Wed Night Drags Next Week - Anyone Going?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if we have any of the SAU guys heading down to the plex this Wed?

I am heading down to help introduce a friend of the family to the right place to go racing either with his newly purchased R33 gtst or my bunky R32 GTR.

Be good to say g'day to any of our fellow skyline crew. :thumbsup:

Should be getting cooler as the evening sets in regardless, the forcast was for high 30's.

Will say g'day sidewayssam if I see you, I will either be there with a mate of mine and his R33 (blue colour with a large wing) helping him with his first time at the drags or in my bunky R32 GTR. The GTR is midnight purple with tiny stock R32 gtst rims and no wing.

i think its gunna be around 40, definitely no good for drags. I'm looking at going on the 9th with a few guys if interested (weather permitting)

Temp will drop down to mid/low 20's by the time you need it to. If you have traction issues then the lower power due to ambient temps being higher earlier in the night can help you get a handle on things before power jumps up later in the evening.

As a result some of my better times over the years on crappy street tyred cars have been done when the mercury has been in the mid to high 30's.

If you have some decent tyres (deflate the ones you have for better launch) then you should be into mid 12s pretty easy, I noticed you have the better part of 300rwhp.

yeah i'll might be there trying to hit a mid 14 with my mostly stock skyline i got a FMIC, exhaust and a pod, last time i went i got a 14.9 but with a 0.7 reaction time.

If the pod is unsheilded, it's probably part of the problem. reaction time doesn't effect your 1/4mile time by the way. Reaction time is the time it takes for you to break the beams after the green light. Once the beam is broken (ie: your car is moving forward) the time for you pass starts.

Your 60ft time is a good indication of how well you are launching, a 2.1 sec or better time is what you want to try and get.

Will try and say hello , what does your car look like?

oooo did not know that about the reaction times, my car is a red r33 gts looks pretty stock with stock rims, im gonna try to do some work to it over the holidays.

I did consistant low 13's years ago with an R33 gtst, not very hard. You can get into 12's if you run decent tyres.

That was with the stock turbo at 10psi / stock intercooler / stock ecu with a S-afc II /lightweight flywheel and turbo back exhaust. On tiny 205 stock sized tyres.

bro nuthing wrong with the hks,it might not make huge numbers but is responsive and good quality,ive been thinking about kkr myself but turbos that cheap?, there has to be sumthing wrong with them,if i spot your car tonight il come say hello,ps you wana sell 2540 let me know il slap it on my rb20,

my last car was r33 with the same mods,,and the best i got was 14.2,after like 10 runs,never tryd letting tyres down tho,might give that ago with my 32,ive noticed over the last couple of weeks most stockish r33s struggle to even get mid 14s,and most 32s are even slower than that,makes me scared to think my 32 might run a 15,no!

I'll probably head down in a couple of weeks to benchmark the 30+small turbo before my baby comes off the road for the GT35R install :)

I'd be hoping for a low 13! but who knows.. will be interesting to see what the 30 does with the 3.9 ratios..

Makes 245rwhp @ ~4600rpm on 12psi (full boost by 2200rpm).. anyone like to take a guess on what it might do down the 1/4?

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
