what a great afternoon!!

I had to leave soon after 4pm, but managed 11 runs.

saved by best run until I was lined up against my old mate todd - 14.5 @ 98.8 mph.

last run of the day for me was the best R/T .008 but only ended with a 14.6

it was all a lot of guess work for me, but bloody good fun trying!!

Big thanks to Todd and the Club Exec for organising the Event

Thanks to everyone involved organising today, it was fantastic and I had loads of fun! I couldn't get near Col on that R1 though! A bit more practice with the take off's and I will hopefully see a low 11! My best was a 11.95@120mph. 60 foot was a horrible 2.17 lol.

So now I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures!

i thought that was you. you did well but, stop forgetting to put the helmet visor down lol.

I was there but without my rig, had trouble getting it down there but i still went to watch, some good runs there guys looked like i missed out.

That Elite performance r33 was insain

Great work on your runs guys, I love the sound of redline in the morning & plenty of runs for all.

Now there is a nasty rumour that I lost to Pear-so I have to confirm this as its payback from the big guy as I have ridden his arse about going down to my car at just about every trackday for the last 12-14mths so well done Pear- guess this makes me your drag bitch, I do however have a sneaking suspicion that he has squeezed more power outa his somehow :D

How did Gervase go?...get booted 1st run?

circuit rubber doesnt cut it for drag racing aye. wheel spin through 1st gear.. couldnt do better than a 1.8 60ft time. I either launched too hard and lit them up, or too soft and got bogged down. Tyres + launch control required :P Had a blast though. Might have to look at getting some mickey T's on the rear for next time.

I do however have a sneaking suspicion that he has squeezed more power outa his somehow :P

You have a new fmic, as do i... we should both have an extra few horses :cool:

I think it was my diet that got me the extra speed :banana:

Thanks allot to the SAU exec team for putting together a great event.

The R1 was interesting to say the least.

Best ET 11.05 @ 131mph (2.006sec 60foot / 0.112 =reaction)

Best Reaction 0.002

Best 60 foot 1.974

Best Trap Speed 131.16

For those who missed it, I did mess my pants big time at the top end when I missed changing gears and almost chucked myself over the handle bars on the rev limiter. Then gassed it and dumped the clutch whilst selecting 4th and put it on one wheel at over 200kph. The track staff in the braking area gave me a round of applause when I can up the return road. At the time I was less than impressed but smiled and waved. (Still ran a 12 something) So for those who did see it, I didn't mean to do it and yes I scared the living shit out of myself big time...

I also enjoyed chasing down those cars, the 120 foot handicap start was difficult to chase down.

I threw away a 10 second pass by breaking on my 11.05 pass.

I was worried id break the 10.5sec limit put on motorbikes and as it was one of the earlier runs for the day I didnt know how fast we were going yet.

Thanks again guys, I will do it again soon as I want a 10 on paper.

NOTE: It was me on the white/red R1 who kept leaving my visor up...

I have to say its farkin hard to launch a bike on the strip...

Launching at a set of traffic lights is easy, all the loose dust/rocks just makes the wheel spin a touch and your off...

As where at willowbank I was having hard enough time lifting my boots off the ground it was that sticky...

No room for an error on the line, you either bog down or lift the wheel there is no easy sweet spot...

It takes the regular bike racers ages to get the clutch slip down pat, or use roll bars... :P

I'm not use to the the R1 in a racing environment, I just ride it weekends through the hills...

I agree with ya about launching on the strip vs the road. It was very tough trying to get moving. My 60 foot times were as bad as when I took the line down lol. I can't wait to have another go with some friendlier footwear though.

So has anyone got some pics???

I did that once out of about 10 runs :P

lol tru... it was the dude in the other bike then, he forgot heaps hahah itwas pretty funny, just about every time he got a tapp on the shoulder reminding him

Theres some pics up on boost cruising http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....howtopic=491904

It was a fun time. Did a 14.079 in my 180sx which is ok conisdering I just bolted a turbo onto the standard SR20de motor a couple of weeks ago with a few supporting mods and only running 6psi.

Looking forward to the next event

dont worry most of us are in the same boat hehe ... im glad the evo wasnt much faster then the 35 bawabawa lol... had my fun for the evening..

Col - did u end up getting that bug out of your eye??

must admit i loved Pear's 34 looked the part ;) well kept 34

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
