Hey guys,

My mate and I are keen to get out and hit a drag strip to see whose car is really faster*, I'm trying to work out when and where the best place is to do this?

Heathcote is a long way from where we live, but seems like it's the only place doing it?

Is there an SAU drag day coming up any time soon? I recall them in the past but I couldn't see anything in the calendar.

Cheers.

*220rwkw semi-stripped Sil80 vs. 230awkw Evo, who do you think will win? I reckon due to lack of skill on both our parts the Evo's AWD system will smash me.

I heard a while back ANDRA is bringing back drag racing and running events at Calder. The venue will apparently be fixed up etc. If it all goes to plan this could be a very good thing.

After a quick search

You never get many runs in at Calder when it is going. I like Heathcote but unless they've fixed it its like a goat track when you pass the finish and the mph at the end was always reading too high. I think I once did about 35 passes in one day there.

Yeah finally after it left in the mid 90s... Calder appears to be getting it's act together to bring back what I grew up on as a kid.
Will mean Calder are going to have to spend some serious money though to fix the entire place up. It's a joke at the moment.

Spuen calder isn't open at the moment and im unsure when it will be. ill be racing at Heathcote sometime soon (hopefully) to claim top pozzie on the sau-vic drag times in r33 gtst. Im putting my money on the Evo to win.... IF the driver knows how to launch and isn't a pussy on the throttle. Best of luck to both drivers and both cars. Enjoy the race :)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
