For all those who have been blind for the past 6 weeks or so. A groups of us are heading to the drags tonight at Willowbank near Ipswich. Generally we will be meeting at 6:30-6:45 and race till 9pm. Should get a good number of runs in so come along.

$28 gets you in to race and a passenger as well.

Not a bad turn up, Me, Mick,Slip, MRE, BOOSTMEISTER, Birty, Nismogirl and her quiet partner and a couple of others that I didn't see. Also a guy called Ken in an R34. I ran against him on my last run, I had him all the way then he blew past me about 40 meters from the line and did me by about 0.026. me 14.813 him 14.787. Mick's best was 14.167 so we are continuing our trend of a new personal best each new meet.

Anybody want some TEIN suspension ???? "NOT SUITABLE FOR DRAG"......13.8 Last night but 13.7 is my best so far. My mate in his 180 ran a 13.2 with much less power than me but he has excellant suspension for drag.

I am aiming for a 12 for Jamboree....

Thanks for everyone for turning up, sorry I was late and couldn't spend much time meeting you guys. Next time

Yeah I feel the same cam, but oh well, i love putting her through corners, it's the price we pay I guess.

Oh well, i'll be there next time though. I think I can at least get into the 14's even with the suspension though, just need a good launch. Although....a VG30 Turbo wouldn't hurt :uh-huh:

Yep swap ya my stock suspension for it :(

Cam just put the stockers on with a high profile tire with lower pressure :( that way its still street trim :)

I have Tein springs in my car its very stiff and i got 2.1 60ft's which i could easily better with a new clutch.

All thoes jap cars you seen run street legal slicks.

Thanks man, thats basically what I am going to do....

Stock springs and shocks

17" rims with either, NITTO 555R, Yokohama AVS Sport or AZENIS.

New single plate brass button clutch.

That should be good enough to get me into the 12's with pump fuel.

Willowbank Results

93 R33 SkyLine GTSt 2-Door Auto.

K&N Pod no Other Mods.

60ft 2.377

330ft 6.511

1000ft 12.863 @ 115.91 K.P.H

For a StockSkyline Auto I am very happy with the times and can only improve with a better exhaust, 2 stage boost 6/12 and a front mount intercooler.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
