DragCombat Meeting Place


Recommended Posts

Guest 33GTS25

allrightythen, the meeting place for Drag Combat has been decided and will be at MT Kootha just west of Brisbane. we will leave from here at 8:30 in the morning.

this will give the southerners a bit of a sleep in after their heroic drive and plenty of time to grab some brekky on the way up from the coast.

it may be even easier if all the sydney guys and gold coasters meet at hungry jacks at helensvale around 7am and then all cruise up to brisbane from there. obviously this doesn't matter for those sydney guys that are staying in brisvegas.

the reason that mt kootha has been chosen is that it is a reasonably central location and there are no traffic lights between there and willowbank, so that we will not get seperated (thats me always thinking :lol: )

for those of you that dont know the place go to www.whereis.com.au and do a search for:

Mt Coot-tha is its actual name Rod you heathen.

luke (la la land) is attempting to shag his ex's friend in the next room as i type this. its all gone quiet so maybe he finished or couldnt get it up or something, i dunno. he really does deserve his nickname Shagger.

as you drive up mt cootha you veer off to the left where a big sign directs you, then go left when you hit the roundabout - youll be at a carpark, thats the meeting place.

0411870159 if you stuff it up.

hahaha even i knew it was Mt Coot-tha!!

(but we knew what ya meant Rod...it's all good hehe)

btw ppl...don't bother ringing slip if u get lost, he'll change the meeting spot on you 5 times before you actually find everyone :)

Can somebody put this meeting place information on the SDU board cos alot of people wont know its changed!! make sure it gets stickied so all the brissy users can see.... Lets make this the biggest skyline turnout ever and get around 40ish cars there or maybe more...

Anyone who has mates that own decent imports get them along too and have a big ass cruise all the way into willowbank and then to Surfers paradise after the days events!!

Whats ur thoughts guys?

Cheers BOOSTA

boosta, already done champ

slip, why is la la land jumping a girl in the next room while you are on the computer. i was under the impression that you were "the man". are you just a pretender. why do you not just run in and tag. team sports are always more exciting :twisted:

rod

why do you not just run in and tag. [/quote:a73aa978f4]

I did that too a mate one night, i was absolutey shitfaced and came in while they were on the bed not far out, slapped him on the back of the head and yelled tag. Didn't go down to well, let me say that. He just told me to wait my turn :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

Guest 33GTS25

for those of you that are worried about getting in to willowbank. DONT.

they have plenty of seating although i would warn each of you to bring a pillow or picnic rug or something as their steel seats become very hard after a few hours. yes yes i know this sounds very camp but those that bring pillows will be much happier.

also you can use your rug/jumper to save your seat when you go wandering through the pits as this will not be stolen. a new sensation for the sydney guys undoubtedly

rod

rod youre a bloody heathen.

there are good reasons i wasn't in there tag teaming.

1. I have a hot GF whos hell good

2. That slag la la was going (for 1 minute) wasn't worth spitting on

3. Ive seen la la with no shirt on and im not keen to see more.

4. need i say more.

i am no pretender, lets see luke get better than what ive got.

Guys a few of us Sydney boys will be in Surfers on Friday night..... if anyone wants to meet up with Merli, URMINE and myself we are staying on the beach in an apartment..... can someone give us foll proof directions to the meeting spot on Sat morning??

rofl.....

yes well im admitting im shite with interstate directions..... URMINE gets around so he knows every street/alley in the country.... :lol:[/quote:c3589a3d08]

Well if you spent that much time on street corners you'd take notice of the street signs too.[/quote:c3589a3d08]

rofl, that's how me and urmine met :oops:

Oh and ok, if you're coming from the coast, if you head straight down the motor way, right into town. Over the river, you'll follow the road down coronation drive (along the river), (the same road basically) and look for any signs that say mt coo-tha and what not. But if you follow that right through, it should take you through to a round about and the start of the western fwy, if you head right and up past the botanical gardens it'll take you too mt coo-tha. Basically look for the big hill with the coat hangers on top and head for it. There's only one road heading up to it, which goes to the look out at the top. It's pretty straight forward but I'm not 100% sure on what roads go to it. If this sounds a bit complicated, maybe we could get someone too meet at the south bank tunnel which is really easy to find and on the way too coo-tha. But it's pretty hard to miss the big clotheslines on top.

ATTENTION SYDNEY GUYS DRIVING FROM GOLD COAST TO DRAGS

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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.
