hey col what where your 60ft time because if your running 131mph your 60s must be real bad (like 3)

i do 2.2 60ft and still manage to run 12.7 @ 110mph

cheers

joe

Yeah my 131mph pass was a 2.8 60 foot and i missed 2nd gear for a split second...

Col - you won't spin the MT 255x50x16 drag radials, I'm using even smaller 225x50x16 Hoosier radials and provided I heat them up properly I can't spin them - do easy 1.7's 60" on both of these tyres.

Yeah i hope so... Ill have a chat to them tomorrow...

The guy with the EAT IT Silvia was able to spin his 255's and i think he is on similar power...

So ill make a phoen call and see what they suggest...

I would ideally love to use stock 16" skyline rims, so the 225's would be the go, but I may need the width...

I have been doing some research tonight and found this on willowbanks website;

Sedans faster than 130mph (208 kph):

* Five-point harness required (incorporating crotch strap).

I was telling Shane last night, when I ran my 131mph pass an official met me at the bottom of the tower he looked in the car and noted on the time slip that there was no roll cage or harness. He then said if I break 130mph again than I would be asked to cease the event...

NOTE: I thought at the time he said 135mph and thats what I was talking about with Shane as I had not heard that rule before...

But the guy did mumble a bit, he may have said 130mph

He grabbed all my info at the time and took details like rego and colour and basic description of the car, he also kept my time slip putting all the info on the back of it and said to email to get a copy fo the slip...

Now i found this above about needing a 5 point harness...

:Worried:

I dont want to put a 5 point harness in, and I will have to change the seat and probablly put a cage in to make it all work properly... :happy:

What do you guys think???

if u wanna see what u can get out of ur car col, but dont want full time cage and harness etc. get a half cage (so u can remove it) get bucket seat that can accept harness, and get a harness, and just put them in when u go to the drags. therefore u dont have to get ur car re-registered as a 2 seater (u would if u kept the cage and bucket seat in) however, u can get adr/street legal racing harnesses and reclining bucket seats.

My 255s where spinning as they where on 20-22psi of tyre pressure - my tyre pressure gauge lied and i thought they where on 15psi...

The best 60 foot i have gotten out of them was a 1.60 with 16psi tyre pressure and i ran an 11.1@131mph like that - i didnt get an official talking to, but i did quit while i still had my stock box in-tact - damn sr20 gearboxes!

You need a few things for 130mph+ but if you dont crack into the 10 they shouldnt really bother you. I guess that will change now due to the recent fatality - so i wont be going back there for a month or two, which works out good cause i need to get a bigger tune put in...

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
