I'm going to the drags friday night. Anyone else going?

Come say hi I'll be in the Bright green FG XR6 Turbo ute. I'm interested to see what it'll run as a completely stock car.

Hopefully going to see my mate race his HSV SV08 Senator. Ran 11.9 last week on street tyres. Hopefully get something quicker with some slicks.

Ill be sure to say hi if i see ya. :laugh:

Cheers. Terry.

noob question but whats involved in gtting your car on the strip?? would love to see what the 34 pulls.

Bring a helmet and long sleve jumper. Pay entry fee, sign some legal paperwork. Take your car through the pits to see if anything is classed as dangerous pass that and your good to race. :mrt: Pretty simple stuff.

Best of luck champ! :laugh:

There were a few evo's but overall a very jap-less night at the drags. 2 or 3 skylines and maybe 4 evo's. Lot's of V8's all over the place.

I got like 7 runs. Best was a 13.32 @ 106mph in the ute. Not bad for a completely standard car with 3000k's on it.

just got back.. my car over heated on the way home :s

i saw your green ute, is that a FG f6 or just normal FG xr6 turbo? saw that you bogged down on a couple of launches but still impressive times once you got into 2nd you flew. Great times for a standard car thats for sure.

on another note that rotary was awesome haha

i kinda got sick of all the VX / VZ commos :\ was funny one of the evo 6's i think it was, did a 11.8 and owned some massive ass loud worked v8, i loled :)

Yeah very happy with that. It's an XR6 Turbo, not F6.

The fastest run I did was when it bogged a bit. Doesn't seem to hurt as much with a bigger engine (compared to RB20).

The run that I bogged a bit was a 2.133 60' and my best was a 2.07 60'.

If I took out the spare wheel, jack, rubber mat etc it would prob do 13.2 but if I really cared about drag I would buy an auto. I guy was doing 12.8's with an auto that had done a few more k's but still standard.

yeh i was suprised how well it went, so is that your daily?

Yep. trying to resist modifying it. Need to be lower and a little louder. Maybe wheels and that'll be if for a while. Eventually I will though then it'll be doing 12s.

Next trip to the drags will be in the 32 shooting for a 12.8 with standard suspension.

Just chuck a turbo back exhaust on it i recon, the rims are ok, maybe a pod / larger fmic if needed? and up the boost a bit for the drags.. would be nice :cool:

Do you have semi slicks / slicks for your r32? i assume so by looking at your sig

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
