  1. Hrmm shit maybe that's where im going wrong, not cuddling my car enough...
  2. Yup first run was a 12.3 @ 110mph, 2nd run was 12.6 @ ~105mph and I think that's all he did. Wasnt many fast cars there tonight considering it was nice and cold.
  3. Well Christian appears to be stoked. He rolls up to the line, gives it a rev and drops the lunch, 5mins later he is picking up a timeslip with a 12.3 @ 110mph on it *bastard*
  4. I've never used the transfer case is slipping excuse, i've highlighted it in my book now tho
  5. Looking for some prices for cat-backs on an R32 GTR delivered to Sydney. Need 3.0-3.5 inch, super quiet but high flowing (400rwkw).
  6. I live my life 1 wednesday nite at a time PranK i'll give you a copy of the book tonight, its a fantastic read.... shit tyres, missed a gear, SBS, slipping clutch, too many spectators, low boost, the list goes on its tops!
  7. Get it right Adrian, if I dont see a 12 from him on the first pass im in line behind you for a ride
  8. I reckon talking about it anymore than you are will just make you more nervous. Just line up on the line (little white lines either side of your lane), wait for the green light, foot on the throttle and brake once you go past the big digital timing displays. Treat it like a traffic light grand prix and you'll be right. Most people have trouble just finding the start line (how I have no idea) so dont even try doing a 12sec pass on your first run, just get to the finish line, grab your time slip and line up again. Edit: I'll be there just after 6pm as always, look for me in the hotdog line
  9. I wonder if I could fit that Ferrari engine in the back of my GTR?

    Just head up to Steve's Autobarn at Blackheath, I hear they have the centerfold hanging up on the wall
  11. 8000rpm and side step the clutch, hangon, grab 2nd, hangon again, don't forget their is a hairpin at the end of the straight
  12. Was a great turnout, the venue just wasnt even close to big enough for everyone. Some really top notch cars around the carpark and some no hopers that just couldnt help themselves. The cops were ok, 1 officer was happy to walk along fining everyone for parking on the side of the road ("Nature strip") but all the others were happy to just let the cars move on by. By the time I left there and got back to Wollongong most people were on their way out and the police were shutting down the roads.
  13. High 13's maybe
  14. I'm still undecided as I really cant afford to be defected at the moment (..and yes the cops will and do defect anyone regardless of what and how you are driving. I go almost every year, park on a back street then walk around to the main cruise route and watch the cops pull over anyone they feel like, considering its generally 2 lanes of stand-still traffic on the cruise route you dont have to be doing anything stupid to catch their attention).
  15. A common problem at most cruises!

    Well done Brett, i've heard Steve is stoked!
  17. Impul: Is that for the R32 GTR? A genuine R32 GTR Master is about $280 but im sure their are other nissan models that use an identical item for a cheaper price.
  18. Righto since members of this forum cover a large area across all of Sydney it would be great if a list of popular nitelife hangout spots could be created to assist people from other areas that are looking at venturing out. This could be a list of Pubs, RSL, Clubs, Raves, etc but not restaurants. I'll create the first review to give the template and everyone else can continue: Name: Bloc Location: Penrith Address: High St URL: www.bloc.com.au Open: Fri + Sat nite after 9pm Ideal time: After midnight on saturday night Entry Fee: $15ea Music: Dance + RnB + Hip Hop Dance Floor: Yes Seating: Lounges + stools Pokies: No DJ's: Yes 2-4 Bars: ~4 bars, mainly bottled pre-mix alcohol Parking: Plenty of parking nearby, security risks though due to bad lighting. Comments: Only a new club, best in the area, very popular, security tend to hold you outside in queue for 10-15mins but it is getting better. Rating: 7/10
  19. Drive city-bound along the M4, turn off left at Homebush Bay Drive, turn off left at Australia Avenue. Head about 1km along this road and just as you get to the big stadium/function builds you will see 50 cars parked on the left side of the road at a carpark, it's basically the first big carpark on the left.
  20. Were their Sprintcars racing in the background?
  21. You have been watching too much Nascar
  22. I've put about 6,000km on my GTR in the past 4mths driving in conditions from 5c-44c on 0.8-1.4bar and never have I seen my knock level go above 32. Maybe it is time for you to find a different tuner Hulk.
  23. Every import mechanic I talk to swears by Redline Shockproof. Every specialised clutch/gearbox 'normal' mechanic I talk to wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole.
  24. Probably just those short girly legs
  25. She said its fine as long as I hold her headlights at the same time
