Thanks mate, I felt a bit out of place amongst all the V8's! I was surrounded by them, there was only about 6 other FWD cars there.

Did anyone see the 32 gtr that was absolutely off its head last Friday night (the 4th)... It ran an 11.4 or something. he had it parked near the track before it got dark - spewing I didn't have my camera it was perfection up close. would LOVE to do mine like that

What colour was it? I remember 2. One looked more track than drag with an older guy (open face helmet) driving it. The other one had sparkly glitter paint.

It was a sick night. I loved it. Been missing it the last few years. I'm going to get myself some drag tyres and go there early next year. ;)

Shame there was no burnout comp. The 7.67sec mustang was awesome!!!

Yeah I saw the sparkly one! I'm thinking of the gun metal grey one with the te37s and slicks with the writing on the tyre walls. Yeah I couldn't believe how many people were there it was sweeeet! I'd be keen to have a crack I've never done it before :D

Did it take long to get out of the car park? I bailed about 15 minutes early to try and beat the rush

well it will cost more if u get busted doing it illegally. true?? lol

Irrelevant. Calder once again are working AGAINST motorsport enthusiasts - common theme with Calder Management stemming from that muppet Bob and his actions in the 1990's.

The only reason Calder is SO packed out now because of its "limited" days, it totally defeats the purpose.

Bad enough $65 and get 6-10 runs, but now you get maybe 2?

Forget it. But sadly people are stupid and still attend because its the ONLY choice they have.

Calder management are deliberately limiting the days to max out attendance, make them look successful etc etc when realisitcally all it's doing it starving the people with contiminated water.

Being the facility is shit.

However, you can't 'not' attend now can you? Being if you don't, it'll close forever. Calder Management are purely and simply driven by the dollar.

They have been for a number of years and the cash grabbing is only getting worse. Seems Bob's purse must be a bit light on these days.

Yeah that 32 was cool

I stayed almost to the end and there wasn't a rush out of the place.

Another cool thing last week was the insane drifters doing low 11's with their silvia/180 drift cars! I was very suprised with their times. Big 15in tyres though.

While I hate Calder Park management, there is nothing else so if they continue to run it fortnightly from feb on I will run my car and spectate a bit too. They will prob limit to 200 cars all the time so you get more than 2 runs.

And I thought there wasn't enough options for circuit stuff. At least we have sandown, winton and PI to keep us busy.

i ran my 180sx, i arrived at calder at 245....lol

car was running like shit....intake pipe came off twice and injectors were maxed out by 3rd gear. best time was 14.1 which i wasnt happy with....

that white 32gtr had problems and still ran 13s

my mate in a VL had 5 runs, if u line up early at srutineering ull get more runs...

On the 6th Nov drags, it was absolute havoc.. I think as a spectator it was a bargain since there was just so much to see, but trying to get a run would have been devastating. I was at the front gates when I saw some of the problems unfold. They had a ticketing screwup..(poor girl was stressing big time, so many people queuing up with cars) and along with that they actually thought they had reached the max drag car quota. :P

At that point there was at least 100 race cars waiting at the gates, i thought riots were going to unfold when they were told no more cars!...took them about 20mins to realise they had misplaced some of there ticketing.. At that point things started to trickle through. That would have caused significant delays for everyone getting runs IMO. Hope things don't get any worse than that..

I guess I can see why calder have reduced the days last time I was there, fk all ppl were. No spectators, and very few cars. I wonder if all those complaining now actually supported it when it was on. Cause to be honest I dont remember all these ppl even being there. But it worked for me...I got 10 runs in before it even got dark. :)

At least now with the limited days, its nearly a guaranteed sell out, as such more spectators...more $$$. Id much rather pay to spectate when its busy, but I'd rather pay to enter when its quieter...so you just cant keep everyone happy all the time, with anything.

Yeah I saw you there. Thought there must have been something going on with your car. You going again next year?

Yeah was taken down in full drag trim haha, 260kw SR20 TD06 11.06 not to bad.. Would probarbly crack a 10 with a touch more r&d :down:

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
