Drag Day

Hey all,

The exec team has discussed the feasibility of a drag day at WSID between ourselves and there's one "snag" stopping us going forward with it.

Here's the situation; WSID (for some crazy reason, lets not get into that) have a rule that says you cant go faster than 11.00 on a private/club day. Nothing stops you backing off half track if you know you'll break into the 10's though. So for our club to hire the track we need to get an indication of numbers so we dont expect 50 entrants for example and then get only 10 as we have to pay for the other spots.

Cost will be $200 per entrant, $50 per double entered driver. That includes crew entry aswel.

Date TBA of course but it will be a long way off so everyone can attend that wants to and there's heaps of time to get leave from work, permission from the wife etc

So, who's keen? Only post up if you're actually keen not just increasing your post count or killing time.

Thanks!!!

-Steve

Depending on dates, i'll be there to take photos and take the evo down the strip.

Although won't be doing many passes (maybe 3-4 over the day) as the drivetrain will sh!t itself.

Very interested, no issue with 11 sec rule with my car.

Maybe some video of the day as well?

As a club day, can we still launch 2 cars at the same time?

Do you mean use both lanes?

Video we will provide like normal with pics etc from the pro's

I'm guessing that we'd still need to meet Andra standards and we'd need to bring appropriate gear and licences etc if we have them?

If a car was to run under an 11.0 on the day will they just be asked not to run again or will this cause issues?

Shame Heathcoate isn't a little closer :)

    • Trail braking done right, should have the rear unsettled, such that you're actually turning the car by a noticeable amount WITH the brakes, and hence noticeably less steering input.
    • No you don't. Just no more driving in the wet, and clean your window manually before you drive
    • I'm not sure if they tick your boxes, but Haltech would be my pick. I'm an Adaptronic guy from way back, and Haltech acquired Adaptronic to basically get Andy, AND his IP on how he does things like fuel modelling etc.
    • Just on this, as there's a huge issue in your assumption Dose.   The logic you've given, is the same logic old school NA guys give for "needing back pressure" in an exhaust. If you free up an exhaust system, and keep injecting the same fuel in etc, at the same timing, you'll typically drop power. Freeing the exhaust will often make an engine want a little bit more timing, and even sometimes a little more fuel, but then it'll make even more power.   There's many mods people do and "get no extra power" when running a comparison on the same tune. Imagine a car tuned for 91, but now we say put 98 in it, see no difference. But as we now have 98 fuel, you can run more timing, and make more power, as the 91 was knock limited.   So just be very wary in your claim of "don't retune it and do a back to back and you'll see". The correct approach would be tune the car with stock manifold, swap the manifold to aftermarket, and retune it again. But no one wants to do that, and all the results we get are "this was stock, and this is manifold changed and tuned" and people put it all down as just the tune doing it.
    • Unplug ECU. Unplug TPS. Unplug boost pressure sensor. Now, all the wires, placing your ground (black) multimeter lead at the ECU end, measure resistance of the 5V line at the boost sensor plug. Then do the same to the TPS plug. Then do the same for all the other wires that relate to the TPS, or boost sensor.   All of your measurements should be very very low. You're looking to see if wiring is out of wack here.   Secondly, from memory on the R33 (not a neo motor, so I'm assuming an r34) the ground wire for the TPS and boost sensor are NOT equal to ground of the car/battery. IE, DO NOT connect ground of the sensor to the engine/body of car. You'll get a ground loop, and/or potentially screw shit up. In electronics, ground for a circuit, is not necessarily equal to ground of another circuit.   So this leads me to ask, when measuring your 5V, how are you getting 1.5V? Where are your multimeter leads touching for both the red and black lead on the multimeter?   If you're measuring power on the sensor wire, and putting ground on the car chassis or negative battery terminal, that could be all of your issues in "getting 1.5v". Electronics engineers can do some funky stuff with circuits, and when both sensors are on, it's enough laid to alter how the ECU is functioning.
