Nulon Nationals Round 4 - 26th September - Final Drag Battle!


Recommended Posts

Cootamundra is the one Round I haven't attended over the past two yrs. I wish I had the time. But congratulations on a great result through efforts that were exemplary. Yes congratulations are in order! Great Club - great guys/girls.

Congratulations to RTDC for winnning the event. SAUNSW really showed the wide range of cars we have, from electric cars and daily grocery getters, to full blown race cars.

We really did use a big range of cars and can be proud of 2nd. We all must thank Nulon for putting on this event and allowing us to showcase ourselves against other clubs.

We now have the target of regaining the number 1 spot for next year.

Awesome series and well done to everyone involved!

Massive thankyou to Nulon for giving us the opportunity to take part and I for one can't wait for next year.

well congrats to RTDC on taking out the championship then, I take it the bonus points relate to their choice to keep the same cars round to round which seems fair to me

Also I think SAU should be proud of coming home second, we had great involvement across a lot of club members, and I bet everyone enjoyed the events. And considering there are 10 clubs competing across 4 rounds I reckon it is a pretty serious competition so 2nd is great outcome.

And finally, well done to Nulon for creating and sticking with this concept....everyone go out and buy their oils!!!

imagine if you didnt blow up everyones cars :P

right fatz?!?!?!

I was really hoping to see KOVAL and WATEVR ( I am fairly sure I spelt that wrong and am sorry if I did ) race, I wanted to line up KOVAL before I broke my car :(

I think everyone did And they were about to but Koval wanted to race Ninos again!

Koval has done heaps of work to that at good to see him well amongst it.

He ran a 10.1@130mph a few weeks ago at WSID, I ran 10.8 133mph on 23-24psi with the H pattern box with no traction on a cold night on cold semis so with the better semis and the sequential with better ratios and modded transfer case should have allow me to use all 28psi would have made for a good race, 19psi with the head lifting saw me do 11.3 on my only ever pass at Coota

I think if WATEVR got the launch right he would have owned KOVAL though

Just wanted to say congrats to SAU and its members for a huge effort this year. The bonus points were put in place to stop teams stacking certain rounds, the choice to stack worked for SAU this year, But remember this, if you had 1 car that did all 4 rounds, you would of won by 30 points. 2016 will see a revised bonus points system (if any at all)

Please remember this event is designed to be fun first and foremost, those who get upset about it really should take a step back and realise that it is all meant to be a bit of fun and a good excuse to go away racing for the weekend. The event is still young, and i am learning new things every round. 2016 will be huge and limited spots will be open to general members of the public.

Thanks to everyone that gave up their time for this years series... We had a blast running it. Bigger and better next year, we are heading to some of the biggest tracks in Aus. Stay tuned for more info on this.

Massive thanks again to you Chris for involving us in this comp!

I'm not sure we had any cars capable of running all 4 rounds lol... :)

All good, I think a top effort to us and a big congrats to RDTC!

I managed to attend (unfortunately only spectate) 2 of the 4 events this year and had an absolute blast. Can't wait for next year.

Final standings folks!

Mat and I will be checking everyone out at the upcoming Texi and track events while we decide who to include in next year's team! What a good time to show your stuff and get involved!

Thanks Chris for putting in all the effort, for what its worth it really is a fun event and worth it just to spend some time with good friends and enjoy racing..

Dont worry RTDC i dont really think you cheated, but its not gonna stop me giving you grief about it.. :D

In all seriousness I think the points system was spot on, given there was only 24 or so point difference between 1st and 2nd over the whole event, if team SAU had have had a better run in the first round or had Turismo been available for the first round and not have the two fastest cars have mechanical issues in the second round then this series would have had a different outcome

I think it did a good job of leveling the playing field when putting up a club like SAUNSW that has been around for near enough 10 years with about 1000 members up against a club like RTDC that has been around for like 2 years with less then 150 members

I think it was a great series with some very good close battles

Hey Chris any thoughts on getting other clubs involved? Maybe lowest scoring club gets dropped and a new club is picked from a pool of interested clubs at random?

Yeah this is something we are looking at..i have a wrx club that are interested in joining next year. their application said something about Skylines being nuggets and they wanted to prove that" i think i might have to give them a spot.

i am also toying with the idea of opening a limited number of spots up to general members of the public. This means that people can purchase series entries at a good price and drive in all 4 rounds not linked to a club, but going for a drivers championship.

thoughts?

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • 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.
