remeber last year when i first join in here, we have a wonderful Drag day with RPM.

plenty of chance to run, able to chat with other members and check out their car.

still remeber timmy did over 20 run and run a very good time.

there is plenty of drift day now but no drag day at all.

the drag night in AIR is okay but i hate the wait and lack of chances to relax.

anyone interest at the idea?

are you talking a private occassion here. if so i would be interested. although i havent dragged before at air im sure my jitters and butterflies wouldnt be as bad as if it was a public meeting in front of spectators. also wouldnt mind knowing how fast the 180 actually is.

I got 14 runs in last Wednesday night, including a break in the middle and went home early. Was a great night, except the start line was too slippery and I found out the other day I was down 4psi (due to a cracked silicon hose). Next time Gadget - next time .....

The last one was awesome. Small crowd, close up views and nice relaxed atmos.

Another one would be wicked... I reckon I could even convince Jaffa to run the lumpy machine :wave:

Bloody hell, if he doesn't, ill nick it for the day haha :wave:

Perhaps a combined day with the LS1 lads? Bit of 4 v 6 v 8 rivalry :wave:

haha, yeah was a top day:)  yeah ill be in for the next one. can ring AIR and organise it, but its not cheap. About $4000 for the track hire, so you need a good turn out and money up front

same as last time, around 50 cars, $80 each.

I was thinking Skyline Aust, LS1, Nissan Silvia, Club Psi and the GSR/EVO

a mix of 4,6,8 :/

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
