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.

    • 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 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
