So yeah, just finished editing a little 3:30 video of todays exploits :)

I have learnt two things. 1 - I need better video gear. 2 - I need better sound gear.

GoPro's are great at being strapped to things cameras otherwise wouldn't be strapped to and TERRIBLE for everything else.

Probably another 15 minutes to compile and compress, then god knows how long to upload it.

Get the external mic for it? They are awesome for action shots and such but like you said, crap for general video gear.

Well, my best was a 12.9, which is bang on manufacturer claims.

A bit disappointing because:

A) RS/AMG/M claims are usually 1/2 a second or so too conservative and;

B) I am making around 30 HP over stock.

Oh well...the launches could have been better anyway.

Great day all. Much better than goingbto a normal TnT!

Glad i decided to go to this! Was a great day.

The abomination beat me by 9 hundredths of second across the line :(, but my time was faster. Nick has epic reaction time

That's because he just revs to 3k and sits there with his foot on the brake cooking the tranny fluid till the light goes green and he lets off the brake. Farken shit bloke right there.

This. I wonder if he boiled it?

Right, so here are a few pics from yesterday's QLD SAU drag day.

IMG_2015_zps7b64d03c.jpg

R31 mania :w00t:

IMG_2022_zpse63e9405.jpg

got to put some names to some faces which was great and overall it was a sensational day despite the bad weather

IMG_2026_zpse79821f2.jpg

the event also coincided with a Test n Tune but majority of competing members still managed to get good passes before other cars entered

IMG_2024_zps7df8f754.jpg

weather held up just enough and eventually the heavens opened up around 5:30 and put things to a halt.

A BIG thank you to all of the execs who made this possible and to everyone that came along. Everyone was very well behaved except for Scott (SABBAi) who was more concerned about not having a tan on his legs then actually cheer-leading (actually I'mnot sure if I like any of those statements) :P

That's all i've got.......................................................................

OK just one more........

"11.1sec NUFFSAID"

Glad i decided to go to this! Was a great day.

.09 geez I new it was close across the line lol, another 30 meters and you would of had me :thumbsup:

That's because he just revs to 3k and sits there with his foot on the brake cooking the tranny fluid till the light goes green and he lets off the brake. Farken shit bloke right there.

Cut a 0.012... Was pretty happy :)

No pics of the Silver Slart...I'm impressed.

It was un-intentional mate, and will endeavor to post more pics of everyone in future SAU events. I just need time to familiarise with everyone first :/

Well you know know me so I anticipate alot of photos of The Abomination in the future ;)

Also any videos of me and the Audi?

I'm not worried :P Just impressed as she loves to sneak into photos of other cars.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
