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.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
