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

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
