Yeah ill be heading down, not Skyline affiliated though!

My brother has a Blue HQ with a big F**K off engine in it... She doesnt look real pretty at the moment (body wise) but she should run a mid 11 tonight and he can pull a mean skid aswell - he has won the burnout comp quite a few times.

Soon the engine will be coming out in favour of a forced induction Chev with a big HP nitros setup. And we are also painting the car VB can green with an ice pearl over the top.... should look the goods.

I will be cruising around wearing a HSV jacket so if you see me aswell please say'hello.

Good luck Nick. Hope all goes well for you mate... See you tonight

ha ha its real hard lining up against some of those old school V8's and rotors that run 11's... can't even hear my car! a couple of times I have reached for the ignition only to discover its already on! staging and then waiting for those big loud bastards to take off so I can concentrate on my launch!

... hey is there a better way to block off the coolant overflow bottle without just tying a knot in the rubber piping?... I lost a lot of coolant last time...

when i went to the drags (heathcote with a ford club) they had to put a coke bottle in there for the overflow, so that the coolant didnt drip on the track....if thats what ur talking about

Well thanks for the "early" notice :P

Here i am, at home, waiting for my mate to finish working at Calder, when i could have been there, having a few runs with you guys :) .

Lately i have been considering taking it down, to see how much of an improvemnt the car has made since last time. Now i will have to wait another month b4 i can test it, as it is getting a few more performance tweaks.

ohh well, have a great night and post up your results.

Al

its ok Al... i think its about time another SAU drag day was held... hasnt been one for like...

FOREVER!!

man i still had my 32 back then and it was stock!

maybe wait til my new skyrines here so i can feel like one of the family again :P

just got back... and my ears are still ringing from all those big cube engines with no exhaust!

best was:

13.75 @ 103mph with a 60 foot of 2.2sec

getting some axle tramp, found it hooked up best with gradually feeding the throttle in after launching at 3000rpm... would have like to get a better 60ft time but oh well its still a pretty good time for stock turbo and ecu

time for beer

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
