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

RX3 = 1

Commodores = 19

HG - HQ - HX = 3

Torana = 1

Corvette = 3

Datsun Ute = 1

XY = Falcon =1

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.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
