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?

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
