Heathcote 1/6/2003 :P

[predator]

yup.. not many VIC guys with the stock ECU/turbo can get easy 13's like the interstaters.. so i'm wondering. I only managed to just scrape in once that time at calder.

I am just wondering what i should do next? I don't want to spend too much at the moment. Thermo fan and cam gear might help me into consistant 13's for under $700

[JAGR33]

I dunno about anybody else but I find that i get better times at Calder than at Heathcote.

Best time at Calder 12.3 (with standard clutch)

Best time at Heathcote 12.6 (with Nismo twin plate)

I found that my car axle-tramped off the line at Heathcote, and couldn't get a good clean launch, hence the 12.6

Even the 34 GTR got a 13 sec pass where as at Calder hes managed to get 12.1!?!?!

Yeah, next time... I just need a fuel pump.

Then i'll be right.

should see a mid 13... then maybe i wind up the boost...

But there is one thing though out of the day that really ticked me off.

I think most people there will know what i'm about to say.

It goes like this.

We went over to admire/droll/blow over the 34(RH9) and 33(gtr700) drags cars and we are over there having a look at the cars.

A few guys chatting to them and stuff which was real cool...

Then i stand of the concrete of the shed (everyone else is too).

I get told to 'get off' by this big bozo

i ask 'why?'

'get off or i shut door' (said in neanderthal grunt)

now i just said i'm here to admire the Sky's n stuff.

and then again, told to go away?!?!?

WTF is that ?? It's not as if i'm gonna pinch the engine or his Diff when he's not looking now is it?

Or hide in the boot and make it go slower ?!?! LOL

These guys 'have' a 9 sec 34 (which ran a 12 and sulked back to the shed not to run again that day)

So anyway, we all walk away, dumb-founded by the absolute rudeness. I've never seen anything like it.

Not even the Real PRO cars at the nationals meets i go to.

Then, the driver of comes over to the lowly skyline owners ask to borrow a gear knob from us (why you would forget it is beyond me) so Nismo34 lends him one.

The guy says that we can all come over to look at the car, and Jet33 says that we all got told to go away which was a bit rude, and he says that it was because he wasnt there... but we cant come over now cause we are being rude TO HIM ? ?

These guys need to grow up. We are skyline enthusiast's and all we wanna do is have a chat to

[Interloper]

yeah, one of those fat dudes actually told my mate to "f*ck off"!! for the same reason: he was standing inside the garage on the concrete floor.

They must really be up themselves.......

But his dad was driving it the other time? Correct me if i'm wrong.

I just don't think it was a great day for good times - but anyway, it was a good day out of melb.

I agree with Ash, seemed to be a lot of arrogance on behalf of the 'shed' guys - pretty uncalled for! Just having a look afterall.

Thank you once again to the team at CRD. Fingers crossed we will be in the RH9 club by Monday morning.

Um, guess not

yeah but his dad was driving... BUT the clutch wasn't slipping either.

Or then again it might have been the other way round. TOO confusing.

RH9 club... PFFT the car even has a sticker oin the ass end saying that's it's in the RH9... but doesn't run 9??

GOING?!?!?!?!?

Like me saying my car runs a 10 when it runs a 13 lol

[R31Nismoid]

Also while i think of it, there was some SENSATIONAL looking women there too.

was good day in all respects

[R31Heaven]

Ok seems to be a consensus (spelling) that we have another day, make the day Gus& Gals.

[KamikazeR33]

i was thinkin the same.... in like 2 months r so?? when we all have some money (and new tyres lol)

Its done a 10's already.. they'd musta had probs with it i guess..

[DJ_L3ThAL]

my bets time was a 14.7... not too happy with the time but at least im improving.. maybe next time ill let down rear tyres and possibly upgrade the stock clutch... hopefully i can get her into the 13s

how about we all go to calder in the next couple of weeks ?

[predator]

I just remember when i was coming off one of my first runs seeing your car go sideways on the first gear change, that was funny

I might try calder again.. the whole waiting for 15 mins things at both shits me a bit, i just want to go, turn around, come back, and go again till i finally got it right (and have like 10 runs in a couple of hours) If i went to calder i guess i'd have to take a half/fullday off work to get there as early as possible.

With winter here, unfortunately its hard to predict the weather to organise anything properly You can organise all you like, but if it rains that can screw all the plans.

[Guest INASNT]

so did u guys get to look at rh9 close up after all that?

who was that fat *** that said he would close the door if we didnt stand back anyway?

[DJ_L3ThAL]

yer i know that was scary.. thought i was gunna go into the ****ing wall.... AND i braked!!! lol my mate almost slapped me form that.. and i still pulled off a flat 15 from that run.. i didnt understand lol

[DJ_L3ThAL]

ok well ill consider arranging a calder meet in the near future

[R31Heaven]

Speaking of tyre presure what were all running I was running 35 ld which could have been half my grip problem.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

i was running stock road pressure.. i believe it was 36psi in my 235s...so perhaps that helped me go sideways

[R31Heaven]

You are supposed to let air out ???? am I correct.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

yes.. so more rubber and grip the road...

[KamikazeR33]

give us like a few weeks warning tho so some i can save a bit of $ so i can come down
