Well done Todd and the Club Execs for organising the event.

in the end, great turnout and a bloody great afternoon.

yes it started late but that was out of our control.

with 30 cars running, there was never a long lineup between runs - I got 11 runs in and left at 4pm.

looking forward to the photos, cheers

Thanks everyone for coming out, we ended up with about 26 people from memory, everyone had a blast from what I can tell, everyone was EXTREMELY well behaved, so thanks for that :D - there were only a few mishaps with the cars, not as many if it were a hot day, so i'm thankful it became cooler.

Thanks to the guys (and girls) from Bundy who made the trip, sorry I didn't get to talk to you more :( I hope you'll make the journey again for a skidpan or something (which is much closer to you in Gympie) hahaha

NICE JOB TODD!!!!! And from memory, I think you beat a couple RB25's yeh? hahahahahaha :)

I definitely want to do another day soon WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T BREAK :) :lol:

Cheers again guys :worship:

Thanks to you guys for organising this event. I had a ball, and it was my first time down the strip as well. It's a shame my clutch didn't enjoy the day as much as I did and I only ended up doing 4 runs, but I enjoyed every second :worship:

Spewin I didn't get into the 13's tho :) Missed it by 0.049!!

Can't wait for the next one! :)

yeah we had heaps of fun!!! i much prefered our time then when gates opened to public thats when it got crappy lol

best i could get 13.1 @ 114mph then clutch started giving away :worship:

Oh-yes I did, 33&34 varieties Ended up doin 14 runs lol 20 FTW,

Super special thanks to the treasurer-Anna who was a major part in the day going ahead with her tireless work taking payments for the day.

Another big thanks to QR for allowing us to use the track and all the marshals who ran it for us.

Everyone was extremely well behaved which is testament to the great bunch of members & guests we have acquired.

I love this club-I really do-you guys & gals all rock :laugh:

Ha!! Due to brand new tyres and a new EBC, I did better my best time by 0.1sec down to a 13.5 but should have done a lot better.

Tim, to give you an idea of the potential in my car, my trap speed on the good run was 192.6kph!!! If I could get it off the line, it would be low 12's

Best: 13.529 ET @ 171.57 KPH (106.61 MPH)

Thanks fella's, but I hav already penned you both down for a 13.529+2=15.529 which all will see and that clearly shows that my 20 won baahahahaha :rofl:

More seriously Dave, try to get some Slicks on you stock rims for the next Drag Day and do that car justice will you :P , by being able to sit a bit higher in the rev range and to let rip off the line I think will surprise you (maybe 11's) cause its sure got some stick once moving I'll lay testament to that :( .

Tim, that car rocks dude :domokun: , has given me a target 4 the next 1 by matchin your time ;)

BULLSHIT!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
