GTR should be ready by then, I would be scared to launch it dont want to break anything :P how many revs do I give it haha

edit: Hamish I can strongly recommend you to change your gear knob by then, i can see that big mofo breaking off! haha

I'm keen for this too...will be a good to set a base time for the car...

It will be good to finally meet you Gerald!

If the gts4 gearbox is rebuilt in time (which it should be, its at the rebuilders now) i'll be there.

Likewise mate...

I have left the rb20 camp though...gone 2J now... :thumbsup:

I do miss the old 32 a lot...

I can definitely make this! Is there a wooden spoon award?

Are passengers allowed? I've never been in any seriously quick cars, fastest was the Elfin at the last DECA, and prior to that it would be a stock Evo 7 then my Supra. Would be cool to feel what a truly fast car feels like. Of course I wouldn't jump in if someone were going for the personal best, but if they were just practicing launching or whatnot I'd appreciate the ride.

She'll be right mate, just make sure theres plenty of oil in it, then its 8,500rpm and drop the clutch!

me too. Would love to finally feel that fabled gtr launch

I'll come down and give it a go for show of numbers. I'd like to give my supra a go but it's not working at the moment so I'll just have to see what I can get out of the Sprinter lol.

Last place anyone? lol

Can someone attend if they (were once a president of the WRX club, and) have been banned from the WRX club for referring the current line of Subaru cars to looking like a rubbish skip full of smashed crabs. Oh and calling the current president a Muppet. :P

Oh and I'll probably be driving a Hiace Diseasel :P

LOL - Age, you my friend are always welcome :)

RE Passengers: They are permitted providing you wear helmet, appropriate clothing, etc.

But..... if a car has a passenger, the rule is only one car down the strip at a time.

Priority for the day will be for drivers to get as many runs as possible. We will definately be able to squeeze in some runs for passengers but it will not be all day.

Hope this helps :cool:

Costs have gone up - It's a dedicated day just for us.

Thats the only reason i can think of... either way that's the price they have told us.

RE: License - You need one to race far as i understand as it's insurance related (for them), same as Calder which i know you 100% need a valid license to race.

I'll be there... Not sure which car i'll be racing though... RB26 equipped either way :)

Is it one you can buy on the day?

And when did Calder start requiring a license? Last time I went to the drags was about 8 years ago and I didn't need one.

License = drivers license.

Ahhhh, I read Muz' question as an ANDRA/CAMS/ASAA type license and kinda missed the actual drivers license bit :)

    • 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
