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

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
