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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
