Mark backed it up today with an 8.75 and an 8.8. may have been more but we left early.

Tony Wedlok debuted the 2j solara today as well. Farkin impressive. Nailed it to just over half track then got out of it and still ran a mid 7. Made a few of the bogans take notice. :thumbsup::down:

On a stranger note, Theo was 1 km away playing dyno queen at the power cruise, I would have thought he wouldnt miss an opportunity to get in some runs this close to the nats.

thanks, ended up 5th qual in super sedan... had a good weekend...

ran 8.99, 8.83 , 8.70 , 8.79 for the weekend... car ran great all weekend...

cheers, mark

Hi Mark

Well done on your all your 8 sec passes.

Is there a propper top ten list for the fastest skylines using Dot tyres in the world.

I have a list on my forum but it now needs some changes made to it.

I would like to know if you think all the times on this list were backed up ???

please let me know your best time and i will add it to my top ten list

Keith

the croydon car that ran 8.55 was on et streets which are a rag type tyre. doesnt really count as a street radial.. correct me if its wrong....

cheers, mark

They're still a DOT tyre so it makes them eligible for Keith's list at least.

As much as I don't like it, that's the way the rest of the world classifies a street tyre. Drag your car keys along each of your ET Drags and get on the list yourself with another 8.40!!

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
    • Also, there's always room for 4 or 5 3/8" drive wobble extensions of various lengths so you can operate the ratchet from a better location.
