Note: A steering lock doesn't only help prevent theft it also comes in handy resting on the passenger side floor for times like this.

What a week....

Also remember that if you haven't had much rain lately and then you get a downpour that the road will be greasy and slippery until all the crap is washed away.

Trust33: Interesting comparison, if only I could work out the speed for my 198rwkw graph to do a proper comparison. I believe i'm changing gears at the right rpm, if I changed any lower i'd lose too much power lower in the gear and have to wait for it to kick in again (like Roy said). I realise a PowerFC would do me wonders (especially midrange) but that still doesn't explain why other non-PowerFC Skylines are doing better times. Also, i'm trying to improve my times here without spending more money because I believe I have spent enough to get a respectable time Something I realised today whilst driving around Oran Park is that it's taking longer to hit full boost (whether it be 7 or 9 psi) after I change gears. I can actually feel it "kicking in" after I change each gear instead of already being boosted and ready to use like previously. Bleed valve fault? Wastegate actuator?

I've thought about emailing my suggestion to them but doubt they'd listen. What they have been doing lately is putting similar cars together. That's better (and safer) but the problem is you have like 20 <11sec cars in lane 1 and 50+ FWD/Rice in lane 2 when all the lanes should be filled evenly.

Union Picnic day eh, geeze!

Well i'm heading off to Oran Park now (to spectate)

I'd love to go, but not this year. I think '06 i'll do Bathurst, Indy and the F1 instead of just Eastern Creek and the Summernats.

2.089sec9.080sec 76.77mph 14.009sec Your car kicks in mega hard though compared to mine which kicks in much earlier but very gentle. And below is a pic of the dyno graph when you drove it (the blue "before" line)

That front bar must be absolute murder on the streets of sydney. Goodluck with the sale!

Roy: It's pulling harder and making more power since you last drove it. Greddy Ex Cam Gear and Splitfire coils have been done since that night you drove it. I change gears up around 6800-7000rpm as quick as I possibly can. With the nitto's it chirps every gear the whole way so I don't think i'm granny shifting as such. I dropped into SBC (St Marys) about 2wks ago and got them to look at my clutch (just to check it was ok) and the mechanic jumped in and played around with it and said it was grabbing fine. I've found that it sticks abit with too much rpm (either from the burnout or the launch). My problem isn't the top of the track (102mph) its from 60-660ft. I'm doing the same 60ft and TS as other people that are doing mid 13's it's just the bit in between that is costing me time. If you click here you can see the detailed info of all my runs.

The rear has 18mth old Koni Adjustable Shocks (what is adjustable I cannot workout)... unsure what springs. The pineapples give better squat. Also it's 266rwhp (198rwkw) not 266rwkw.

Well someone had fun Notice how most of the good looking gf's are with the tattoo'd motorbike guys ? Their was an absolutely pure brunette there last week, hot diggity dawg!! Afew of us are going again on 2/3/05, a thread has been created. The gates open at 4:30pm (even though the website says 5pm) and last week I arrived at 5pm to drive straight in and was about 6th inline. The annoying thing was that I was put into lane 4 (3rd car back) which meant their was 2 (lane 1 isn't used) full lines of cars whom raced before me yet arrived over and hour after I did which was quite frustrating (basically beating the rush doesn't get you any further ahead unless you have a <11sec car). I still think WSID need to organise 3 x 40 car groups. The first 40 competitors whom arrive, 2nd 40 and 3rd 40. At 6pm when the racing starts -only- the A group is allowed to line up and race. Once they have completed 4 runs each they are told to sit out until the end of the night (if time persists for extra runs). Then the B group is called up, followed by C group. That way everyone gets the same amount of runs (plenty of time available), the people whom arrive early are rewarded and you don't have to wait 45mins between runs meaning you have to spend all night lined up out the back and can't spectate.

I've got a set of 4 green 1's out under the back verandah... I might fit them to my Hiace later this arvo.

Yup i'm in. I'm a sucker I know

Without a doubt its GT on the PS2...

Just a few snaps I took last weekend at the launch. Their wasn't a great deal to take pictures of (about 10 cars and 6 trucks). My neighbour wanted pictures of the SBR car/trucks because he is building a replica truck for his R/C cars. 1600x1200 pics available - here Thumbnails below:

Adrian has had afew runs in it, from memory his best was ~14.1-14.3sec Buster has also tried

No doubt it is my standard ecu holding me back, but it also should be holding others back although it isn't. For the burnout I basically just scrub my tyres to remove the water from the burnout area. I do the same 60ft times regardless of if I do a burnout or not which is funny (2.0xx/2.1xx). Also don't forget that I have 266rwhp, not 180rwhp

I've competed on 8 wed nite meetings and spectated every other meeting (including most weekend events) since it opened. Yes... I need a 2nd job just for my WSID addiction It's hardly spruced up, doesn't even do 13's

Don't forget the track temp was 42c and air temp was 27c

Because they aren't $200 rotors like DBA are...

If you want cross-drilled just bite the bullet and buy some Porsche rotors, how can you go wrong
