Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd start this thread to thank all of those that came down to watch and participate in Drag Combat. I think the event was very successful, and will only get bigger and better over the next few years.

We had our Official SAUWA Club launch aswell, and we had lots of people sign up. If you missed out then don't worry, we'll setup another method of join up:D

A huge thanks to Liz, Dan, Alex, and Lauren for running the SAUWA tent in my absence, and to Al(Sexzilla) for designing the shirts and Membership Cards.

If you have any constructive feedback about the running of Drag Combat, then please feel free to post it here or PM me.

Also congratulations to Got Boost, LagWagon, ND4SPD and Subky for there great efforts, well done guys:D

Thanks

Paul

very good event, enjoy myself soo much, meet alot of SAUWA people all very friendly and helpful thanks 2 sil80 for helment and the guy running the the r33 without his mines ecu i forgot your name thanks for the key 2 up my boost, ohh yeah and thanks amys u where also very helpful :) thanks for showing me your sunburn :( got all excited when u started 2 take off your top :D

all and all was a great day, i have about 6+ hrs of video that my friends took just wait, to divx it 2 the pc then i will get it around to everyone.

ohh yeah and i ran a 14.3 @ 0.5Bar of boost

ahaha yeap ken, i was racing Paul aka gts-tvspec in the knock out round for RWD6, so i through screw it im going out with hazards on heheheehe

ohh yeah and i remember watching all those jap videos of street drifting and draging and they had there hazards on so i through it was a good idea :rofl:

yea i came down and watched but didnt stay for the eliminations. how was the track, what were you guys 60's like. paul a saw a flat 13 from your car i think (grey with the red rimed mags?) I think its prob got a bit more in it, you must have been rushed to get it ready it time as i saw it at sst not fully together the same week.

hey good work sean knocked down your time a little more, hope to see you on a japspec cruise soon with my new turbs :rofl:

good turn out of skylines, great effort, thanks for the entertainment

dont complain about your turbo now mikey

get you some dump/front pipe / buy some new tyres and a safc and up that boost a tad

i had a great time, Aidwin i didnt get to see you down there. i still got to pic up that cam cover from you...doh

good to see such a large turn out of skylines wicked

Well I thought it was OK - good foundation to build on. From watching the racing this is how I sum it up:

* Paul (GTSVSpec) - car seemed to have plenty of go - just no traction. I think your wasting your time at the drags with street tires paul, you need to get a proper set of slicks for the whale. I would watch you off the line going onwhere really and then about half track the car would stick and take off like a rocket. No slicks = wasting time , thats how I some up Pauls monster of a motor.

* GOT BOOST - very impressed. Fark you left the line hard and kept pulling hard all the way down the track.. I was very impressed. Stand out performance. (ps - what turbz u running/)

* Drifta - Did some awesome burnouts - but trying to race with those low profile street tires was a disaster. NO traction = crap times. looked like you were enjoying yorself though - good on ya.

* Nizmo - I feel for you Laurn, I dont really know what was going on with your car - seemed very slow even from the stands. I saw you where ver dissapointed with it performance in you whore town comments..... hope you sort it soon Laurn.

* Erik - well your car looked good, did some decent burnouts - but geez it was slow. Sorry Erik Im not having a go, just wandering why you were constanly running 14's and 15's and even higher at times......

* Ant - no need to say anything - awesome.

Other mentions -

That MkIV supra painted in silver pearl was awesome to watch...... running full slicks in the back that thing took off like a absolute animal off the line and once the wheels stuck went into hyperdrive..... i saw it run a 11.2 in qualifing... and it had heaps left......

Daniel

Erik - OK - i wont go on.

BAM - in all honest GTAAH was a debarcal.. very dissapointing.

T51R - in qualifying run a 11.2 straight up i thik it was - I was impreesed... that think went down the track very hard.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
