  1. 2.20 after 3 laps ? Damn I was doin 2:16's and thought I was going quick..... I really gotta get out on the track again with a good set of tyres....
  2. Interesting discussion.... So Rev210 how long have you been using this stuff for ? Also have you done any before / after dyno runs to see the difference ? Sounds like a nice idea but then again if its that good why isn't everyone doing ie (everyone been all HPI cars).
  3. Do a 'thread title search' for "DIY:"
  4. CS_180: Were you using Dot5 brake fluid ? Oz: Last time I went i only drove 3 sessions and passengered 1 session and i think i slept about 12hrs straight haha. Its all the concentration that screws you over I think. . .
  5. I've created maybe 2 or 3 DIY's and I also think it would be a great section.
  6. Yup same thing happened to me when I asked Jax to machine my rotors. They looked at the DBA specs and basically said nope they are illegal. I then went up to my trusty Better Brakes and they looked up the Nissan specs and it was 16mm and 28mm so they machined them without a problem. You still have a good machining left in those rotors so use em till they are dead (probably another years worth). DBA4000 Club Spec Slotted Rotors are around ~$1000+ brand new.
  7. Turn your boost down alittle
  8. A drive as a cop in an R34 GTR hrmmm any public road, anytime, any speed mmmm and the women.... :whackit:
  9. If its been paid for by Taxpayers then I want a ride. Everyone queue behind me.....
  10. What exactly do those figures mean in non-mechanical language ?
  11. Their will be a piece on "Today Tonight" on Thursday the 4th about this story.
  12. Very nice ! Anyone ever made over 300rwhp from the stock turbo ? I'm currently at 272rwhp still with stock ECU and for some silly reason i'd rather upgrade everything but the std turbo just as something different to do.
  13. What ECU are you running and what rwkw did you make ?
  14. 3 more cars added now with a total of 41 cars. 7 of the Top 10 times are from GTR's grr.

    Illegal Drags

    Why build the track there if they have to place restrictions like that for the track.
  16. Good stuff JimX, We really need a "DIY:" section hey...
  17. 14psi ?? Interesting.... Using the stock turbo and stock ECU im currently at 272rwhp. I'm still quite confident I can get the stock turbo much higher than that (well 285+ rwhp) with probably another $2500-3000 of various minor mods.
  18. Noooooo .... at this stage its gonna be the bogans + George + Ben.

    Illegal Drags

    I live about 20-25mins away from these illegal street drags that were mentioned on www.news.com.au (im not sure for certain coz i've never been to them and don't know -exactly- where they are). We have legal street drags at Sydneys Eastern Creek drag strip every second wednesday and let me tell ya ur doing well to watch 1 good meeting in every 4. The cost is $15 which i believe is alittle exxy, around $8-10 would be more the suitable price I think. The facilities are very good and you get a full view of everything from the 1 spot so that isn't a problem. With the drags being held from 5pm-10pm on a Wedneday during a normal week just isn't right at all. Most people are stuffed from work and couldn't be bothered attending (or is it the entry fee's). Then for the drivers it costs $45 with no guaranteed runs. If you dont get there before 5pm your lucky to get 2 runs if that before the night ends. It would also be quite difficult for 90% of the working population to get there at 5pm to race. In <3mths the new dedicated drag strip will be ready to go. Hopefully this means cheaper prices, weekend runs and in general a much better experience for the average jow blow (ie; actually being able to drag your mate instead of being paired up with a 9sec Pac Rotor).
  20. Hows the diff and tyres Duncan ?
  21. Im still not quite sure what these things do... Will they have any benefits over the stock plenum if you only have a stock ecu and stock turbo ?
  22. I'm guessing this is some sort of device that u can flick a switch and it suddenly bypasses the cat ?
  23. DIY: Change your brake pads
  24. Ahh now c'mon Duncan, that would only be a good idea if many SAU Members attended or if their was a potential to signup new members or make some cash out of the day.....hrmmm hangon a second...
  25. /me waits for someone to offer to cook a BBQ for lunchski
