Very good day guys. I've been to just about every single event (except motorbikes) that WSID has run since day 1 and I have to say that today rated easily in the top 3 events i've attended.

The style of the event made it extremely easy to muck around with tyre pressures, work out the best rpm to launch at, watch other peoples techniques etc without having to wait in line 45mins between runs (Wed nite street meets). I'm just kicking myself that I sold my Skyline 3mths ago, certainly would have had time to figure out that elusive 13sec pass today.

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.

Apart from Marks very minor fluid spill after lunch it was really good to see a day with no holdups, that is extremely rare at WSID.

p.s. any pics/video of my $hitbox are more than welcome

Mark I have about 5 of your runs/burnouts on the camcorder. It's a neighbours camcorder so hopefully it won't take me too long to get it into a digital format for you.

Thanks to all who organised a great day, and appreciate all the support from the SAU'ers.

Well...10.3@134MPH who would have thought.....A 2530 powered GTR takes 5th place (HPI street drag list) off the T51R SPL powered JPC GTR. Just goes to show that you can run the numbers without a big single. Fixing the transfer case (not transfering enough front drive) and setting up a two-step rev limiter could see TWOOGLE a nine!......stay tuned folks!!

P.S. 2rismo love your stuff bud! Nice numbers.

woohoo, what a day!!! Big ups to the organisers as it was an awesome day :)

I had about 8 runs with a PB of 11.2 at 122mph which Andrea and i are absolutely stoked over. The cars previous best was a 12.0 at 117mph. Was trying to back up the 11.2 so hard i ended up frying the clutch and had to tow it home :( :( she will be back bigger and badder than it is now though so its all good :):(

Congrats to Paul and Stacey, that 10 was to easy for you, now you gotta go chasing that 9 second pass :(:D I am sure with some giggle gas it will happen sooner rather than later :D

Adrian, congrats as well on your new PB :huh: shame you suffered a similar fate as us and your car didnt drive home but thats drag racing i guess.... sometimes you win, some times you lose :(

There were so many cars and so many awesome times run by all and i am happy to see this one go off without any major hitches. I just want to know when we need to have the car fixed by so i can make the next day..... mmmm, a retune with some ET 103 should get us that 10 we are so close to :D :D :D so someone set another date..... please.....

Now for the pics... i am sure Merli got quite a few so where are they :D:D

Gotta love this pic :D

Paul mate awesome time and a huge congrats to yourself and Stace but just double check that HPI mag as I'm looking in No56 and it says the APC T51r GTR has ran 9.778 and is in 4th position

You would think that HPI would update its online records before they publish them in the mag ...

Looks like 10's will be required for almost all turbo categories soon :huh:

Well done to everyone who participated on the day and to those who set a PB!

Huge congrats to Paul with the 10.3. Awesome stuff. Time to rebuild the transfer case and get the front wheels spinning too! Stace, into the 11's right next to me. Well done buddy.

Brad, I told you the tyres were the $hit, I said to flog the burnout hard and look what happens?!?!? 11.2 !!! :) Well done buddy - hope the car's back on the road sooner rather than later.

Thanks Adam for the organisation - day went smoother than any other meet at WSID I've ever attended.

Rotary times? No? No? Didn't think so :huh: Who should be sponsored by Kleenex now biatches!!!

Adrian

Booted it over the line Paul well done. I have some of your runs on vid but left prior to your 10.3 which is a shame but then I guess you don't plan on staying there long? Where are all the other GTR's in NSW as I only saw yours Paul flying the flag?

Slot car had issues on the dyno Sat night finally found out one of the 044 pumps was making noise but no flow and a few other things so unfortunately could not make it.

2rismo maybe I could not see it in this thread what was your best time and yes I have vid of your burnout and a few runs, email me and I can send it to yoiu.

Yep fish tailing down the track got a few and should have mentioned this. I think I just created a lot of work for myself. Lucky I am an enthusiast hey. I can't remember any other cars I captured but will check and let anyone else know. I was not there that long and went home frustrated, I find it hard to watch rathe have a go.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
