****in sweet beast!

[Nozila]

nice advatar matt, i assume thats your new toy.

[Steve]

Thats a pretty bloody good 60'. Nice avataar too:)

[whatsisname]

That's either the best RWD 'street tyre' 60ft I've ever heard of, or it was on slicks? In which case it won't count in the HPI drag list

Don't worry about the RT Matt. Doesn't effect the ET/TS.

[Martin Donnon]

Make sure if you give us times Matt that they were on Radial Tyres, not crossply Street Tyres, 'ET Streets' or slicks. Apparently it ran 13.0 on the radials? Either way, let us know.

Cheers,

Martin

Sounds mad Matt, would have cost you a few $$$ im sure.

JMS regulary run on slicks so im guessing that that time was run on these, either way its pretty fast and will be very scary on the road. Get a set of nittos on GTR wheels and go for it.

[TIMMMAYYY]

SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT THATS FAST!!!

top work!

Kinda makes me feel pretty shitty when I only hav like 100rwkw or something gay... lol

[whatsisname]

Matt will confirm I'm sure but I was chatting with Mick (Tilbrook's/ ex Subzero) who drove the car to its 11.3 @ 122+ & it was running slicks for that pass.

Regardless of the above that mph is awesome. I'm sure Matt will pull respectable times on road rubber (NT555R's Matt - don't bother with anything less!) Roll on the 31st

[MattR]

Yeah it was with slicks, Ill be saving for some Nittos. does anyone know what type of life you get out of them. It also looks like ill be needing to run 540s all the time. It got a 13 with bridgestone S02's still spinning at half track

[whatsisname]

Matt,

Re NT555R's you're looking at ~$400 to 450 for 275/40/17, or a tad less for 245/50/16. I've been given a contact for Nittos if you're interested.

Have a read here mate - http://www.nittotire.com/mainframe.asp

Cheers Matt, I still feel really bad I know how much you were trying to get into the top 10 of the hpi & I may get there b4 you if I can get the traction sorted. It will be great if we both can do it on the 31st with everyone there:)

[whatsisname]

No prob's dude.

Hell mate don't feel bad! I'm stoked we've (SA Skyline crew) got another seriously quick car in the ranks. Your new beast!

Getting traction sorted is the hard part that's for sure. With the grunt your hybrid has you should nail a 12 even with a poor launch (providing it doesn't spin @ 1/2 track). Mind you Matty Lowth ran 13.1 @ 119 on his first pass (with ~320rwkw).

With a bit of luck (& some practice) I'm hoping we'll both nail some 12sec passes on the 31st. Maybe even a high 11 for you? As long as our faces look like this - - at the end of the day I'll be satisfied.

I guess I look at it like this, the longer it takes & the harder it is to achieve something, the sweeter it is when you do.

[MattR]

Well siad Matt, remember you have done the hard work yourself were I have bought the car like it is.

[TIMMMAYYY]

I imagine it woulda worked out a lot cheaper and a lot less pain free for you though MattR.

Mid to high 20's. I will spend more on it in the future.

[TIMMMAYYY]

Yeah she was near stock as a rock when I got her ~3yrs ago. Sometimes the journey is 1/2 the fun. Sometimes!

Nothing wrong with buying a car that someone else has already done a large % of the work for you. Mid/high 20's wouldn't buy an average 32 & bits need to achieve 11.3 @ 122+mph that's for sure. Nice buy Matt! Looking foward to see her in action mate

[hippy]

when u say bad economy .. how was it after it safc was tuned?? how is it now?? and how was it before the safc was tuned??

[Guest Miss_Nismo]

I wish i had waited cause r32 GTRs are between 15 - 20K at the moment from japan if they come under the 15 year rule (meaning no compliance plate needed)
