Yeah - I'm getting my guards lipped so I can fit some nitto's under the back.

Hopefully then I'll get a decent time! :D

Cheers,

matt

Matt with that MPH and a better 60ft you'll into 11's easy.

awesome must makin some hp?

Updated !

R33vit.. seen you stage against a loud v8 and expected you a slow pass (damn those cars are loud when your trying to listen to your own cars revs). Was quite surprised when you got to the other end in only 13.3 what changes have you done to your launching technique coz I want a 1.89 60ft :D

Last week I was launching on the potenzas as if they where my Grid II's (wrong)

this week I was launching from 5k as always but insted of feeding the power I was just nailing it from 5k.. Gotta love the potenzas:aroused: .. The New Power FC helps a lot too.:)

BTW - All the talk about reaction times, in my case, it was a Dial Your Own time, and I was racing a slower car! So for a bit over a second, I was sitting there watching the other car dissappear into the distance!

Still caught him tho :D

Cheers,

matt

Ben,

There seems to be some discrepencies with the reaction times on your list... I know it doesn't really count for much but just thought I would mention it...

At Willowbank, a 0.400 is a perfect reaction... Anything less is a red light... It seems this is different at WSID where a 0.000 is a perfect reaction?

This is likely to be the case at a few other tracks...

Make of it what you will...

At WSID when the light turns green the r/time starts. So if your r/time is 0.500 it took you 0.5sec to reaction to the green light. In 10yrs of watching drag racing i've never seen it any other way.

I disagree Ben... I've only ever seen perfect reaction times of 0.4...

If you read page 10 of the following rulebook from ANDRA, all will be clear...

http://www.andra.com.au/technical/drafts/i...credentials.pdf

And I quote:

The best reaction time possible is four tenths of a second - that’s the gap between the last amber light flashing and the green light coming on.
It appears to me that WSID are doing things slightly different from the norm... All I can suggest is you add 0.4 to the reaction times listed on WSID timeslips...

BenM you obviously havent been watching drag racing too closely over those 10 years then. Pre 2002 A perfect reaction time was a 0.4 Time between The last amber lighting and the green light lighting. Therefore anything before 0.4 was a false start,red light situation. With the invent of LED staging lights in 2002 NHRA changed the system to what it is now where -ve numbers are brake outs the over 0 is your reaction time. A few months later ANDRA also adopted this scheme.

A bit hard to tell what scheme each Track is using they all should be using the new system if they are andra approved tracks.

Have you ever raced DYO?

 

matt

Ive raced DYO quite a few times, and witnessed many more national events. Reaction time Has nothing to do with the other car. That is the phsycical time of it. DYO often causes brake outs when the chasing car becomes to impatient. But Even in Handicapt index events reaction time starts when your light goes green.

How many DYO events have you done?

Did my first DYO bracket meet type event today.

New time update as follows:

ET - 11.959 sec

TS - 117.18 mph

60' - 1.697 sec

RT - 0.090

Tyres - Nitto NT555R's 245/50/16

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
