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 ;)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
