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:

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
