well theres a alot of variables that can contribute to a good ET... but one thing is u cant compare apples with oranges....my car is totally diiferent to urs so y are u even tryin to compare .....try tyre choice for one, suspension setup two, 60ft times three, drag strip ran on four, and the list goes on.... its not tricks...its common sense....or maybe u think i shagged the officials for a fudged time slipp...now theres a trick for you! Just out of curiosity, do u question everybody that runs a better time than u? :) :) cuz rotors do 11s with 90mph passes

Myself and BenM were racing the same night as AMU, Clint there were no slicks or auto, we don't need to cheat in NSW on our 1/2 prepped 3 runs a fornight drag strip :)

Its all skill baby :shake:

Also I have the time slip from when AMU ran the 12.2 as I was racing him hahahaha so trust me its all good

i wasnt accusing anyone of cheating, please tell the tyres you were running then amu they must work extremely well.

Our cars are not different, both skylines, running the same gearbox and diff ratios, mines a bit smaller thats all, Busters time is only 3 thenths quicker with a extra 10 mph.

nearly everyday i pop back into this thread HOPING that the times have either been updated / uploaded or the new site created - and everyday I am once again let down :D

How long is it going to take?

Or should we go back to the old drag list?

My [and others] drag runs were done 3 weeks ago now and still nothing!!! argh!!!

/goes back to feeling sorry for himself...

Sorry about the delay guys. I've got a guy here at work building a database to do all of this much quicker with heaps more details but its taking longer than I thought.

Please read the initial thread message for details.

NickR33,

I ran a 14.3 @ 98mph with 2.4 60ft when my car only had a cat back zorst and pod filter and on 205s. Your mph seems a little low, even for stock.

Yeah I couldn't get any more than 89mph at the top end, and apparently I was blowing a bit of black smoke. So it could be the stock cat/exhaust restriction or it could be due to the fact I have'nt had the car serviced or tuned since I bought it a month ago... maybe I'm running a little rich?

A 14.3 is very quick for a stock car with exhaust mods :) ...my mate was struggling to do that time with 11psi and 235's!

On my first ever run I managed a 14.46 with 7psi, 225's, POD, full 3" exhaust and an absolutely bucketload of axle tramp (grr grr and grrrr). If I can get rid of the axle tramp i should be into the high 13's which will put a smile on my face (for my driving ability).

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
