The event went ahead as planned, and the rain held off so that racing wasn't interrupted.

It was this biggest turnout yet, with about 150 entrants, including a number of very quick cars.

Keir Wilsons drag car managed a best of 9.06, and on his final pass was set to make a 8sec pass, but at half track the input main shaft broke. Keir was very positive about the event and plans to be back next year:D

Thanks to all those people that came down to watch, I'm sure you appreciate the high standard of cars that were there.

It was great to see DirtyDezza and Rep003 do so well in the ET classes, proving you didn't need to be the fastest cars to do well. Also nice to see ND4SPD back on the raod with his awesome new engine :drooling:

Well done all the SAUWA entrants, I hope you had fun, lets make sure we continue to support this great event.

Cheers

Drag Combat was awsome :)

I had abit of fun at the beginning pulling in to get my car check to find it had blown the water line from engine to turbo, out of the blue , took 4hrs or so but we got it off and replace it with a new one :D then got the car check out just before it closed (thanks pauly :))

Racing was ok, onyl got 3 runs :( but had heaps of fun, and did some alright burnouts :) couldnt make any good time, car just spun off the line :( race a 11second 180sx (hyperdriev) in my last Sport RWD race i had 3second headstart but the car went noo where off the line ;) so that was the end for me :D

What can i say an awsome event, enjoy giving the flame show in the pits area my car loves limiter action :rofl:

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
