hey mate.

that u its mark. with the R34.

u did pretty well for urself. im sure my GTR would pull off much the same times.. with a so called shane pussy launch.. :)

good to see u on the forums..

Hopefully the driver of the rail car wasnt a fatality - that would be a damn shame!

I didnt get to see too many skylines there - i was lookin for you guys but i was configned to the pit area for the rest of the night - red silvia EAT17 plates...

Anywho was an interesting night, i ran a best of 12.3@126mph with a 2.0 60 foot - my car wasnt really hooking up with my micky thompson et streets that well - came pretty close to the wall on one occasion. Still the purpose was to increase my half track to full track mph with my cam gear adjustments and i picked up about 5mph top end without it tuned properly- pretty happy about that.

On a sidenote i got done on the way home by dept of transport - they setup a roadblock and suffice to say i got reamed as they knew what they were lookin for - although the blokes where really nice so it didnt really bother me.

yes i dare say col would be in the 11 bracket with the mph down the track, god damn traction?? That seemed to be the issue with many cars there tonight, although had to leave early sorry didnt say cya to ya noel :P awell good night as i saw it. Cant wait till the 17th

mark u softcork learn to do a skid :P

i was pretty disappointed with col and jared's cars, what was the go guys? :P

Yeah I'm pretty pissed to.

I couldn't get it to hook up and I got 2 bad starts and Mr clutch was slipping a lot at the end. I was going to save up and get a triple plate clutch but stuff this I'm going to put the single plate Ive got in it for now and get it re-tuned so it will perform a bit better.

2nd

I blew a hole through the exhaust on the way home some where i gotta find it this morning

3rd

Im never going on a Saturday again its crap those shit box v8's kept doing oil downs and stuff like that. Even the line to get a drink was as long as.

Werd. For all their noise they are just a pain in the arse. Every time delay was from some v8 shitting itself. Take them back to the shopping centre car parks where they belong.

The other annoyance were the v8 tools trying to win the race in the staging lanes. Just revving the tits off them for no reason other than they can.

Yep v8 shit tins. For the people going next Saturday. I was talking to col and theres a big meeting on the same day or the day after, so theres going to be a heap more shit tin V8's there getting in there oil down practices in. So be prepared for the wait.

Well Put it this way I got there at 4:40 around abouts and from there to 8:30 I got 3 runs in and its only going to be worse on the 17th by the sounds of it what a waste of time

Maybe the wednesday night sessions might be a better option?

yep..

was good last time i went to watch on wednesday.

i got ther at 4.30ish lined up near noel. and ran a BNR32 at around 5 or 6pm.. was pretty shitty with all the hold ups.. but goin from ryans pics at 3.30 when col was running ther looked to be 3 or 4 cars in the lanes.. so best to get a few runs in really early. :P

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
