Dear oh dear. Almost got sucked into the, mine is better than yours, debate :D

There's no doubt that the LS1 powered Commodore/Monaro is a reasonable quick beast from the factory. With a few $$$ it can be made to run very quick numbers. Henry, Rob & Matt's cars are three local examples.

I think we should have an RB vs. LS1 challenge!

Challenge #1 - How many laps of Anzac Hwy before receiving a defect

Challenge #2 - Quickest time up EOTH towing a boat

Challenge #3 - Largest number of, 'ful sik bro', comments on one pass of Rundle St (bonus points awarded if you also collect a defect during this challenge)

Challenge #4 - Ahhh.... well you all get the idea. Feel free to add more :D

I agree with all of the above :) .... strap some slicks (and/or nitrous as some of the LS1s) on our cars and we have a different bll game. I'd give any of those LS1s a run on the street on pure street tyres and I know what almost all the results would be.

I know the result... we'd win :cheers: *cough* jaffa with 3 people *cough*

Even with your swanky tyres LOL

:)

Here it is then guys, the one off and highly excellent chance for the Ricers to put away the Rattly Oil Burners once and for all. Its the LS1 Drag Nationals, and interestingly enough one of the event sponsors, and main competitors is Keir Wilson in his R32 GTR. Go figure! Prizemoney is excellent though...so if you are up for it, download an entry form and fill it out!

Picked up the GTR this week.

Made 348rwkw at 0.7bar, then after a few kays & an oil change, made 420rwkw at 1.3bar.

The car feels very strong.

Mick & co at Tilbrooks have done an excellent job with this current build up.

We will leave the tuning on the conservative side for a while so I can get used to the car (& the crazy gearbox)

then later we might put some better fuel in & crank up the boost a bit more & see what it can do down the 1/4.

Country roads are what this thing is built for, so will be good to get out of the city & stretch it's legs.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
