Andrew,

I agree it was a shambles Saturday night - the number of vehicles was more than what is normal (both with Comp and Street cars), but it is not a case of the facility not being able to cope - we have twice that number at Comp Meets. The problem is that we have absolutely no idea of how many cars are going to turn up to Street Meets, where we do with Comp Meets and that way we are prepared.

To ensure this will not occur again we are changing our next Street Meet to Sunday 4th May whereby we will open the gates at 9.00am and start racing at 10.00am. This way if a large number of vehicles turn up we can run all day - and even all night if need be! Everyone will get the amount of runs that they are happy with! I hope that this solution meets with your approval and you will continue to frequent the Street Meets and get some real runs in.

Regards

Anna Micheel

So it looks like we get a whole day AND night of racing for $50. It will be interesting to see how many people turn up for the next one!

Also I have the videos of 2 of my runs, and more importantly of John's Aus record run at My Yahoo Briefcase .... will upload more soon

hehe Matt you noticed .... it looks good to I STOLE it, so there :)

Funny you guys should talk about 'buggering it up' - here is an excerpt from the email I sent to AIR yesterday:

----------------------------------------------

As I'm sure you can understand that I am unhappy at paying $50 to wait around all night and only have a couple of runs. Most of the Skylines Australia group were there and feel the same - we went out for a night of fun and had a miserable night. One of the Skylines waited over 2 hours for scrutineering (due to the drag line blocking entry to the scrutineering area - before they widened it to 4 lanes after complaints) and he only got 1 run (which he messed up anyhow). Needless to say he is VERY upset with the system!!!!

I spoke on the phone to Anna Micheel earlier today. She was very understanding & helpful about the whole situation :mad: Needless to say I'm in for free next meet.

I also chatted with her about future events & running fortnightly s/meets come next summer! We quickly touched on our private meet as well, specifically the spectators issue. I'll update further within the drag day thread.

I gave up and rang AIR 2day, they said they sent me an Email but I didnt get it. After about 10minutes on the phone they finnaly gave in and gave me free entry to the event aswell. Its amazing what can happen when a few people voice there opinions on a certain matter. in the end we all win.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
