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,

Hey guys

Glad that everyone enjoyed the day after the mornings problems.

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

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
