RPM Performance - Sat' 31st May Drag Day - post here if intending to enter


Recommended Posts

As you can all see from the thread title change - Ivan has booked us in for Sat' 31st May. It was the first weekend in May AIR had available!

Pricing will follow soon. Naturally the more cars the cheaper it'll be. If the 31st is wet then we'll re-schedule to the following weekend & so on... Hopefully all will still be able to attend if the date has to change due weather.

Nightcrawler, thanx for the forum web address. Must say I've been browsing Skyline web sites for awhile and never come across this one so I'm stoked. What time did you end up running?? Also, you'll have to drop me a line next time you guys go for a cruise.

Munro - i wish it was me in that bracket, I've never got to see a good view of your runs, what with the constant line up. A run next to a 9 second car, at least for the first 60 feet would be awesome!!

32godzilla .... my best run was the first one - a 13.41 @ 104.5mph - 1.932 60' .... the other 2 runs I missed second gear on both :) for 13.816 (to beat a thumping V8 Commodore :) ) & 13.914

For videos of 2 of my runs and 2 of Munros (incl. the Aus record run) go to: http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/andnus2002/l...rc=bc%26.view=l for downloads (sorry about the sizes of the files). Enjoy

Yeah Matt the vids came out pretty well. I loved my launches but was sorry to see you bog down ;) .... you definitely need some :burnout: on your launch!!!

The vids also show how much you pull on me top end - I still can't for the life of me figure out why that is so????

Just goes to show I need to get a cooler in before the drag day :) :shake:

tN^,

I'll put you down on the list I'm keeping mate. Anthony & another GSR/EVO club member are already on it. Ivan is keeping me informed of ALL entries so my list stays up to date.

Cheers,

Matt

Just a thought - has anyone organized a tow truck or recovery vehicle?

might come in handy at some stage, especially with 50 odd cars.

I reckon it would be hard work pushing a car back from right down the end:D

Chris,

I'll add that to the list of things to ask AIR about. They "should" have a vehicle for recovery as part of the track hire fee!?

grepin has volunteered to use his R33 as the tow/recovery vehicle.

As you may recall it's been specifically tuned for that purpose, that Power FC and OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch combo will finally be put to good use.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
