Great going Sam.

Any 60' sub 2.0 secs on true street tyres is something to be proud of.

Mid 13s on your first ever trip to the track is no mean feat either.

MPH says there's a little more in her yet too!

After Danh's issues earlier in the day, we lost interest in running last night, so poker it was.

Thanks guys :D

too bad you couldnt make it down, i was looking forward to seeing the Calais & GT-R run down the strip.

heres my best timeslip, lol @ my R/T on this one! i did my burnout dropped it out of gear & forgot to put it back into gear afterwards :P thankfully the R/T doesn't affect the ET :D

btw - im #647, left lane.

You launched well with that power, street tyres and weight Sam :thumbup:

Try some semislick next time and you could be in the 12.

Sorry for the absence. Hopefully I will get my track toilet to the drag strip soon :D

nice 60" sam..... My car is having boost problems.... (only operating at factory levels and some huge knock --> ive seen 130 a couple of times)... Hoping to get it sorted b4 friday..... hope to see you guys at the next lot of drags...

cheers guys! SAU drag day sounds like a good idea to me. I was one of only 3 skylines there. the other was a stock looking R31 silo that did 11s and the other was an R32 GT-R running huge slicks and in the 10s!!! i lined up against them both and got totally blitzed :P

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

Would have been nice to watch.

BTW is anyone coming out to spectate this Saturday at AIR?

Keir is coming out. Hopefully he will complete the R&D with the first few runs. He's expecting to dial in the max amount of nos with treaded radial ( if everything go well). It will be fun to watch.

hey theres two r31's the one that has the twin turbo v8 was at "prostock" and ran into 10's from what i hear. the other is a mate and ran a 11.6 (guy works for madaz) or so its na with a gt turbo and aftermarket tunning. both are gts1's !!!

we should organise a SAU drag day at the beginning of next year.  Book a fully prep track and have as many runs as possible.

imo that would cost a bit

i was looking into booking out malla for a drive day and for 30 ppls it was gunna cost us all 400bux as u can imagine i didnt get alot of interest ...this was when i had my R31

remeber i was checking out a drive day @ mallala with the guys from that racing mob where u drive there race prep'd commo's cept i said we didnt want those we drive our 'lines we were gunna get instructors tuition if u wanted it i think lunch it was a full day with 2 instructors also :(

Danh, how did Keir go on the weekend?

track was poorly prepared

we got there early and keir did not run until 2ish

keir had only one run and could not get the power to the ground anywhere

we packed up and left after that :(

a few beers and late lunch with the boys was the only good part of the day :)

oh I forgot,

apparently after we left the track was shut down for 2 hours by Andra due to the sun. Timing gears broke after that and everyone race with out timing gear :(

Can't wait to see better management at AIR and the timing board back on the stands :) Lets not organise anything at AIR until we see some improvement. The place is quite embarassing for south australian compare to avenues in other states.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
