ah shit I think you're right. ah well one more week won't kill me.

I've done a lot of circuit racing but I've never been down the 1/4 so I have no idea what to expect. Do you know roughly what trap speed an R33 could do with 240rwkw?

My 34 with 220 at the rears I get 167-170km/h

Supposed to be clearing tomorrow and Wednesday, I have been keeping an eye on it all week, isolated shower or two for Wednesday evening. No doubt that will be focused on WSID lol. I'm going anyway, will be hiring a trailer and buying a helmet Wed morning after getting my GoPro back.

If I get my car back before then and the weather is clear ill be down there

Might head down to watch, you guys gotSAU stickers so I can spot your cars??

I'm going to pop down from Newcastle, where I'm working for the next two weeks and spectate. I haven't gone to the drags as a spectator in ages! I'll be sure to say g'day if I recognise your car's lads.

The last time I ran at Eastern Creek was about 1999-2000, back when 13sec was quick for a street car.

alright I'm leaving soon. I'll be there probably on my own. send me a PM it will come to my phone if you want to meet up. My R33 doesn't stand out at all looks pretty standard just silver colour with the factory spoiler in black

Couldn't have asked for better weather in the end!

A reasonable turn out of Skylines, including a blast from the past with the ex-Advan Performance purple R33. I rocked up just in time to see a very tidy silver 33 GTS25t run 12.3 @ 124mph. After a bit of a chat with the owner (top bloke - is on Sau too) I suggested a few things to help with his launch and traction... a run or so later and he nailed a 11.10 @ 128+! Great driving dude. Congrats!

That 33 was fast! Smashed me on my last run. A mix of tyres not designed for drag racing and getting no traction and forgetting I had a boost controller *facepalm* meant my times were shithouse. Having never driven at the drags on that turbo setup, my launches were terrible with slow 60 foot times, fun night and the car didnt break! Didnt see the old Advan car run but saw a weapon R32 run an 8. Mmmmmmmm.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
