the prob isn't really the shift point (for me anyway) - changing at 6,500 isn't too difficult.. its just the first few metres.. when u can't tell whether ur tyres are really just spinning - if u lose a second on takeoff then thats teh difference between say a 14 and 13s time or 15 and 14s time

yeah traction was a real prob......had 3 runs first launchin at 3k....bogged bad, 2nd launch at 2.5k still bogged, 3rd launch at 2k was the best i could do but buggered it up by stickin it in 5th instead of 3rd, im sure it would have been a good time too. most of the skyline peeps had traction probs when throwing it into 2nd with the back kickin out...ask dj lethal:D

is your car the only car in your family??

or do u just drive it on your p's and try to avoid the police? heh

Nah its not the only car in the family. actually i cant drive it anymore, coz i got pulled over and have a warning under my name. Apparently if im caught driving again 2 year loss of my license. So i dont drive it out on the streets anymore, just at events like this to get my fun out of it... My car, but cant drive it. ITs so tempting while its in the garage to take it out, but i gotta hold my self..They got there eye on me the :shake:

yep i got 13.08,  didnt do well as i did at Calder. It was either the clutch or the track, i think my clutch was slipping..not quite sure though gotta get it checked. had great fun, would love to do it again some other time as bunch again.

i was watching you,i thought ur clutch was slipping.

13.08 im assuming its pretty stock.huh.

i was hopin to have my 34 at the track today,but dyno gremlins struck yesterday arvo.

Congrats on the times guys its not as easy as everyone thinks last yr when i went i thought id crack it into the 14's easy walked away wit a 15.4@90mph this yr after some practice i managed a 14.6@93mph last week

Not bad considerin all i got is, 3" exhaust (excludin dump pipe), pod filter and 8psi, oh and did i mention its AUTO !

yup, thats not a bad time there yogi for fairly stock..

sometimes when u up the boost/power tho it just gets more difficult in a skyline as traction becomes hard. I still don't quite know how those guys manage to get mid to high 12's in cars with the same mods as mine - i don't think i am *that* bad a driver ;)

I mean the track can make a big difference.. i mean just today was a prime example .. not many of the SAU cars with the one or two mods got below 14 - and i think a lot of it was due to track conditions.

Mr_fanny you only done it once I done it bloody three times I thought there was something wrong with my car and when I relised what I was doing I pissed myself laughing all the way back to the line up area. I am putting this one down to a bad experiance, if I do those times next time I am taking myself out the back and shooting myself

Hi guys..
