April 2nd 2005 Queensland round of Drag combat

Who is keen to attended?

Race or spectate

Would be good to have a strong Queensland SAU showing.

Only 3 months away

Should have my car ready by then to race

Far out. Next years going to quick already! :P

I was hoping to have a few cars to put on display at events like this in 2005. Not to compete in the best ricer awards, but to get our name out there that SAu exist as a club. If anyone is interested, pm me and I'll get in contact with the guys who run drag combat (is it cabin?) and get more information.

I'll put the car on display if you need some numbers, never done it before :thumbsup:

But ill have a go at 'racing' too, depending alot on track/temp conditions.

That and DYO sucks most of the time,

Last year was insane, track temps were over 50! I wouldnt have run my car even if i owned a commodore :flamed:

Willowbanks' sheet metal stands dont exacly help cool the crowd/spectators down either :(

would be nice to race, but guess there is no point at the moment.. I'll probably just spectate.

It was worth going to though.. esp. the model show :wassup: should make it an SAU event.. with a joint cruise down there and maybe a club area.. idea anyhow.

There goes that Idea.

DRAG COMBAT 2005

 

MEDIA RELEASE

Sydney: January 17, 2005

Drag Combat 2005

It is with deep regret that Cabin Auto Salon announces the cancellation of Drag Combat Queensland, which was to be held at Willowbank Raceway on April 2, 2005.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, however we will be working to secure another Queensland date hopefully sometime later in the year.

In the meantime Drag Combat will still feature at Quit Motorplex in Perth on April 23, and Western Sydney International Dragway on May 28.

Drag Combat Manager

Fine by me? I might come out and watch :mad: By the looks of that email, it looks like they are trying to get another date in Brisbane, just depends on willowbanks availability.

Sucks about the weather last year, i think that's got a lot to do with it being cancelled. :mad:

      R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
