anyone got a better answer?

its been a while (12 months) since i've looked into the drag scene so i'm behind on whether or not the penrith strip was finished or if the only 1/4 mile was still at EC.

i'm assuming from the smart arsed-ness of the answer that the penrith track is up & running

It's not in Penrith...

WSID (Western Sydney International Dragway) is located directly opposite/right nextdoor to Eastern Creek Raceway.

Hope to see you there :)

I thought it was being held at Penrith Panthers? 1/4 Mile drag to Krispy Kreme???
LOL you'd have to do about 8 laps for it to be 1/4 Mile.

I didn't realise it was on tomorrow. I'll be there... i'll give Nick or Merli or someone a call when I get there to see where all you skankz0rs are sitting. At the SummerNationals I sat on the East side right inline with the starting tree/lights on the top level up against the fence.

I found this to be a great spot because it wasn't packed with people, it was nice and close, you could see the entire track and their was about 5 food stands directly behind me :):(:P

shyte! thats how long i've been out of the loop...

i didn't even realise it was at The Creek. even better - 15km extra i dont have to travel. i have some vague recollection from a while ago of plans to build a strip at penrith.. the incessant intoxication must be finally affecting my memory

spose i'll should check out the site

cheers

Merli - I'll see you at the space station at 8:00 - I haven't heard from PranK.

Sorry guys - we are organising two meetups in the one thread - hope you don't get confused.

Summary:

Compeditors: Meet at 8:00 am at space station

Spectators: Meet at 6C @ 9:30

Cheers.

$30? Do they think I'm Bill Gates??

What numbers are expected to be meeting at P6? I'm eager to come, but dont know anyone....

And you never will if you don't put your balls on the line and just come and meet us :P

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
