A fabulous day yesterday at Heathcote Raceway saw SAU Victoria take out the inaugural Tri Club Drag Challenge.

The day pitted SAU Vic against the WRX and US Muscle Clubs to see who was fastest down the 1/4 mile.

The day was covered by My Drive and 2 of our members Russell Cunningham and Luke Schulze were picked out of the crowd to be interviewed for the show.

Huge congrats goes to Luke Schulze (NUTR33) for taking out the honours for the day with a 10.9 second pass.

Russell,I'm fairly sure you've passed Tony now for number of dead drive shafts!!!

Was great to catch up with everyone - cheers to all who came along to make it enjoyable :)

Im sure there will be pics/video to come - and be sure to stay tuned for an annoucement on when the footage will be aired on TV.

Thanks to Bec for being the SAU-VIC organiser :) (I think WRX club have some trophies for you to distribute - to the Blue GTR owner- Best Skyline in SnS & Fastest GTR)

All I can say is WOW... HE DID IT! Emotions have been a bit haywire since & I was very a proud wifey. Breaking into the 10's has been a dream for ages, and now its a reality.... so bring on some more tweaks and mid/low 10's? :whistling:

Congrats to Leon on the cool burnout at the end of the day on the pan & Sorry that Russ broke a couple of drive shafts, but glad he managed to get them replaced & get back out there on some slicks and have some fun!

I'd love to see any more footage/pics fo Lukes car if anyone has any?

Here's the 10.9 pass from my perspective:

See you all at DECA in a few weeks! :cheers:

Thanks to the organisers and WRX club, the day was run well and lots of fun.

Thanks everyone for the congrats

It took a bit to break into the 10s, but well worth the effort.

Its now time for E85 and some more boost, and hopefully a low 10.

Any new videos we get of the day we will upload to youtube, just search nutr33

Cheers

Was good to catch up Leigh - even if you were "batting for the other team" :)

How'd you end up going??

haha I know Bec its been ages! hey I was still battling for SAU! just in a falcon :nyaanyaa:

Ended up getting a 12.73 @ 110mph pretty happy with that.

Leon did great in the burnout comp, I assume he ended up winning the trophy? I left just before presentations

Thats a bit of a sore point "Sorry guys... I dont know about the burnouts on the back pad but this trophy is for best burnout out here warming up tyres" or something like that :/

Told him I will make him a trophy because it was a good show, and he broke stuff so he deserved a trophy!

Good work, I remember you talking about your car at the Kinglake/Heallsville cruise a few months ago :thumbsup:

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
