The green supra did 1 run at 10.6 and the blue 1 10.8.

I saw you a couple of times knore....but didn't know who you were :)

Apart from the fact that there weren't enough entries it was a good day. Not too crowded, every one could get a good look at what was going on....some very nice cars, even nicer girls and a good atmosphere.

From a personal side ...it was disapointing. We finally got 51jay back together at 8.45am Sat morning after a minor disaster on an attempted tuning drive about 1 am. So totally untuned ..but up and running we went anyway. High point of the trip out there was the Gold Coast contingent cruising past us....3 Nice Skylines in line astern...good one guys :) .

Mick did 3 runs around 11am with a best of 15 at 90!!! mph (he's now living in the cupboard under the stairs :) ) so we decided to withdraw and just enjoy the day. Absolutly nothing over 3000rpm at nearly 17psi and a pfc knock level of 3 to 8.

As I thought ...you could do as many runs as you could fit in so for anyone who was game it was good value for money.

I quickly worked out that the answer to the heat was soak your cap at every tap.

It was a little expensive for what you got but i think it is a good concept and with more support and entries from the Jap import community will only get better.

We will be heading for Sydney for the Finale...hopefully with a fully sorted car and yours truly back behind the wheel.....See you there???

PS Ive got 160 pics total 48MB if anyone can help me to get them up here

Well i have to say that i and the group of friends i went with to this years drag combat were very dissapointed with the entire event. With a whole 80 or so competing cars in the drag events i think it would have been more entertaining watching the test and tunes on wednesday nights. Sure it was a warm day to say the least but i suppose thats what you get for orgainising an event at Willowbank in the summer, what do they expect? . As for the $30 flat fee admission fee....... very rough! The day was a stinker with a bizmal turn out of people and cars (both racers and show) definately the 1st and last time i GEE myself up for drag combat.

Mind you i do applaude the efforts of the people who didnt ***** out because of the heat and still made the effort to show up......pity there wasn't more of us.

my 2 cents.....

(noice pics also)

Haro ;)

Jay, if you want to email them to me, i'll host them.

That is, if you want to email them to me ;)

I enjoyed the day.. few show cars to look at, some nice girls to look at, and most things - just the heat was the killer. The drag racing itself was pretty poxy, but it was 41 ****ing degrees.. who would bother? The point of drag racing is to get a good time and have fun, if you're not getting either of them, you're not going to run. Sitting in that heat, with a helmet and everything else, you'd have to be damn keen. So good props to those that did get out there!

Just bad timing, not much anybody can do about it.

anyhow, just got back b4 from my weekend.. will post my full thoughts and shots soon..

best i could do was a 12.07 at 118mph at 8.30pm and still 33deg.. farkin hot day.....

mucked up the 60ft time with a 1.84... i had been doing 1.7 60fts all day....

bloody close to that 11 sec i am wishing for...he he..

it was a hot day but had a good time ... they should do it a few months later next year. heaps more cars would have run...

Ok, thanx to strutto.. and problems with the SAU gallery :D here are my shots.. large size - but i hate low quality pix.. so you'll either have to bear with, or not look.

Will start with of course what people would probably like to see:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
