Hey..

Is anybody interested in creating a group run to Heathcote Drags on Sunday 1st June??

Well I've never been myself, but apparently Heathcote is a bit quieter than Calder and allows you more runs and less hectic. Last time at Calder I only got about 4 runs in, and would have liked more time to practice my launches and things in getting a more decent 13sec run. Friday night @ Calder also isn't ideal in terms of getting there early from work and things like that (for me at least)

Heathcote is about a 110km drive north from Melbourne and not far from Bendigo. Would make a great day trip for spectators, and those that want to run... leave 8am or so, get there 9-10am or so and spend the rest of the day prepping our cars and hopefully getting in some 10+ runs.

Anyway, its not a definitive plan *as yet* however just seeing who would be interested.

p.s. doesn't have to be 1st June as they are every 2 weeks on the Sundays.. just my suggestion.

I wouldn't mind coming along if I can... Never been to a meet/cruise - dunno if this would be the best place to meet SAU members (distance) but it'd still be good fun!

I'm always driving to my parents farm which is 10mins this side of Heathcote (was actually gonna have a look at the drags last time I was down there...no time.)

Car's not modified, but wouldn't mind seeing what I can achieve before playing with things though.

If u get your cooler in by then.. should be interesting. Will u have your license back by then? :D

I want to try on my stockie wheels..maybe even some octane booster. I just want time to be able to stop, try this, try that, and have a few runs and experiment a bit without waiting for 40 mins just for another run. So hard at calder!

cooks44: if it goes ahead, it would be something like meet in melb, travel up to Heathcote togther, drag for the day, and then come back to melb later that night. Maybe even stop at the pub for a couple of beers before heading back.

I maybe interested if my car is ready by then to run again.

The last 2 times I've been out to Heathcote was for the LS1 private meet (the 1st one got rained out) and there were 50 cars and Emre managed to do over 20 runs over the 2 sessions.

Great value for money.

oh well.. we'll have SAU vs XXX then ..even better :O doesn't matter... we're never going to get the track to ourself. I will ring them soonish and find out further details.

As long as there is at least 4-5 cars interested (which it sounds like)...worth doing I think.

I'd be interested in going up again later in the month... I'm busy that weekend though.

BTW - If you've got 183rwkw you should have plenty left. When I had 183rwkw, I ran 106mph!

It is MCCR that is also going to heathcote but its ok cause they are doing it this month - 24/25th May! *wipes forehead and looks for Solo can*

Will the price for us be similar to this?

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
