Took My Stagea To Drags Today

[unique1]

hey guys took my stagea to the drags today and best run was a [email protected] and also did a run at 124.3mph, had clutch slipping issues and misfiring on most of the runs, not an ideal day but im pretty happy with times considering the car is full weight (1700kg) and on street tyres.

can anyone tell me whats the fastest times for stageas besides this? i know one in japan is running 10s (or even 9s i think), but outside japan i only know of RBNT doing 11.9 and one in NZ doing 11.7 or 11.8.

i dont have any vids of the runs as no one brought a video camera down

Whoa!

What modifications are we talking??? Obviously, RB26, worked, big fuel/boost/turbos etc. Do tell! Very impressive effort... Finally a Stag in Aust is taken down the Qtr! Which track? What boost? Post up your slip if you have it! Love to see your 60ft and half track times...

Congrats! I'd say you've got more to come, esp. if you can drop ur weight and risk some semi's or slicks. 10's on the way I'd say!

mod list is built rb26 , t04z, etc, making 560rwhp on 18psi on pump fuel, motor has gone over 600hp on 22psi on pump before, so plenty left in the motor, should go 650rwhp on race fuel and thats the turbo maxed out, motor can go alot further than that with bigger turbo.

this is the run details..

reaction time 0.655

60ft 1.701

330ft 4.868

660ft 7.359

660ft speed 158.75kmh

1000ft 9.507

e.t. 11.339

terminal speed 123.28mph (198.39kmh)

i was on shitty dunlop 235/17 rubber so traction was a big issue in 1st and 2nd and as i said clutch was playing up and that was pretty much the only decent run i did.

I think it could go abit quicker as is, and if i strip 100kg out (seats and back carpet etc weighs that much) and get some traction i think a 10 is possible when its running right.

next time i go back i need an ANDRA license, tailshaft loop, 4 point harness and battery isolator switch because i ran under 11.99

just curious, why are all the measurements in US units?

i dunno its the american drag influence i assume, all drag measurements are imperial.

thanks, its been on and off the road for 3 years now lol, had a cracked block and melted pistons on seperate occassions so luck isnt on my side

it just looks stock nuthin special at all, havent touched the exterior since i got it, but plan on some visual upgrades soon (wheels and possible gonna go r34 gtr front as well)

this is a recent pic...

If that isn't a sleeper, I don't know what is

[unique1]

lol yes sleeper is the way i like it, the strutineering bloke was like "WTF" when i opened the bonnet, he loved it and had heaps of interest with the car all day from people wondering why it was so quick

I would say to them "See that (points to turbo) thats why its quick"

Thats what makes it special, stockish looking car totally owning the other riced up cars where it counts; performance.

Onya Brad!

Still a bit cheesed I didn't make it down there to watch. Anywhoo, here is a recognition of your efforts

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Well done man. An 11.33 is bloody quick. I hear there may be another quick stag down your way soon mate.

[Howie]

Very nice work mate! Gold star indeed!

[G*4Stagea]

I followed Brad for a while @ the last Stagea day out. When he plants his foot the thing barks like a wolf hound with its balls kicked in! A mate tried to give him a go on his Ducatti but was left with nothing but a helmet full of 'catch if you can performance smoke'! I love the rear exhaust... doesn't look that big but man does it sing! Should have seen the faces on bystanders as it did so too!

Awesome car Brad! And I too love that it is a sleeper.

Noticed my Stag has same size rear axle as friends R33 GTR V-Spec, so that put a smile on my face! Someone told me series 2 manual has same back end (drive train) as GTR??? Perhaps the rear diff is different? What did you smash?

Anyway, hoping you smash that 10 second mark! You have certainly inspired me to give our one a little more power.

[Tangles]

awesome

[IMPORTD]

well done brad. :

[dodgsun]

I got some pics too...

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Fark me, got squat?

Some solid launching there Brad!

[Swiper the Fox]

nice work mate...dont do a 10 though...it takes all the fun out of it. Not if you want to keep racing it...Budget $6000+ to get the car tech'd (racesuits, cages, harnesses, $350+ a year for a race licence, belhousing shields, tailshaft loops, battery cutoffs, expensive helmet etc).

if i had my time again id build an 11.00 GTR with full interior and a stock looking engine that i could drive to and from the track.
