SORRY guys i didnt make it, i had my alarm getting installed today and as always nothing gets done on time.

i was shattered and i still have to wait untill tuesday for the alarm.

Is it bad to use my 19s???? I thought the bigger the wheel the more faster you go?

oh yeah i also have a apexi pod filter, if that helps.

If that is a serious statement i better set the record straight.

The bigger the wheel, the heavier it is, also the more force/power needed to get it moving. Due to the small profile there is no give in the tyre, thus will break traction more easily. 19's are just for show, they are bad for everything else. I am not bagging you as i also have 19's on my Skyline.

The Apexi pod will not improve anything until you are making over 230rwkw, that's where the std air box becomes a restriction. In fact your pod is probably loosing you some performance, as you probably have it open in the engine bay, free to suck in all that hot air. A pod always should to be enclosed in a custom box with a big cold air feed, from the front bar.

Hope to see ya next time at Calder

emsta: Calder Park Rwy, is just off the Calder Fwy, near Taylors Lakes, Hillside, etc., just before Sunbury.

On a Friday night, it is $20 to spectate and $55 to enter your car. To compete you will need to where long paint, long sleeved top, runners/shoes, and a Helmet (which can be hired).

NICE BURNOUT
At first i was like "WTF is he talkin about" Then i looked at my post :)

PS: Thanks ;) Compliments of DECA skid pan.

If you are going to buy rims, you'd be better off buying a set of 17 x 9 for the rear. I have a set of 4, 17in rims for sale (mis-matched pairs, great for drag, drift and drag ;) ), rear are new and only been used twice, fronts are s/h and in good condition, $300 for all 4, no tyres :P

Had to upgrade due to my latest Brembo brake upgrade :D.

SIF 17's are best

smaller the better, more sidewall, more flex, more traction

i has R33 wheels if you want... provided Ronin aint gonna borrow em, crap rubber $150... but yeah... Ronin has dibs if he needs to use them to move his car around :)

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
