hey guys what a awesome day well done to everyone to all you guys I know i had a ball and said at the begining of the day id be stoked to get anywhere in the 13's but to get to a 13.444 now im just hanging out for that 12 second pass LOL (The bug has got me).

Just one question who is Matt???????

Scott..

good work guys, i am keen to get out to WSID now... but an injector started leaking today so I thats the 4th problem in a week, cant wait to get out there.

Chris, flat 12 is so awesome!

Adrian, consistency!

B-man, you got an 11 coming your way, she will come.

R33vit, a 12 is nice what power do you have?

It's good to see all these nice RB's hitting the streets after everyone has put the hard yard's in, it seems the last few weeks they have really been coming together!

Once Brett and Merli get out there SAU is definately going to be a huge force....

BTW, anyone got a spare skyline badge for me? :)

BF GOODRICH Drag Combat brought to you by BF GOODRICH where BF GOODRICH gave away $1000 of BF GOODRICH tyres and Gary Meyers killed a couple of sets of BF GOODRICH tyres given to him by his sponsor BF GOODRICH was pretty crappy in my opinion. Great times, great cars, but boy did [cabin]'s organisation stink again. Massive breaks, the commentators had no idea what was going on, and so on. It was very dissapointing especially compared with other great events that have been on at WSID so far. [cabin] needs to sit down and have a good think before the next event.

Reading this thread makes me miss Sydney... well done on the times guys!

When does Drag Combat come to Vic, some healthy NSW v Vic competition would be fun, and i can put a few ppl up for the weekend... in Brunswick East.

Was the management of the event better then the first round, more cars then before????

I kept falling asleep because of the breaks, the chaos over the eliminations ladder, the timing gear breaking down, and the delays which put the programme ~2 hours behind schedule kinda made it crappy.

But a strong SAU contingent made the day great. Great meeting new people from the forums, and then (cause we are all in the same class) racing against them was tops - the people made the event. Brett's some sort of SAU Drag mascot - was there to lend a big hand, storage and tools facility all in one.

Breaking my drag racing hymen was kinda funny too, I was expecting to be all nervous with the crowd + having no idea but it was actually very relaxing. I only got aggitated from not being able to do a burnout (the advice of "touch the breaks" left me stalling the car, have decent pads in the back for track work) and launching pretty damn sad. Heh the aggression paid off, with me flatchanging off the revlimiter + eventually damaging the shifter. Highly recommend doing it again, i think an SAU streetmeet would crap all over the DC event.

We call him "Bobbo". He ended up with my tools, I have Stacey's pressure guage, Scott has my torch and someone ate my Mars Bar.... wait.....that was me.... :)

And he's MY pit bitch so back off or i'll scratch ya eyes out! :)

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything 
    • 🏆 Skyline Supremacy Meets Mount Panorama Magic 🏆 Join SAU NSW as we take the long way to Bathurst, the home of GTR greatness. Saturday 30th August 2025 7:00AM Meeting Hanna Park North Richmond 7:30AM Departure Cruise Via Bells of Line Road 9:00AM Arrival to Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat 9:45AM Arrival to Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit Meet Location: Hanna Park North Richmond Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit   *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
