We are in and paid...but not on Adams list on the 1st page...

This is the debut of the new set-up...11 months in the making...detuned for Stacey running pump fuel, low boost, federal street rubber and no NOS...will be fun and enough to see her running a low 11 sec pass...after lunch we may wind a bit more into it if all is going well and see if she can run a high 10 and get booted.

Good to hear you guys will be there. Best of luck with the new set up :wave:

Any particular reason for using the Federal tyres and not the M/T's?

Stace prefers a bit of tyre slip on launch, the M/T's will bite too hard and bog the engine. The federals are a lot more stable in the side wall which does not cause the car to "wander" as much. The Mickey's will be on hand if needed later in the day.

Some info.

Skylines = 18

68 mustang = 1

Toyota Cresida =1

Nissan 200SX = 2

Commodores = 19

HG - HQ - HX = 3

I thought i would pop in here to say hello & thank the skyline club members for showing support for the March 25 Skylines Vs V8owners drag day.

To answer a few questions.

Spectators

Tickets will be issued at the meeting point to all drivers. It will be left to the drivers to issue tickets to spectators.

Meeting point

The meeting point will be either the Shell service station or the Pit Stop Tavern. This will be confirmed early next week

Meeting times

The confirmed meeting times will be posted early next week. It is VERY important that nobody is late. Tickets can only be issued at the meeting point NOT at the track. This is a firm rule that WSID has, see quotation from rules below"

"It is the responsibility of The Hirer to

distribute tickets to participants before the Track Hire. Tickets are not permitted to be distributed within WSID on the day of

the Track Hire."

Drivers swapping vehicles

This is not allowed under any circumstances. This is allowed under ANDRA rules however it is against WSID rules.

Catering

We have hired the Lions Club as caterers for the day. They will have breakfast & lunch with tea, coffee & drinks all day. You will have to pay for the items they are not free. Please spare a few $$$ as a donation to help the sick children if you can.

Drivers briefing

A driver briefing will be held at the start line prior to the first run of the day, This is compulsory for all drivers to attend.

Can't wait for the day, i will get a chance to run my commodore naturally aspirated for the first time with the new motor.

Many thanks to all the participants & see you on the day.

Peter.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
