Thanks to everyone that came out in the true spirit and gave thier cars a flogging.

Hats off the the NDSOC boys & girls as they put on an wonderful day.

Brilliantly organised and some of the GTR's there... two words

****ing Amazing

In total awe of these guys, and some of them Zed's, they go arite indeed, sneaky little packages.

Again, thanks to everyone... even though we didnt organise it, NDSOC deserve a pat on the back.

Some highlights

Kier's "drag car" - 8.7 or 8.6 (i think) @ around 160mph or maybe 150mph... i cant remember.

Kier's "street car" - 9.5 or 9.6, that car was amazing, not using slicks... didnt get close enough to see what tyres though.

AVO had a car form the ACT there, i thinkiit busted a 9.

Overall a septacular to watch, throughly enjoyed it :P

We'll have a drag day later this year of our own :P

Cheers - ash

Yeah, standing next to it while it ( the 8sec car ) riped the burnt out was ****ing awsome. Amost kill my chest though :P , Ash ripped burn out in true Japanese style. Sideway burnt out pass the chrismas tree.

I and Letmedrive was suprise to find out our SthEast meet up has got more cars turn up than the Main one. Sorry guys i missed the turn into Hume sad enough i called Troy( YLWGTR) to ask him how to get back to Hume again lol and as always, Troy is there when help is needed.

I pretty much forgot everyone names ( getting old, sorry ) but call out to the guy in the silver stock R33 that were in front of me when we started to do bracket qualify, you might need new diff oil as i was lining behind you when u were doing the pre-run burnt out, there was only one wheel spining.

Again, it was a good day. Dry, cold perfect if my clutch wasn't slipping i might dip it into the low 12 or even flat i hope.

awesome day!!

I got it down to consistent 13.4s at 106 mph with the car grabbing traction pretty well. 2.1 second 60 fts. I ran low boost (10-11 psi) all day cos i was scared of Detontation, so thats why the lowish terminal speed = I felt that I could have given it a MUCH harder launch cos my tyres - Potenza 8000s 265s were gripping so hard i was too chicken to give it more power :P

Enjoyable day, was Behind keir when he ran his 8.7 PB and I congratulated him on the way back!!

G'day Guys,

Glad to hear you all had a great day........ that's what it's all about isn't it?

Keir Wilson's cars were just awesome to watch but I was really impressed by the overall quality of pretty much all the cars that lined up. (that said, some did run some ordinary times too.... hehe)

The turn out was awesome ........

On behalf of the NDSOC I just want to thank all the SAU guys (and girls?) that made the drive out to Heathcote. It's the cars and people that line up that make the event.

Ash - was great to meet you mate. Will hopefully catch up with you again somewhere down the track.

Cheeers, :cheers:

BIG THANKS! to NDSOC for inviting our club for this event, was truely a great day and very well organised. The weather cleared out nicely and remained very cold, great for our turbo engines.

Very disappointed at the turn out at Ford carpark (Only Ash and myself), but very happy to see a lot of Skylines make the drive up to Heathcote.

I was carrying my camera all day but did not take one pic :P. Too lasy and cold to take my hands out my pockets and line up a shot :cheers:.

I beleive Ash's best time, for the day, was his first run; 12.1. We were all hoping he was going to dip into the 11's but his clutch decided not to co-operate and threw in the towel. I truely think his car has the potential to run a 11sec pass.

Well dine guys/girls and see you all at the next event.

TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT DAY, THANKS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED ORGANISE IT!

I managed a [email protected] and a 60ft of 2.1 with a Front pipe back exhaust (no dump), POD, 12psi, GTR front mount and HANKOOK K104's 265/35/18 tyres.

Is this a good time for my mods? or should i be going a bit better. Ive noticed that some people with a worse 60' time than mine got into the 13's.

Oh and this might be a stupid question but does the timer start when the lights go green or when u take off? This is in test and tune BTW

Any help would be appreciated

:cheers:

I'll be around Raul :P

I'll try beat your hat with one of my interesting ones :cheers:

and yeah, i ran a 12.1 @ 111mph first run, then i let the tyres down for more traction... which actually worked against me and the best i could do was a 12.5 rest of the day.

I'll get there eentually, the car is interesting to launch ;)

My clutch never got sorted on time *sniff* :rofl: I wouldve been there...

Starionturbo what tyres did you end up using?

HKS-R33, that time is good for 97mph, but I would think that 97mph is a little low for your mods...

Hey riggaP, what could be some possible causes of a low mph. I'm kinda suspecting that my boost may not have been getting to 12psi in higher gears. Could this be the problem?

:rofl:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
