First let me say a big thanQ to Buster for organizing another great day at WSID...

It was a good day for many and not so good for a few. Nice to meet a few new faces from team track come over to the darkside and give it a look.

As most of you know I had major gearbox problems on my first run, so no new PB. ThanX to Paul & Stacy from Dirt Garage for the semi's, as it turns out it was my clutch making them god awful noises and it seemed 4door was right. The noises disappeared by the time I drove home. I could have driven the noise out and returned to the track for another run but I didnt want to risk it.

Congrats to John on the 11.5

Hey Rick hope it's nothing too serious and an easy fix. :D

I will do one of these straight line days one day and John I would be more than happy to line up against a stock Z any day on the track or the strip. :uh-huh:

Thanks Bufiveter for organising, sam for showing me a few things and ben for looking after me.

My day went

2.310 14.225 not bad first ever attempt

2.251 14.195

2.202 14.114

2.189 14.050

2.162 14.079 left it in "D" as a benchmark (I got the 60' myself though :))

2.175 13.988 YAY

...

up and down all over the shop some 13.9's and some 14's

then...

2.097 13.885 WHOO HOO!

Had a good fun day and I might even do it again one day :D Maybe one trip to the strip per mod. Sounds like a good idea to me. I got about 35 runs in over the course of the day. Great value for money.

Congrats to the RB20 powered VL which went from 14's to a 12.9 with some cast off slicks and no back seat.

It's quite surreal to be 10 metres from 2 skylines doing massive smokey burnouts but being unable to hear them at all because some lumpy V8 is idling 3 cars behind you in the line.

Is everyone else farking tired? :D

Great day had by just about everyone. Just a couple of quick shout-outs to the merit-worthy:

1/ Buh-five-tah for organising the day - RESTECP!

2/ Evan in the Red VL for SMASHING the WSID record of runs in one day. 48 RUNS down the 1320ft and was taking it EASY!?!?!? 12.9 on his first attempt too! Awesome effort mate - well done!!!

3/ Zoran and Wazza in 'NOMRCY' and 'JG66GT' respectively for racing again and again and again before finally running side-by-side PB's of 10.995 and 11.021 !!!

4/ John for the "easy" 11 second pass! :) Big mph from the Zed (or is it 99% GTR now??)

5/ The WSID officials and staff for not being d1cks and for making the day run smoothly. Would've been nice to have a totally prepared track though.

That's about it - plenty of newbies had a go and loved it, plenty of seasoned racers out there ripping it up. I enjoyed the day and had 18 races (some within 5 minutes of eachother!)

Thanks to all that attended for making it a great day.

Adrian

Yeah, thanks to Brett for organising this and here's hoping the WSID guys give us a little more slack next time ??

Definite newbie as this was first time on the track.

Got in as a birthday present for the missus as she has loved the idea of giving it a go for a long time.

Well...... after a while I said how about you move over and give the old man a go.

We both had a ball today, 24 passes between us without raising a real sweat. Great fun and great value.

We must do it again some time !

Laurie & Genelle

Yes missed that having so much fun Boofta big thanks had big fun. Must do it again at least annual. Make sure you have your beast ready though and we have a run should be close. Make sure you have a better diff than the factory crap near single spinner.

2rismo you wild man you BIG burnouts must show me how and do I need a bottle? Do you have a line locker or do your rear brakes hate you? I am putting one in as my big rears were fitting the engine and the diff and box did not like the load.

By the way don't know if anyone noticed Ben from HPI was there with his camera taking some shots?

muhahah sounds like Adrian was shy on the burnouts again :)

Hopefully everyone had a good day, sounds like most of you got plenty of runs in, very much the opposite of the Wed night things where you get to wait an hour for that 9 seconds or more where you are free :D

John, you better make sure your boat is allowed to run at the Wed night meets, it is meant to be regoed cars only :D

So....now you've all done the gh3y straight line thing....GET TO WAKEFIELD ON MONDAY!

Duncan hahaha spammer

Thanks everyone for making it a great day, it was awesome to see such a great group of people out there racing and having fun

John you amazed me a big congrats on the 11.5 well done mate

Doughy nice work with the 1.7 60ft on drag radials damn shame you missed a gear on that run

Insight with there little Datsun running 9.8 your car is the sh!t

Laurie & Genelle, Dirt Garage boys and girl :D, Abo bob, Morgs, Evan, the boys from Wollongong, Brad, Luke, Ben, Peter, Sam, Supra boys, Matt,Team Westside and anyone else I've forgot (sorry) huge thanks for supporting the day and making it as great as it was, with out you guys it wouldn't have been possible

and last but by no means least the F&E black SR20 180sx running a 10.9 on its first time at the strip RESPECT, actually the whole team from F&E were running amazing times the little starlet and the GTiR of FRISKI's smashing skylines with 12.5's hahaha shweet cars :)

Yes uncle Duncan had the boat tech inspected and have ANDRA licence and ANDRA log book and all legal and confirmed yesterday, no prob for Wednesday nights. Would a trade plate make everyone feel better?

Also Duncan in case you haven't heard you now officially only own one Skyline, and one Datsun nearly forgot.

I've also go about 750 MBytes worth of runs from the day - Sorry not enough web space to host them all.

/edit - not 500MB 750MB - damn those avi's take up space - lucky I have the 1GB Compact flash :D

Awesome day,

Whee do i start

Brett you are a champ thanks for the opportunity to get me in to drag racing! Thanks for the support Adrian, Rick, R33VIT. Abo Bob thanks for the good racing it was mad!

Started the day with advan semislicks @ 20-25psi (cant remember) and got a 13.9 .. i was stoked. Then i slipped in to the 14's for a while then started getting 13's with a best of 13.6 bfore lunch, at this stage I had 20 runs. At this stage the 60' times were 2.2-2.4

At lunch I put the old 225/650/R18 pirelli slicks which had seen better days but on the first run the launch was amazing. A 13.3 and I knew that a 12 was possible.

I had 48 bloody runs, 48!!! I couldnt beleive it.

I ended up running a 12.987 @ 104mph with 1.8 60', my best 60' was 1.7. I got this time 5 minutes before racing ended and it was great to see everyone cheering, the support by both members and the officials on the day was awesome.

N.B. The officials were ledgends, I wasnt expecting that.

Another highlight was the other VL getting a 10 on their last run, congrats.

Hows about that 180 getting a 10.. woo!!

Anyway I had an awesome day and at $3.125 a run I think I got my moneys worth.

Thanks again,

Evan

P.S. I hope everything is good with your car Rick, you didnt deserve that shit to happen.

2rismo you wild man you BIG burnouts must show me how and do I need a bottle?

B-Man should have plenty of footage for you to annalize, John :) Bottle's in burnouts are a big no-no! But to answer your question, yes you need one :D Everyone needs one!

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
