Hey Guys

Here are a few of the pics taken by a mate of mine, I asked him to get photos of everyone but he must have miss heard me say "dont use the camera at all" :laugh:

Nah he did his best, but it was his first time with an DSLR and a pro unit at that (no auto mode)...

My best run for the day was;

60ft - ET - MPH

2.084 - 13.578 - 103.31

Not bad for a stock SS I reckon (315rwhp - 1850kg) if anything she loved smoking the tyres... :rofl:

Also be sure to check out this thread Click Here and copy in the info from your time slips...

Anyway here is a selection of what he took...

Not sure why you were so happy, maybe cause you took down another RB25... Shame you could not take down the SS tho hey... :rofl:

Here is a closer look...

_MG_8726_MG_8726.jpg

6500rpm dump 3rd gear, 160kph at the rear wheels burnout...

_MG_8730_MG_8730.jpg

We had to wait for the smoke to clear on a few runs and then i was told to tone down the burnouts...

_MG_8794_MG_8794.jpg

_MG_8814_MG_8814.jpg

One last big one for the cameras... :laugh:

_MG_8820_MG_8820.jpg

After this it was my last run, officials were less than impressed...

_MG_8878_MG_8878.jpg

Michaels rev limiter skid...

_MG_8881_MG_8881.jpg

_MG_8906_MG_8906.jpg

This Ninja had a wild ride, one wheel til about the 180ft mark... Then he hit 3rd and it was back up on one wheel and he still did a high 12...

_MG_8935_MG_8935.jpg

I cleaned out the wheel arch's this morning and found about a 1cm of rubber all the way round the arch...

Bit disappointed that i missed this event. Bloody chrissy party. Would have been interesting to see how mine ran. Maybe next time if it happens again. Just have to get out to a couple of test and tunes and fight through the crowd. But good to see a nice turn out and some pics.

Did anyone else take any photos of the day? Was hoping there might be one of me in there somewhere! Bummer!

Ill have a closer look at the CF card and see if I cant find a pic there...

It was all shot in RAW so unfortunatlly no preview, but ill find one just give me an hour...

EDIT: I found one, but its only of the front of your car, I tried to upload it three times but it seems photobucket is broken, will try tomorrow...

Hey Col thanks for putting those up. Those Skylines look porn on the drag strip! By the way you seriously made me laugh with joy when you were smoking the tyres on your SS, such fun!

No worries, yeah I figured I would not be the fastest but I knew I could bake the best rubber cakes... :banana:

      RB25DET S1 Into R32 GTS-T Assistance Required!!!

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      This is a simple swap when you reuse the RB20 loom and auxiliaries. I run a standalone, but if I remember right, using the RB25 ecu you only have 2 injectors to inverse.  There are many DIY's on this subject online, including this forum.

      Surprisingly the D6000 is only $1999, I'm waiting for the BF/CM sales, and hoping to get one cheaper. D4000 is well priced, still outperforms the 13" SVS PB-3000 and is like 1/2 the price at $1699 RRP. I do watch a fair amount of movies, and listen to EDM, jazz, symphonies, etc. so the lower notes from a subwoofer are always appreciated. The front 8" stage, just doesn't provide you with lively feeling, even though they are pretty bassy for a pair of large bookshelves. Then again, these days it's just playing Wiggles, Blippi and Ms Rachel, another reason the 3m wide cabinet exists, to hide all the audio gear behind it. They used to sit on a nice pair of stands, but as you know, they make good baby traps too.

      Granted, which is a solid reason why I don't have one. My floorstanders are only -2 dB at 22 Hz.  So they're still working down to <20 Hz. Which is no doubt part of the reason why my receiver shits the bed! That Tonewinner would be about double the cost though, so it's not apples and apples. There aren't many AU$1300 subs (that you can buy prebuilt, I'm ignoring what can be achieved by DIYing) that compete.

      -6dB at 22Hz isn't that great, watch the data from the D6000 from REW

      I'll just leave this here. https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/subwoofers.html TL loading, big power. They sound awesome. This is what I would buy if I was going to try to take the bass away from my floorstanders. Just go with the 12".
