Yes....it's on the disclaimer but's that's technically incorrect as my convertible still has a roll hoop and is street legal.

I was bitterly disappointed with my first few runs so I did not care and just rolled up to the strip with my hood down :D

I thought they might send me off again but they did not

heheheh that was funny!!!

Hahah yeah was funny hey 9krpm! Just crooozin down the strip :D It would be a real hassle if they say next time u have to get a roll bar...

Btw all those videos that Nightcrawler have up show me getting really blitzed off the line. Argh embarrasing =( Ptty none of my good runs were against him!

Matt's 540s are still wicked - I have actually bought them off him now :D .... I wanna hold on to them for special nights out :(

I actually did 7 runs on my normal street tyres and only 4 on the RE540s. Cos the track was so damn slippery it was really hard to do a good looking smoking burnout, and it didn't do much to the tyres (which is kind of an upside I suppose). At least I got a few good comments from the commentators about my burnouts. I was spewing that every time I ran a clapped-out celica or the supercharged Monaro, they would rave about the other cars and say crap all about me. I got close to the time of 12.375 required to get into the Australian top 10 fastest rwd cars under 2.4litres and they never once complimented me on my times :( *sniffle*

Wicked, wicked!

Glad those 540s are now yours, will make chasing those last couple of tenths that little bit easier! Was surprised at how little damage all your tyre smoking action did to both sets of tyres really.

9krpm, your "topless" run was a great laugh, they commented on it over the PA, but with your stereo pumpin you probably couldn't hear it!

Also, there's nothing wrong with the guys out there doing 17s - they pay the money, and help to make such events plausible, which is good for all.

How come I didn't see you there Miss*33? Or did I speak with you? All that adrenaline and too many faces ....

I was standing with BOOSTD about two feet from your car but there were so many people milling around changing tyres etc, I didn't know which one was you! LOL :(

Sowwy 9krpm... :D Nothing wrong with running 17s! My car probably wouldn't do much better! LOL The falcon just looked funny running against all of the imports - not what I expected to see! :(

even if i was to bring my EL Futura id still pull 16 sec passes (the g-tec says 15.9 but i hered there a bit out). i dont blame him for having a few cones, anything to get out of the commonwhore world hes currently in now.

as it is i dont even know my power output in my skyline. the mods i have one to it aint to bad:-

3.5 cat back. probably front pipe soon aswell. :D

Hybrid Monster Front mount

boost controller set to 9psi

tripple plat button clutch

im one to ask a lot of questions as im still new to owning a skyline. so if i was to turn up next time dont be affraid to tell me to **** off if you get anoyed. lol

Glossory

Commonwhore - A whore is someone who gets thrashed. commodores are the most common car work the rest out for your self. lol

hey chops, what did they say?

They just said that this time you were running with the top down, and that surely that would be a disadvantage aerodynamically or something like that.

It certainly wasn't them saying "hey, he can't do that!"

Anyway, to be honest, I was quite disappointed with the commentators' lack of knowledge about a VARIETY of cars - I shit you not I heard one guy ask the other if it was called an S2000 cos it was brought out in the year 2000!!!

I also heard them commenting on the "304 Walkinshaw" when the only V8s allowed were LS1's and although it had a Walkinshaw kit, you could CLEARLY hear the turbo.

Anywho, enough bitching, it was a blast.

lol lol

TIMMMAYYY: gota love the replys you get on these forums. lol

i dont have anything against the commodore its self. it just theres to many of them.......what i need is a 4WD with a big bumper to clean them up. :D the only reason i bought a ford as to be differant. both cars are pretty good.

TIMMMAYYY: you wouldn't happen to be a commodore owner would ya . :(

do it girl! you would get at least 15s depending on whether your car is standard. I say get out there and do it! I took my pulsar in the 4 6 and rotor nationals and got a 15.0 sec run! not bad for a n/a and people may laugh but at least i got out there and did it! I say do it!:D

Of course I bag it out - who doesn't want 500rwkw!!??!! :D

I know its a good car, but after driving yours last night BOOSTD, I'm pretty embarassed at the pathetic amount of power mine has!! LOL

Mel, we should represent the girls of SAU next time!! LOL If I ever get the guts to go out there!!! :(

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
