I think we have a new 'Skankmaster 05' *waves at Blitz*

I was with a group of about 10 skylines last nite, drove about 50km, seen about 10 cops and none of them wanted a piece of us.

Blitz was kidding... my lap is already taken

Wasn't his first pass....

damn those wheels/nitto's have my name crying all over them grr...

Well my first time back at wsid in about 8mths with high hopes and that's where it ended. My car is now running better than ever and once again I still couldn't grab a decent time, I feel like headbutting a brick wall I did manage to get a new PB but only by literally a bee's dick. 1. 14.489 @ 94.84mph / 2.190sec It felt nice and smooth, launch was the usual but for some reason I was -way- down on mph, I didn't even miss a gear 2. 15.265 @ 100.23mph / 2.737sec First run after a 30min rain period. Absolutely no grip on the greazy track and simply bagged em up! 3. 14.145 @ 102.07mph / 2.167sec (<- new PB) Tried to slam the gears harder, felt smooth once again and managed to get a new PB (old PB was 14.163 @ 100.20mph / 2.148sec). 4. 14.252 @ 100.87mph / 2.166sec Once again was trying to work the gears hard but was slightly slower even though it felt just as good *shrugs* 5. 14.571 @ 98.02mph / 2.184sec Used low boost this time (7psi) just for shits n giggles (even though high boost is only about 8-9psi haha). As you can see my launches are pretty much spot on everytime (even though 2.1xx sec is not overly impressive atleast it's consistent). Sure I could grab some semi-slicks or even drag nitto's etc and probably shave off a tenth or 2 but I shouldn't need to when i'm making a solid 195+ rwkw. I'm a good 0.5sec off the pace of where I believe I should be (and the times others are doing in similar powered cars) and im stumped as to what it is (obviously it's the driver). Was a great nite of racing (besides the rain periods). Some awesome cars about and probably the biggest meeting i've seen in a good 5-6mths. Wish I left my car in the carpark and spectated instead.

Tell us the price son!

Just kick her to the kerb if she whinges too much

Skim over this thread which should clear up your q's.

Geeze that's a decent buy. Wrong time of the month for me tho

I went to 1 of my local motorbikes shops and picked up an approved full-face helmet for $160.

...usually the case!

2rismo: Do you know what software the factory toyota navigation system uses? I've heard many times over that it's the best nav system in Australia.

You obviously changed more than just the pod to lose 56kw. I changed from a HKS Pod (unshielded) to the std airbox with K&N Panel filter. From memory the car felt a little more responsive downlow but it's been about 18mths now so I can't be so sure. I don't get any hassles from cops (after being hassled by a defect which is why I changed in the firstplace) and i'm guaranteed clean cold airflow because of the std air scoop. I also didn't like the "whoosh" of the HKS Pod. My car is making damn good power (for my mods) so obviously the K&N Panel isn't holding my engine power back otherwise I would have swapped back by now. Why spend $200+ on a Pod and then modify your engine bay just to fit it when a K&N Panel filter costs ~$100 and takes not even 1min to fit without any modifications at all ??

I still use Austpost.... I thought the internet was just for browsing porn/sau? Can someone explain this whole email thing to me please?

What's: ect ect ? Aftermarket ECU? Ex Cam Gear? Full 3" Exhaust?

What software is used on the Navman's ? Edit: Just found it: "Navman SmartST™ 3D Mapping Software"

I've raced 2 HSV's (the newer models).... both never got past the 60ft line before breaking something (yes it was legal drag racing at WSID).

My Splitfire Coils gave me a solid 10rwkw My car has never driven so well :(

An XR6-Turbo has 186rwkw An R33 GTS-t has 186kw @ the flywheel.

I'd be interested to see what diff it makes from the drivers seat...

Nah i'd believe him, my first car ('82 Mazda 323 - with a sunroof) would have done easy 10's. I knew that as soon as I overtook a bus on the motorway once... probably because of the sunroof tho...
