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.

    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
