Have you ever got an official 1/4 mile drag time, ever wondered what your car would do? and do it legally?

Here's your chance to find out have some fun and maybe win some prizes at the same time.

From speaking to the officials what I can organise is for a special slip lane so we can race Supra V Skyline for the night, or if there numbers are not so high, Skyline V Skyline. If we get enough numbers there may be some minor media attention HPI etc.

What people will have to do is be able to leave Canberra at about 1pm on a Wednesday. This event will be on regardless of numbers and the cost will not change due to numbers. NSW SAU and NSW SUPRA's are most welcome

I will book a date with at least 4 weeks notice. I will be going for some fun and pics.

Please post your interest in this thread.

How the Drags work

Location: Eastern Creek Raceway, Sydney

Time: 5pm Entry and Scrutineering with racing from 6pm to 10pm

Date: Every Wednesday night

Cost: $50 to race

Notes:

Scrutineering from 5pm until 7.30pm (unless 200 car quota filled before 7.30pm)

Important Items to bring: Current Drivers Licence, Long sleeved shirt and pants, Helmet

More information: http://www.wsid.com.au

Each competing vehicle will be entitled to two crew members. Crew members will be required to sign an indemnity and will be issued with wrist bands. This will allow them to accompany the vehicle to the start line area while the vehicle is racing. $20 each or $20 for spectators.

The only open vehicles that will be allowed to compete are street-registered hot rods. (Sorry Michele, you will have to bring the GTS-T

If the vehicle runs quicker than 11.99 seconds the driver is required to hold a current ANDRA licence. You can purchase if/when you run between 11sec and 11.99 sec ($150 I think with a $20 discount applied?). Seriously you will be looking at needing 300kw+ for this. I've been told Ross's 430kw Supra did a 12.7.

All vehicles must have an exhaust system with functional mufflers that will ensure the noise level does not exceed 95db when measured at 30 metres. That is very loud.

I don't even come close to the "needed" power output, but I just want to know what my car can do.

Doesn't have to be serious anyway does it?

So I'm tentatively interested.

Need a date first...

This is just an expression of interest. I'm not going to hold you so it seeing as it will be 2-3 months in the future. Are you interested in taking half a day off work on a Wednesday to drive to Sydney to attend a drag meet. We will probably get home about 1am.

I'm about to get my car back after an 11 month engine rebuild.

It should be run in by then so I am definitely in.

Not really interested in taking it too seriously but would like to know what it is now capable of.

Ill have to organise a time to meet everyone though ;)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
