Apart from the PB's of 2rismo, Stacie, Paul etc i'd actually like to mention the efforts of Glen in his Black R33 GTS-t whom I was helping most of the day. The car only has a full exhaust, air filter and 10psi boost and we got it from 14.5@98mph down to a 13.5@100mph. That car can't be pushing more than 170rwkw and for a first days effort at a drag strip I think that's top work. I think a 13sec flat will be on the cards for the next event by the time a PowerFC and FMIC is fitted/tuned.

Ben, Thanks for all your help (and tyres) yesterday i had a ball. i did realise there was an art to drag racing other than just dropping the clutch at 7000rpm! I was only hoping for a flat 14, but after your handly hints i managed to get it below that. Hopefully there will be another one soon....so i can get my 60 foot time down lower than 2.2 and exceed 100MPH!

Must also say a big thanks to Adam for organising the day for us. Thanks heps mate loved it! Will be at the next one for sure (and hopefully with some new go fast bits)

That's a bloody awesome time - congrats to all involved with the car.

I actually had one run against you and I felt like I was standing still when you passed me half way down the quarter. I have to say that I now have an even greater appreciation of the raw speed of a legitimate 10sec car. That thing is a machine :D

Glad to see everyone had a good time.

Bad luck about the bearing Mirko, the fuel pump John, another pb (2) for Adrian - well done, pb's for both Stace and Paul :D, also for Moanie, Brad, Brenden, and me.

Silver and BLK, well done on your efforts. First time and you both did really well as did Mark with a pretty quick time for someone who has never been before.

BIG THANKS to Ed and Infected Flow for your help with the BBQ. That was great and certainly appreciated by the club.

I did get a pb (13.5) but not what I was hoping for. Spent more than half the day trying to figure out what my problem was. It ended up being the plastic AFM to turbo pipe sucking closed when it got hotter and softer. I got worse 60 footers than the last time with street tyres too. And then there was that random run of 13.8 with an extra 5 mph trap speed.

Oh well that's drag racing.

Thanks to all who organised....

Had a great time even though my Skyline stayed home with a nice big puddle of oil underneath it, luckily I had the missus car to use. The black WRX wagon that looked oh so out of place :Oops:

Unfortuanately the piece of sh** WRX could only manage a 14.3, not too bad for a pretty standard car, but you just can't launch the thing - either bogs down or you have to slip the clutch (not very friendly)...

But great to see all the Skylines out there, next time I'll bring a real car too!!

Again, thanks to all the organisers.

Was a top day. Big thanks to the organisers, can't wait for the next one :)

Was very happy with the 11.2, now i just have to play around with a few things and get a new clutch and we'll go hunting for that 10 :)

Congrats to Stace and Paul on the 10.3 and Adrian on his new PB and a big thanks for those tyres :)

Cheers

Andrea

great day guys. nice photo of marks car doing a burnout. sweet.

BTW what times did JETT run? what about UREADY?

congratulations to all those people who races. what time did 2rismo run?

Adam, i've got a few photos of your car dude, it's just not what I classify as great photos... however, I'll be posting them up tonight, never fear :)

Mark: I've got a ton of photos of your car (> 30, all in a similar style... :) Big burnouts = great photos!

The sun was a total bitch in the morning, so people that mainly ran in the morning won't have as good photos as others unfortunately.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
