[whatsisname]

Me

John (GT-R x 2)

MattR

Rob (Drifty) - leave pass pending

Clint (maybe)

Bug's - if I gee him up enough

Andy (maybe)

skippy (maybe)

Anyone else?

[Clint32]

Maybe, but wont be sure for a few weeks. I have to get my diff back then get it in but im away this weekend then the week before as pit crew for my mate so i may not have time to get ready.

[Drift Spec]

I want to but to scared i will :

1) stall it on the line

2) break something

3) stall it on the line

[Clint32]

Rob you wont break anything with road tyres on, and you wont stall on the line ( just wheel spin ) thats what the accelerator pedal is for. The only thing you have to watch is the clutch.

[Drift Spec]

That's it im sold!

Only thing I dont have a helmet

Plus I still have speed limit of 180km/hr too... doh!

[whatsisname]

C'mon Rob! You put your car through harsher punishment on most cruises. I'm serious too! As Clint mentioned above, apart from the potential for a bit of clutch punishment (which depends on how you drive it?) the car will be fine. Trust me mate you'll have a absolute ball You'll be hooked for sure!

For $50 you can cram in at the very least 5 x 200km/h blasts without any hassles from the law, + you'll have hard fast evidence of just how well those new found 160rwkw move the black beast When you DO hit the drag strip I'd recommend upping your boost level, now you've got the S-AFC2 & FMIC 10-12psi will be fine for a few quick runs.

The JAFFA mobile should head out too!

It'd be good to get a few of us SAU guys running. That way we can line each other up.

[Clint32]

You wont hit the limiter Rob, thats 112mph and you wont get to go that fast.

Anyone know if anymore meets are happening after the one in april, as i dont think i can make it but may have to if there is nothing else happening.

[Drift Spec]

Ya I need to up the boost , not sure what I would be on now? 7psi?, I dunno.

But yeah need to get speed cut or its gonna be annoying hitting the 180km wall near the end

I would love to see the Jaffa out there.

[Drift Spec]

Ahh thats ok , damn I am keen now, just need to get a leave pass hehe... hey can you take a passenger?

[whatsisname]

Rob,

I can organise a helmet for you if need be? Let me know.

I'm buying an open face helmet from Revolution Racegear this Thursday. $80 brand new. ADR approved. Nothing flash, but it's comfy & looks ok.

To run at a street meet you'll need the following:

ADR approved helmet

Full length pants/trackies etc... long sleeved top

$50 cash

A roadworthy car - no noticeable leaks etc...

EDIT: Some additions -

Your terminal speed or trap speed (TS) is an average speed taken over the last 30ft b4 the 400m line & 30ft after the 400m line. I'm guessing a stock GTS25t would trap in the mid/high 90mph region? A car with a 100-105mph (161-169km/h) trap speed probably wouldn't hit the limiter until past the TS area so it wouldn't matter. If you trap @ 110+mph then the limiter will hold you back (no limiter for me )

Elapsed Time (ET) - taken from the time your car breaks the staging beams till it breaks the 400m beam, irrespective of reaction time (for street meets).

For more info have a read here - http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/.../offstreet.html & here - http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/...034/timing.html

Ignore the AIR website street meet calender, it's waaay out of date!

[Munro]

You wont hit the speed cut drifty - if you did you would be pulling

12s.sounded good on the dyno today - does need more boost.

The rumour is that the usual winter Sunday street meets may not be on so this MAY be the last one for a while(I hope not)

So come out a have a go.

Driftspec - just drive like you normally do & you'll do fine.

Classic! Oh but best to keep it pointed straight ahead for at least 400m Rob

No passengers allowed during a pass.

[Drift Spec]

Awesome yep I am sold , I will be there if I can get leave pass hehe.

Yeah I know I need more boost for sure John , need to get an EBC at some stage when money permits... Mark said should easily get over 200rwkw safely with the setup I have so looking forward to that one day.

lol but sideways action is fun Matt

damn no passengers

[whatsisname]

You could start a new trend mate. Drift Drag - 400m sideways as quick as possible

[Drift Spec]

lol! , na Denzo would come in and whoop us all hehe.

[whatsisname]

Passed Denzo in his JMS R33 (heading opposite way) the other day in my 33, we both looked over. I was thinking "hmmm nice car!" He was probably thinking "POS"

[Drift Spec]

lol!

No way mate you car is awesome!, work of art even, so damn neat and tidy and powerful!.

He is selling that thing for 45k or something , dunno if its even road registered or still on trader plates.. love to see that thing try and pass regency lol.

[whatsisname]

Thanks mate I've done a bit more tinkering since you last saw it.

45k isn't bad for all the gear it's got! If ALL the gear is part of the 45k deal?

Regency & any of our cars don't mix well

[MattR]

Ill be there, Ive got 2 re540s for the back which I shall be putting on. Andrew will probably be joining us to. hope to have ney oil in the gearbox by then.

[CheekyR32]
