Calder Night Drags - Fri 27th Oct - Cancelled


Recommended Posts

Would like to have an SAU drag night at Calder Park Rwy, on Friday night, the 27/10/06.

If we enter as a club there is a $10 dicount for entrants, and we get to park with the "comp cars", and possibly get more runs. Not sure if there will be any dicounts for spectators, but will ask.

To enter as a club, i need names and car model from people that are definately interested. So post up if you intend to come and have a heap of fun. :)

NOTE: This is not an "offical" SAU VIC event, but i still class all SAU forum members as a club.

Competitor list:

- Alan Calleja R33 GTS-t

Can NON MEMBER run since its not an offial SAU event?

Good idea Al.

It sucks coming back up the gravel lane. The 'comp' cars get it easy returning on the track.

It's about time Bob Jane spent some money to fix it up a bit I reckon!

I can't make it thought cos I'm in perth.

Hope you all enjoy it.

    • 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.
