Hey sports fans,

I had an intersting day in Miami (well west of Miami) at the Top Gun Run- Miami Mile.

www.topgunrun.com

The event was held at a private airport... it was very fast and the furious "race warz"!!! ha ha ha...

lots of top end cars, with some serious modifications!!! No less than a dozen vipers (8 were forced induction), 6 forced induction Lambo's, 5 brand new GTR's, 4 GT40's and a bunch of other exotics...

I was invited by Trevor from wizard of nos http://www.noswizard.com/ ... who buy the way set up the world class, record setting nitrous kit in 12minutes. Trevor was there to run some new equipment on Performance Power's 1400hp twin turbo GT40. Insane!!

The car runs around 10.5:1CR, boost spikes to around 37psi, twin precision turbo 75mm turbo's AND 100hp jetted shot of gass... Nut's just nuts. The car struggles for traction at 200mph in 6th gear!

The first clean pass for the day resulted in 232mph.

Then an hour later, with no set up changes other than activating the nitrous the car ran 252mph- with a missed 4th gear and average launch!!!

I belive 252mph is the standing mile record for USA and I'm fairly shure the rest of the world...

Here's a few pictures:

Yeah it was absolutly mental!!! It actually makes you sad to see that only 200 or 300 people spectators turned up to watch. But there was 80 odd entrants for the event...

These yanks throw some serious cash at top end cars!

Also, the only skyline GTR at the event ended up with a hole in the block as big as your fist!!! But his first run was 192mph..!

Cheers

PS Off to moroso next month.

Unfortunatly I didn't take my big camera.

But check out http://www.mysmokinride.com for the full story soon!

I belive there is another mile event next month. If it's close I'll try and cover it with some better shots.

Wow they throw some serious coin at those cars. Must of sounded amazing out there.

Yeah... Insane amounts of money. Alot of wealthy people with really cool toys!!! Actually the guy that won last year was really pissy that hiss heffernan twin turbo'd 08 Lambo got beaten. It had veeeery big turbo's on it too... from a rolling start, it took 60 or 80 feet just to come onto boost! He's now looing at a full wizard of nos nitrous set up.

It blows me away the kind of money people are throwing at these things.... And I work on SUPERYACHTS!!! ha ha ha the biggest rich boy toys of all.

There is somthing like 700k in the development of the GT40.

goes ok. i can understand why he missed a gear, imagin the nerves

Naa Johnny was overly exited more than nervous.

We're going back out to hopefully take the record to 270 on sunday.

This time I will be there to make sure that they don't negate my "boost by gear" system by running too much boost in the lower gears.

That's my sleeper Infiniti M30 (leopard) with L28et in the background.

Well sports fans, the record was re-set at 266mph by the Hoffman GT40 last week... Unfortunatly I didn't attend (work... blahh).

I'm shure Performance power/ Johnny are keen to get it back.

Exiting times for standing mile!!!

Cheers

    • 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?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
