Hey guys

I raced on the 20th but, unfortunately nobody else showed up.

13.9sec @ 179km/hr, ate a few v8's so I was happy haha

If anyone is interested in planning another night, let me know and maybe we could organise to meet up.

I don't think I'll try organise another skyline drag night atleast for a while due to the lack of interest and responses I received.

But in saying that, if there's anyone genuinely interested in meeting up some time, feel free to pm me or comment on this forum and we'll organise something.

Cheers

Bugger that nobody else showed.... maybe if it wasn't held every week there might be a bit more interest. It's only when you lose your drag strip (i.e. Adelaide over 5 years ago) that you really miss it!! I'd be keen to put my 34 down the strip in a month or so, just need to do a few little things to it.

Edit: What V8's did you beat btw? Would be interested to know how the new R8 clubby's go? Did you race new or old?

Yeah you're probably right.

Didn't get to face any VE's or anything. Beat a few VS-VZ SS commy's. I don't think they were too seriously modded but had the basics - intake, exhaust and all that so I assume they would be pushin something like high 200 or low 300hp atw.

The highlight for me was beating my mates Ford BF Boss 260kw automatic with my manual 34GT-T

Couple of black VE HSV GTS's doin 11's - they were pretty awesome. Not sure about both of them, but I know one of them was supercharged and pretty bloody serious hp (not sure exactly how much).

Someone in the sauwa club was there the first time I went down. He had a midnight purple (I think) 33 GT-R doin low 12 sec runs that I saw. Sounded f**king awesome, had 4 wheels spinning with the launches and looked mint.

If you let me know in advance when you're keen to go down, I'll head down again and meet you if you want. I work 8 on 6 off FIFO for a mine site up North so I'm only available every second Wednesday night.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
