well its been way to long but A.I.R is opening the doors for drag racing THIS SATURDAY 26TH, sadly only 1/8 mile for the first few events but its a whole lot better than nothing. gates open at 8am, racing from 9 finishes at 11. Some big names are making the trek over including GAS Motorsport and the Brays. seriously not an event to be missed

Yep I wil be out there for a look. When it is 1/4 mile early next year I will go run the V35 just to see how slow she really is :)

Maybe you missed Matty's post about this http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/375656-drags-back-at-air/

ill b there from 7am crewwing with the 2 500+kw vl turbos, 1 is white n manual (low boost for this meet on et street radials) the other 1 is yellow, number plate BOOSTO running big power thru a glide... has gone 9.90 b4 with much less power...

hope this rain clears, heard there is going to b around 25-30 thousand out there so get in early....

im keening up something fierce

last time i was at a.i.r i ran my car in a saturday night street meet (and kept lining up against 12sec HQs lol)

7am.. You're keen! Lol

Was talking to chafe lastnight and he was saying he went for a quick test drive and the car is hooking up mint on the et streets, cant wait!

yeah keen as, keen as to beat the traffic mostly lol

yeah i spoke to him on wed nite, hes loving the et streets, wait til he gets em on the track, there pretty much as good as slicks these days

i didnt know a top fueler was going out, even tho i heard a rumour yest that darren morgan was thinkn of headn over so that makes sense...

im keen to see joe signorellis 2j pro fx car again, been a while since ive been to jambo...

didnt the ba falcon have near 600 rwkw and the gtr i know had 406kwaw... and from wat i saw on the time board there was a couple tenths in it... hardly a smashing

also, it was the first qualifying run for all cars...

were so many surprised packet cars, great day, pity i had to leaver at 530, was running very smoothly

doorslammers going 4.0 - 4.2 at 173 to 176 mph to the 1/8th... crazy

Was an awesome day with some amazing cars ..... 176mph at half track is amazing - makes your bones hum with excitement as they fly past.

Pity I got burnt as hell - at least I am not as burnt as Terbeeke - he is going to be sore tomorrow! Great to catch up with MattR, Whatsisname, MattyT & Jas too!

its std turbo(ported flapper still internal) on that thing pushing 400 at best and shes a fat bitch with 1900+kg inc driver fuel ......400awkw should of destroyed a ba a few tenths is big news in any drag racing circle :domokun:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
