i'll fix ya up :)

There is no way passengers are allowed.Reason-Insurance.

The street is for passengers - & you dont have to stop accelerating after 400m either!

I'll probably come if date works for me.

Good to see so many skylines at the drags tonight - even if I didn't get a chance to say hi to everyone.

It appears that there will be monthly Sunday street meets too.

these meetings are not usually so busy - I remember mates doing

18 runs at 1 meeting!!!Bring a full tank & get faster as the day goes on!!!Once I did 3 runs back to back with Uturns from the return lane.Better than lining up all night for 2 goes.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
