rotormaster and pac performance were awesome to watch. Massively quick cars. Pacs mx6 on its first pass in the day did a launch and then shut off but managed a 1.0 60 foot which as u people would know is really chomping. massive potential left in that car.

it was an awsome weekend, my mate Nick ran a new PB on both days ending up with a best of 12.04 @ 110MPH in his VR4 powered GSR. He made it too the 3rd round but was beaten by the gold rigoli wrx which ran a mid 9 i think.

GTR 700 was a big dissapointment, i understand how hard it is to get a car like that sorted but i was so keen to see it do at least 1 full noise pass. It did a wicked 1/2 track run for his ANDRA licence on sat which reminded me of the HKS R33 GTR luanching at drag combat. He then came back for a demo run but couldn't get it into gear for the burnout and then that was it! Didn't even see it in the pits today :`(

The croyden GTR from NZ did well on sat with a couple of full noise runs. That thing is nuts off the line with the craziest limiter launch's i've ever seen! He lined up today and did a mid 8 sec pass which was great but then that was it! He only ran once on race day!

So after all that dissapointment thank god for kier wilson in his JMS R32 skyline! This 3L NOS powered MONSTER of a skyline was the high-light of the weekend for me, almost everytime he came out he ran a 9 sec pass with amazing consistancy and reliability. All on STREET TYRES!!!!

Theo ran a 10 in his R32 GTR and also entertained the people with big burnouts including one which went to 3/4 track!!!

The www.101motorcafe.com R33 GTR won the modified street class with consistant low 11 sec passes and great promotional girls!

and then there were the rotors, spluttering and brapping there way into stage and doing some very impresive wheel stands. Apart from "smoking" Joe Signorelli's amazingly consistant 7 sec runs the rest of the rotors didn't really go all that quick compared to past jambo's. Noticely absent were some of the quicker PAC Performance cars, these guys usally rock up with heaps of 8 sec cars and even a few 7 sec ones.

Angus from fullboost.com.au had his RX7 going with an amazing 580rwhp this car was a weapon and Angus was aiming for 9's. After a rocky start on sat, which resulted in a shattered gearbox, he burnt some mid night oil and replaced the box but unfortunetly broke the radiator when it came down off the jack. Last min repairs were done and he ended up running a wheel standing 9.99!!

NZ's fastest fwd was a bit of a fizzer, the quickest i saw it run was a high 10 i think. The integra lost its title to the My105 Online front wheel drive CRX which ran a low 9.

Dom Rigoli's new red wrx wagon set the new 4 cylinder 4WD record with a very quick 9.1 sec pass

The freestlye motocross riders finished off the day with a jump made out of 2 trailers that were towed onto the track. Unfortunetly the 1st guy to jump it overshot the landing by about 2m and broke both his ankles! The other 2 guys carried on with the show and pulled some sweet tricks including huge no hander landers!

All in all it was a good weekend of racing and i can't wait till next year! With a bit of luck i'll be racing my R32 with some RB25DET power and hopfully some 12sec passes ;D

The sun was bad. We had drunk 4 litres of water in 2 hours!!

I thought "yeah.. 4 bottles will be fine" .... PFFT.

I dont know why they don't hold the event in winter. It would make heaps more sense!!

Maybe they need women to organise it. Someone with brains anyway :)

Ants

I heard the comentators mention it.

heh, i didn't realise i'd writen so much untill i posted it :)

I should probably have mentioned Archie's cosmo/berreta rotor but it never really made a clean pass. He was having heaps of transmission issues but ran a few 8sec passes in the end.

Tony Khoury's triple turbo triple rotor ford probe also had alot of clutch dramas but ran a couple of 8sec passes on sunday with some nice burnouts.

The Pac performance mx6 was running for the 1st time so i wasn't really expecting much, it did mostly shake down passes but pulled a few full noise low 8sec passes. I think he even recorded a flat 1sec 60' time which is just amazing! This car is definatly going to run a 6, they built it in acordence with NHRA rules so i expect its going to go over to the state for a tour.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
