Sau Vic Wins Tri Club Drag Challenge


Recommended Posts

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:

I have some pics on my facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?set=a.10151289197785593.804411.800850592&type=1

but not many.

I have to filter through the video of the day & once I have given it to respective owners I will post on youtube if they want.

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!

i am the owner of the blue gtr.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
