What did you run Anna and Brad?

ummmz well Dave drove (as its not tuned and he would listen to the engine better than me!)

12.7 @116.7mph - street tyres, pump fuel, 15psi and old tune which is only half completed.... traction issues all night though...lol

Brad did a 12.02 at 118 mph i think it was.....

MPH is good. I'm only running 110ish for 12.4's. I know it would go 12.3 at least with the gearbox repaired. So 11's for you maybe?

In all seriousness, it was dissapointing that the GTR didn't make it out.

There was alot of umming and arring @ CRD simply due to the weather.

As an act of pennance, when it does run, I will have a lolly pop for all SAU members.

Yer 12.02 was quite weird i sould have more power :down: now but slower times and the 12.02 was with a 60ft(1.728) .1 second faster then i had done before. Mite have to go see CRD myself for a good tune :)

yeah- it'd be a shame to get some water in the wheel arches of the new trailer queen as they drive it onto the back of a truck in the event of rain :down:

oh how wrong you were...... 7 runs with an hour to go.... lol

but yeah no new GTR..... doh!

Considering at 3:30pm it was raining 10km west of the venue and 99.9% of the rain moves in from the west, and had been raining for more than a week before hand almost non-stop CRD were never going to take the car out.

7 runs with an hour to spare shows just how many other drag racing fans shared the same view as me.

Yeah I live a few kms the other direction and it looked like rain all day but other than first thing in the morning it held off....

Yeah suspected the GTR wouldnt come as I was over that way earlier in the day and it was raining on and off....

There was still quite a few cars out though.... bout 60 or possibly more..... just no breakdowns/leaks on the strip..

oh ffs I'm going to ban someone if this shit carries on.

if these guys don't want to stuff around for hours loading and preparing a car onto a trailer for a night that could well be cancelled anyway, that's their choice. Anyone thats not happy go buy your own bloody r35.

Keep it on topic, stop the digs and enjoy the chance to see one of Aus's most unique cars.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
