A crew of us will be heading up to supernats a yearly pilgrimidge we take. Great show and good racing, all put on by a good team and of coarse Ahmed. So if anyone is heading out dont be shy to come say g'day we will be there with the dark blue FC Holden with a v8, and also a dark purple vl commo with a rb20. If any of you drag regulars are going to be there let me know so I can do the same, come say g'day!!

Cheers,

Daniel

Seen your car doing some runs, looks cool and goes well also awesome street car you have there!!!

Old man picked up overall winner of show and go, so it was a long but good weekend, awesome event that gets better and better every year. Hopefully in the future ANDRA and WSID will actually work for there money and prepare the track properly, as alot of people we talked to said it was ridiculousy bad, people like Mark Hayes with the baby blue torana said it was the worst track they have experienced there since it opened!!!

I've been to pratically every single event WSID has ever held (except for motorbike events pfft) and I must say that the Supernats was easily the best event i've ever been to by an absolute country mile.

Their is nothing better than watching some of Sydney's best Rotors against some blown v8's running door handle to door handle. It was also nice to see some decent burnouts (compared to the lame ass wed nite attempts).

Soon as their was a problem on the track (oil down or accident etc) Ahmed was straight out into the pits hustling guys to do some big burnouts or do something crazy. That's exactly how an event should be run, none of this 30min break stuff and then cut things out (or short) because they run out of time.

The Supercruise was tops to watch, their was too much happening at once, if only I could have kept 1 eye on each end of the track I would have been happy. Their were also plenty of babes around the place (i'm hoping someone is going to post some pics up???).

The perfect leadup to the Summernats in 2mths :D

Top event, 9.8 out of 10 (loses 0.2 because it was a hot day).

I agree. It was defnitely the best organised event I have been to at WSID and much better than any of the other Jamboree or import drag events I have been to. There was never a break of more than 15 mins with either burnouts or other entertanment that made for an action-packed day. Well done to Ahmed and the Supernats group.

that bezerkly skyline looked like he strugeld to get his launch right, bogged down everytime i saw it. but looked like it had some pretty mean top end

First time racing EVER and he clocked a best of 12.2 @ 124mph! When I told him what 124mph translates to in terms of potential he freaked out a bit... lol Not bad for some well sorted bolt-ons.

Look for him at every event in the immediate future (I think the bug has bitten) :P

It was a top day and what an event for his first run ever! Talk about pressure to perform :unsure: . 12.2 was a good time and 124mph is brilliant! We only got a few runs so there isnt much practise time!

It was an adrenalin filled day and night, with sunburn , laughs and snags as well....

;):D:P:D:P

awesome day, bit burnt now though.  that bezerkly skyline looked like he strugeld to get his launch right, bogged down everytime i saw it. but looked like it had some pretty mean top end

I have to agree this years Supernats was awesome had time in between runs to head up into the grandstands and watch the big boys play little dissapointed though as the heat worked against me all day with some new Falkens I could not get anywhere near my best time.

Did have some issues though with intercooler piping though.

13.9 was the best for the day.

Had fun doing burnouts on the supercruise though

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
