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/

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:

    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
    • Here's Logans Silvia with R32 Drivetrain, mine will be slightly lower (more angle). He was constantly blowing the RH axles at around 16deg. I want to avoid this.    
    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.
