In the end I didn't see any of you out there racing in 46 degree ( over 50 at least in the car ) racing , at least I was out there supporting the sport..... You all say that we need a quarter mile strip here in SA yet none of you support drag racing by going out to the track and having a go..... So I don't think it's fair for you to laugh at someone that is actually supporting the sport. Everyone needs to start somewhere... No matter how slow or how fast you go..... I travelled 6 hours to get to whyalla alone, and that's just for whyalla. So if you do want a quarter mile strip here in SA then start supporting the 1/8 strips by going out there and having a go..... It shouldn't matter how long it takes to get there If you are true to supporting the sport then you will go out there and do it.

Drag racing thrills. Street racing kills.

I'm not saying straight line racing is for everyone...... You don't see me laughing or bagging out people that do drifting or any other form of Motorsport. In the end we do what ever motor sport keeps us happy. I just don't think it's appropriate for people to laugh at me for what they consider to be a slow time. Especially those who have never been out there and done it themselves.

Cara, you're getting ever so slighty cranky cos people dont know what you're on about half the time. Some of us realise that there's 1/8 mile around, and what you're running etc (ie cos you do have conversations with some of us, me included). So for me to see that, i go "hey, thats not bad for a first timer with a dead stock car on a f**kin hot day"

whereas everyone else goes WTF?

same as on 31 club, not everyone knows............and there are going to be some that stir. Learn to deal with them without going off the deep end at everyone..............because going off the deep end will piss off those who are willing to help you out

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
