I really expected a lot more cars to come & run (especially more Rexs).

I thought we'd get there late.....but.

We just got there 5 mins before they opened up.

That white R33 sure was nutz. I think he had the quickest time (while we were there).

Also that white 300z was sure blowing alot of smoke & sparks out his pipes.

And the white rex was showing alot of promise but probably didn't deliver wot I expected from it.

Here's some pixs.

Next time I will bring my R33 & try and get my friend to bring his Rex.

interesting day... traction was just a complete fail.... only managed a 12.91 @119.1 due to 6/8 coilovers and second gear just completely frying every singe run! :)

not really sure what he attraction is with drag racing, but meh.... though i'd give it a try lol

wouldn't mind going back with the car actually set up for it one day and trying to dip into the 11's... just for the hell of it...

The white rex is still running in the motor I believe. He should get to 10s soon enough...

Not bad for a DIY setup!

What a great day! We were the last to leave due to loading up etc, but from what we heard people saying they were happy with the amount of runs they were getting and that the weather held out.

For those who left early, you missed an AWESOME head to head battle between the white rexy and Luke's white NUTR33 skyline, Luke said he could see him out of the corner of his eye preety much the whole way down the strip! The rexy won by 0.2 of a second or something ridiculous like that! Then they raced again, and the rexy broke something (He thought possibly in the diff) and ended up doing a 19 second pass, but it was good to catch up with him at the end of the day and see he was still smiling, even with broken bits! I think someone said they filmed it so hopefully it will be up here soon.

We learnt an important lesson about tyres, they are everything at the drags!

Thanks to organisers and those who helped on the day :bunny: Im in the process of uploading a few vids and pics so when I get the chance Ill post the links here.

Cheers,

Anna

Hey guys

Glad that everyone enjoyed the day after the mornings problems.

Even though it was a late start it was still better to get everyone out there late than not at all... :bunny:

haha great day! Was quite a small turnout, but meant plenty of runs!

I managed to get a total of 18 runs in. That would easily be 4 Calder Friday Nights!

Could have got more but started to feel sorry for the car haha

Was either badly axle tramping it or bogging it through 1st/2nd gear. Need moar practice

Thanks sauvic/wrx club for organising the day.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I had a great day hopeing to brake into the 11s and i ran a [email protected] straight off the trailer without a great launch.

With a bit more heat into the tyres and a few more revs off the line i pulled a 1.61 60ft to run a personal best of 11.24 @123.93mph.

The M/T ET Drag tyres were awesome as i bolted up my street tyres and ran a 13.37sec later in the day.

The highlight of the whole day though was the run with the rex late in the day. He managed to take a holeshot win with his 11.45 compared to my 11.41.

Hopefully there will be some good vids come out of the day soon.

Cheers

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
