mmmm, ok, well i'm kinda at the infant stages of reading trap speeds..... so wat would be a good trap speed with a mid 12 pass?

ahhh, right ok, get ya now

is that with street tyres? i dunno about reading ET's and trap speeds yet, but, isn't that trap speed a bit slow for a 13.2? suggesting it had a good launch?

will the Garrett GT25 series turbos have the same punch as the equivalent HKS turbo? i.e. in the midrange, would both turbos be making the same sort of power? e.g. a Garrett GT25 turbo similar to a HKS GT2530, running 1.0 bar boost, running against a HKS GT2530, at 1.5 bar of boost, which would make more midrange grunt?

i'm assuming that's 20 thou? dammmm, that's a lot!!!

cheers

cools, will do, thanks!!

cools, well, keep me/us informed of when they're headed around, so's i can schedule one of my trips around that time, and i'll take some fotos from it

how is it like to have 200rwkw power on the street anyway?

oh yeh, forgot, u're mostly living on the rev limiter, errmmmm, dammm......... well, at least it's fun..... well at least we can watch it on espn now right? how did u find out all this info? i'm frequently visiting america, so i could catch one of the events live, if possible

really? maaad, so you reckon that would be a good motorsport to pick up, aside from club level track work? i mean, it's cheaper to run(isn't it?) and you get the best fun out of it, i mean, it's drifting!!!!! could be my next job, lol

is drifting considered motorsport experience??

i think the C5 weighs in at 1497kg from HPI no.32, which coincidentally is in my hands.... isn't a R33 GTS-T around 1300kg? or is that a R32 GTS-T i'm thinking about....... well an R33 GT-R is 1560kg..... so, not much in it..... up the boost a bit, and they'll both be head to head..... C5 vs R33 GT-R that is..... a holden GTS, weighs in more than 1700kg(?? correct me if i'm wrong, most V8's are more than 1600kg right?) btw, how much are most of those kits for the LS1 cost? wow, warranty with the 550hp kit, hehehe, if only that could happen with installed hardware on a jap car

ohh, well that's pretty good, something to think about when getting an exhaust, anyone have this exhaust and would like to comment on it?

yeah, i would also like to know how loud the 044 pumps are, are they really that annoying? like say compared to the annoyingness some ppl find of loud exhausts on the freeway.... i.e. not the same loudness, but would it be that annoying daily driving? edit: also if possible, could you give a description of what it sounds like? maybe even a wav or mp3 file would be nice

ohh yeah, what time are you guys all getting there?

sweeet, thanks guys, hey ain't it like real early for you guys right now? like, 8am? i'm in america right now, it's like 3pm on a sunday here

hey guys, i might be comin up to just watch the track day, do i have to put $20 up? And if someone could give me a ride around the track, much appreciated, i haven't been to a track day before, and judging by the fun that people talk about, it sounds awesome :D

hey, sorry to interrupt the thread, but can anyone just turn up for the track days? i'd like to go to one, i'm thinking of getting a gtr for track days.

yeah, the torque converter robs more output to the wheels, i'm not sure of the real figures, it's also different for different torque converters(?).

lol, if only i had the money!! that'd be so awesome though, "Can I have an R34 just like your demo car there?" "Sure, if you could just give me 150kAUD" "Let me test drive it first........vrrooooom"

sweeet, thanks man, i'll look it up, it'd be awesome to have that kinda revability

it's about 20kUSD, or there abouts, it would have been about 40k here, if it ever came out. Hmmm, turbo kit, yeh, noticed it had the BOV sound, but, i didn't really expect it to be turboed, thought they just added those sounds for effect.

i might sound dumb, but where can you get Elf Turbo Max? i know its like race fuel, 102 octane(?), but do they sell it? or can you just get it on the track when u're at a track day?

in search of this, i just remembered there was an article in HPI about the Mine's R34. But it didn't have any info on the tune of the engine, except for the turbos, cams, Mine's tuned ECU, big capacity air flow kit, and lightened body to 1300kg. The Cams i'm thinking would make it wind out harder and faster, i.e. response?
