Calder Park Drag Racing 7th Aug 2010

After a busy week at work it was decided to take the 180sx to the Saturday Drags at Calder Park Raceway. With a quarter of a tank of Powerplus 110 Octane Race Fuel, a full bottle of Nitrous, and some 235 semi-comps on the rear, off to Calder we went...

The clutch not being up to the task became evident when it slipped first time in the burnout patch. Having made it all the way there and through scrutineering I decided to 'baby' the clutch and try and get a few passes in. The car showed some great potential with a best ET of 12.1 with a 2.2 60', and a best trap speed of 126 mph! Can't wait for a good clutch / box / tire combo for some much better times

Thanks to my mate Dush for this video from the pits - Struggling for traction & slipping clutch still 122 mph



I also took my new toy to the track, my GoPro HD Hero - Motorsport high definition video camera. To my surprise the track marshals had no concerns what so ever with it, and I got some great footage. I'm still to edit and reduce it to a suitable size for the web, but I'll upload some footage when it's sorted!

WTF? You put how much boost into an SR20DE? 314 rwkw @ 27 psi!

So the DE+T survived Drift Attack 2010, now we can relax and spend more time going over it. To help find the limits of a completely standard SR20 it was decided to put some race fuel in and wind the boost up… Well A Picture tells a thousand words!

De-Luded

 Sunday 13th June 2010: I purchase and received this car on a nice winter morning, everything nice, clean, stock, a 180SX Type S - SR20 Non Turbo Manual..... Wait this is wrong, totally wrong I need a drift car for Drift Attack in 6 days time. It’s time to go to work and start stripping everything out and turn it into a competition ready drift car in 5days time....

 Since it was already stupidly short on time to build a drift car no time to waste and immediately started to pull everything out the engine, gearbox, interior you name it. Here as you guys can see the engine is a stock SR20DE for you guys who are not familiar of the Nissan engine code SR20DE means SR(engine code) 20(2.0Liters) D(Dual Overhead Cam) E(Electronic Fuel Injection). And here are some added info for you guys who like some more technique spec:

Combustion Chamber:	Cross flow, pentroof type
Valve mechanism:	DOHC, 4 valves per cyl, chain drive

 After a few hours removing and dismantling everything from the car, the hour was getting late, and it was time to call it a day and plan for what is to be done the next day, as tomorrow would be a day of preparing the non-turbo for some forced induction!
