The fact that one of the sponsors on here was stupid enough to run a dyno day on the same day as this event does not help either.
its great to see some skylines on the entrant list guys.

its a shame someone organised a dyno day for the same day, not very well thought out that one.

should be an awesome day

shane

Cheers guys.

147 entries atm. Is that enough or do you need us to cancel our dyno day?

For your information I originally slated the dyno day on a different weekend so as to not clash with Compak Attack but much later and due to pressure from club members who were to be at another event I changed it, forgetting that Compak Attack was on.

So it's my fault.

Also, since I'm here already, people come to dyno days because they are cheap. We get very few high powered cars. I easily won my class last time with 256rwkw.

And another thing, I don't race for spectators or sponsors. I race for fun. I may not be the only one. If the cost per run doesn't add up then my interest wanes. This is why I like private hires, because, as long as I don't break stuff, I will get lots of runs.

I think it was mentioned earlier that you get at least 3 runs in qualifying and one elimination, more if you can race. Well guess what, I can't race. I've had 9 runs in a manual car. I will lose the first chance I get.

I'll stop before I go right off topic but suffice to say that I greatly dislike comments like "stupid" that are directed at me even if you didn't realise they were directed at me.

Cool your heels Abo...it was directed at Penlington not you or Richard...neither of you are a sponsor on here...he is.

I wanted as many cars to both events as we could get...running them on the same day was poor management...if its otherwise please tell me so.

story is hopefully clear now.

No, it was poor management on my part. Not John's fault either. :laugh:

Hey Adam, you should know by now the drag arena is for dcik swinging, gun toting w@nkers. Where political correctness or manners are forgotten in the pursuit of the almighty ego.

p.s. Hope to be back in the drag ranks soon!

True, true.

Regarding the NZ method; don't you think there is a big difference between say, a 12.9 and a 12.0? I mean barring stuffups, the faster car will always win.

I guess people will then build a car not just to go fast but not to go too fast do you think? Like if I'm running high 12's and then make some improvements to get down close to 12.0 I wont bother trying to get 11.9 in competition because I'll be too far away from the guys running 11.0.

If you were running an 11.9 I'd say it would be easier dropping boost back a notch or two so you can run in the 12.00 range. Cars running flat out don't seem to be consistant at all, notice how some people qualify a second faster than their dial in?

Other than sandbagging it to run DYO or a x.00 time, only other thing to do is man up and go alot faster... so you can sandbag that bit harder!

Ah ok. I guess I was just looking at Adrians consistency like it was normal.

Had a great day yesterday :)

Managed a best of 12.05@117 in qualifying for SRWD, then in my first ever elimination race, managed to pull off a win which was a bit of a buzz. I actually backed off towards the end and just shaded the racer next to me over the line running a 12.10@109 on a 12.05 dial in with a 0.04 R/T (also my best 60' of day - 1.71), so there may have been an 11 there...who knows. Ended up stuffing the start on the next round though and lost out, but it was fun!

well done to 2rismo and Taryn for winning SFWD

Awesome work mate, well done!

Thanks again for the help yesterday, it was much appreciated. Shame I couldn't covert some of your advice consistently on the track, but I'll get there eventually with some more practice :)

Cheers,

Brenden.

Nice one, well done!

If my eyes weren't deceiving me, I think I also saw the MX-5 (nfs13b?) run a 9 during the grudge runs later in the night. I can't remember the exact time or mph (I was staging up for a run behind you), but if so, well done also!

Lee ran a 9.88 @ 134 with a 1.43 60 footer on radials!! Awesome stuff from a nugget with a broken gearbox (supposedly). Grydge runs saw 1st and 2nd gear come back and the car took off like a bullet. Awesome stuff! :)

I loved caning the GTi's and Pulsars but they were all top blokes and great sports.

Well done to the bowling club special on the 9, the win and the championship!!

This was the most relaxed days drag racing i think i've ever had.

Yes, well done to NFS13B, running a 9.8@134.

Well done to Shane on his 9 sec grandpa-spec pass :)

How did the GTR's go?

It was also unfortunate to hear that BLODIS RX3 had a major crash, as well as Micks Motorsport's car.

Adrian, SFWD win?? hahaha

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
