Wakefield also has a kink at the end of the straight so I would say that top speed there is a fraction slower. At Eastern Creek I can hit about 210 down the straight.

Thank you I will. They are my new 18's. I use 17's on the track for $$ reasons.

At least they are being honest for once. 95% of the cars that come from there are wound back so just check for wear on the gearstick, handbrake and seats and you should be right. Manual 4 doors are a fair bit rarer than autos but they do exist.

About $250 each I think.

I'm just about to get some Falken semi slicks and I wasn't sure what the best size would be. My rims are 17x8 and 17x9. There are no other semi's in this price range that I haven't heard of are there? Thanks.

Yeah while you were MIA a while back they broke into my garage and stole my stock GTT rims. They weren't on the car at the time though. Still, it sucks having to buy something you already had.

Going in at about 110 but not much throttle to the apex meaning about 90 there I think. Sort of using the rise of the hill to slow me a little. Then accellarate out of the corner but couldn't put too much down due to shit tyres. Maybe 110ish just after the milk sign. Yes Merli. next mod = cheaterer tyres. Would have had them sooner if I didn't get my wheels stolen. What I saw as completely stuffed tyres on my front rims Fatz saw as perfect for getting him home. Now I'm not sure what to do because the rears are still ok tread depth wise but shit quality and I'm not likely to run semis on the front and shitters on the back. Might have to borrow a couple of 17" rims to drift with from someone.

Yeah there is no putting your foot flat coming onto that straight I had a couple of minor rear end slips coming out which was fun

I was just reading your other thread about your drag times and I'm starting to think you do have a problem getting onto boost and maybe it happens when you change gears. Coming onto the straight because I have an auto I am in second gear and good revs so I come up to the top of the hill very quickly and was gaining about 4 or 5 car lengths probably around the time you were peaking in 2nd and hitting 3rd. Then I would hit my third which would stop me gaining but later down the straight when I'm guessing you go for 4th I shoot past you. Your top speed on the straight is similar to mine (I have 189 rwkw by the way) which makes sense when thinking about your drag top speed. Hope this helps a little. I feel for you as my 13.8 could really be a 13.6 but my consistancy doesn't make it seem like I have a chance.

I was drifting and gripping on the same tyres. Do you still have the dip in power at about 5k? You weren't hard too catch around the corners but on the straight I had to redline it to get past you a couple of times there. I wish I timed myself to compare to next time at Oran Park because I've never been there before. I quite liked it although the ditch just off the track 50m before the dog leg is pretty scary. I never gave it heaps around that corner.

No I don't think so because it always made that whistle. It's not bad or anything, I'm not trying to worry you, it's just a point of recognition because it always flies down the straight of whatever track with very little engine or exhaust noise, just a rush of air and a whistle. Good to see you enjoying it, sorry I don't think actually met you though yesterday.

So you're the one with Duncan's old car igor? It has a distinctive whistle at high speed which is why I recognised it.

What I'd be interested to know is: 1. Do you need a catch can at this power level? 2. What fuel pumps are people using to get there? I have one of those Walbro 255 thingos but now I'm not sure if I should use it. Surely a surge tank is unnecessary? 3. Is everybody using a pfc? I am thinking piggy back but I have an advantage in that my ecu has previously been tuned (read chipped) so the mid range dip is gone as are the limiters such as speed cut.

Most likely the police had already called off the chase but only caught up with the guy cos he blew up his engine. Quite a few of you have made assumptions about things you don't know about. Quite often the chased car crashes after the chase has been called off because they are still trying to get as far away as possible and as quickly as possible.

I spotted Duncan's old GTST at Oran Park yesterday as well as a very fast white R32 GTR and a few other GTSTS all R33's.

Is that a dry or wet skid pan?

Has INASNT got an aftermarket head gasket?

So are they adjustable in height or ride or both?

Well I had a great time today thanks to all. I think I won something but the prize got lost. Thanks for the tips Alexi, as you saw it really helped. Pete, no rush with those wheels. I'll let you know if I'll be needing them or sometime can be arranged. I'll grab the camera and see if I got any good pics.

The one you're referring to looks just like the R34 GTT one is size shape and everything. Jay, They are physically changing the channels and valving so there would be no elctronic switching with this type of setup.

I think you should let Adrian or someone you know who drags a bit do a run in your car to eliminate at least one variable. Are you removing your spare and other junk from your car? I have a 4 door (read heavier than most other skylines) and less power than you and got 13.8 but to be honest I was a little dissapointed I couldn't get any lower than that. I did 30+ runs that day and even though it's an auto and should be easier I was surprised how I got a fraction better every run or 2nd run. Started in the 14.2's and eventually 13.8.

I know I'm a different Adz but I thought that I was told the 5000's are available now but since I was going for the 4000's I didn't pay much attention sorry.

Well don't people use thick metal head gaskets to lower the compression so that when the boost is turned up it wont ping? High compression + high boost = detonation ya?
