Damn I would have loved to watch Stacey and Paul run.

What was the best time for TWO-06L?

11.2 and it looks as though "our"..(read borrowed) box has sustained damage. I tried very hard not to break it but stock GTR boxes just dont cut it with this sort of power. Promise was shown with our set-up as 1.6 60' times were seen as well as 130+MPH.

Decent day for $25, pity the officials don't understand the rules :)

I still find it interesting how with such a wide variety of cars attending wed nite street meets that the majority of the "street cars" that race at these weekend major events have never been to a wed nite street meet.

Awesome day...even though I got a little roasted in the sun. Definately will be there for the next one :)

two.06l, your car looked and sounded awesome from the stands. Well done on the car and the times posted.

Great to see a heap of other Skylines out there posting up some good times as well. Congrats to everyone who competed.

BTW, did any of the rotaries end up breaking 7 secs? I had to leave just before 5pm, so I didn't get to see them run during the evening...

Morning ppl, nice to see many of you yesterday.

Yesterday was good for me as I could watch Pauly and Twoogle race. Twoogle was looking and sounding awesome, thanks Mason.

I had to say 'enough is enough' when at 8.00pm, after a full day of racing, Paul is still trying to find that elusive .2 of a sec. I did not want to be there at midnite pushing twoogle onto a trailer with a smashed gearbox.

Looking forward to Drag combat now as the new rules seems to really suit slow chick drivers like me. Start infront, and try and stay there, apply breaks before the finish line if in dought. STACE

ahhhh! now it makes sense! I was wondering what all the fast fours ricers were doing at Eastern Creek when there was a race meet on next door :)

Well done to all the SAUers who ran, it was a damn hot for racing yesterday :P

Awesome work everyone that raced and spectated

Great to see Abflug and Two06l smashing out some very low 11's, 2rismo smashing some very low 12's  and anyone else I forgot hahaha :)

Was good to get the car out on the track and meet some of you guys.

Did 11.2 with a 1.9 60 foot so we need more grip off the line. The down side to the day for me was breaking the HKS box. Hope i can get it fixed for Drag Combat.

Great day with some not so great times. Learnt a bit more about my setup (read: tyres) and will make some small changes for next time.

Was funny that my car went 12.3 @ 95mph though. That was worth a giggle - running 12.36 on a 12.40 dial-in wasn't so funny :) hehe...

Yes after doing 12.4-12.6's all day to then do a 12.3 whilst braking was quite impressive :(

Hope nobody had their car broken into. The little event organisers at the parking gates said that their were heaps of breakings and to let them know if their were any issues. My van was in 1 piece :)

I red WRX and a white VL Calais were stoeln from the car park at about 6pm last night. Quite a number of cars were broken into also. That was one of the first things that popped into my head when I parked my car - lack of security and the field of cars around that would be a thief's playground.

I was good to see a few people from SAU. Paul and Stacey, every time I went to the pits/staging lanes to say hello you weren't around. So I took some pics anyway. :D

Bad luck about the HKS box, abflug. Any idea what went wrong? Congrats on the 11.2.

Adrian, what did you change with the car to make it revert back to it's quicker running? Unlucky with the break out mate.

What was it with some races having different class cars running together? Looked like they were all over the place and hard to keep track of.

Overall, an excellent day and I look forward to drag Combat and Qld Jamboree. Hopefully there will be a few more Skylines racing.

Will post pics and videos tomorrow night.

Hey Mik, so much for the "You'll need 11's to qualify, low 11's" :D 16th qualifier in SR was 12.766!

NXTIME, only took two degrees timing out instead of 3. Everything felt better - the launch was marginally better, the burnout was better (finally) and the car was smooth as silk the whole run. I rushed into stage to try and put the 10.5 second rotary off and it worked. Cut a crappy light but then jumped on the brakes too late. The car sounded so smooth I wished i'd stayed into it. The time at half track was almot a tenth better than when I went 11.9 so I guess we'll see what happens next time.

More tyre pressure would have been good too. Bog central - even in 2nd. ;)

Adrian

2rismo I still think on your final run (where you broke out) that the rotary took longer than 20sec to stage. I was watching it carefully (hoping you would deliberately stage straight away to try and win that way, I know I would) and the starter had a stopwatch but he started it well after you had already staged and looked like he was hanging out until the rotary had staged.

Their was also another case where a guy in that white datsun 1200 with the blue nissan sticker on the side had video footage of him being held at the line for 48sec, yup they (wsid) really stuffed that up :D

I thought this would have been automatic with the timing system for that type of event rather than input from a person?

There was a number of instances where the rules were applied when they clearly shouldn't have, and vice versa. However, I did notice that the starter would not allow a car to stage because there were track officials checking the track after a pass.

The biggest brain explosion by officials in my eyes was Craig Melbourne's blue Mazfix RX3. In the elimations of Oz Mod, he was on a solo pass, and as he always does, he ripped the biggest burnout of the day (past the start line) and the starter decided to be anal and kicked him out. The crowd reacted by going from cheering and clapping Craig to jeering and booing the starter. he did let him run but no tiume was given and he was eliminated, ironically, on a solo pass!).

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
