Drag Combat @Calder Park This Sat & Drinks Afterwards!


Recommended Posts

A little late notice but....

On Saturday a few of us are going to Calder Park. Events include drag racing, quarter mile time trials, Motorcana (on grass), Grab a flag (on grass/dirt) and laps around the Thunderdome. We are going to be there 11am.

Best part is we are having drinks afterwards at Watergardens hotel pub corner of Keilor Melton Highway and Kings Road. This is going to be after we have all had our fill of fun for the day.

The title from Calder Park is "DRAG COMBAT". This is a 3 day event, starting on Friday and finishing on Sunday.

I beleive there is prize money for 1st and 2nd placings in the following events:

- 1/4 mile.

- Go-to-Whao

- Motocana

Entrants will also be allowed access to the flat track and the Thunderdome.

Personally i perfer this more than the EasterNats, as this event is more foccased on entrant participation, rather than spectating.

When you go to the SummerNats, in Canberra, (year after year) the Easter and Spring Nats are pretty pale in comparison.

There is no grab-a-flag, i don't know what you've been smoking Shivam :rofl::D

I think we would have heard more about it if it was the "official" "Drag Combat" series / thingo :P I am really sick of them coming to Oz and not including Vic :) I wanna see the HKS GTR without having to fly interstate... dammit! And I want to see it break its own record - 7.6 or whatever it currently is

I was coming back through Calder last night on my way home from Pyramid Hill - didnt realise event was on, muscle cars everywhere LoL - they are NOT street legal :) dont know how they get away with cruising the streets? :rant

Shivam and myself went to enter yesterday, but once we heard the $100 car entry fee i laughed and we did a u-turn out of there.  Went to the pub for 1/2 the day :rofl:.

yah the pub was good fun. I especially like the mischief we got up to later on when it rained (what a blessing!!) :(

wohooo!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
