my best 60' was 1.55s & 129.75mph

i was also running drag radials which made my 60' :(

tyres were compliments of paul & his mates dog (dave) was eyeing out my nads when i returned them lol

i still blame paul for not cracking a high 10 - he told me to hold in 3rd gear across the line...i was on the limiter for almost 1 sec on my good run (paul u baaaad)

steve - what back2back tests u doing with yavus, stock v's match ported manifolds?

did u end up going bigger with your exhaust system as well?

Nah no that sort of thing, Pauls referring to his car vs mine as we have a lot of the same parts

Yep the exhaust is going to be a massive step up from the crappy peashooter on there now. I'll get pics up asap for you guys. The best bit? It's specific to rb30 gtr's so no spacers needed :(

and so are uncovered air filters, wheels that are larger than 17inch diameter on an r32 etc etc etc

Check the wheel rules mate, unless they've changed lately you can go bigger than 17's on R32 (vspec2 had 17x9's stock). From memory the rule is 2" up and 1" wider than stock fitment

The uncovered filter rule is pointless with EFI cars. Keep up the good work RTA.

Im in for a joint booting from WSID. We can go one after the other in one lane just to make a joke about it. Do you think they'd kick us for slamming the brakes before the finish line?

You could do things a few ways to avoid being booted:

Firstly, you could launch full-steam and back off after half track so that you don't go under 11's. This will give you a decent 60' time and also half-track time and MPH.

Secondly, you could break the beam on the green by creeping forward to trip the start timer...then launch the car and go as hard as you like. This will add to the ET but will give you the correct MPH.

You could then get an estimate of the car's potential by adding the best of both types of runs to see what the car is capable of.

Thirdly, go out for the final run and do a full pass and get booted :D

Then you could go back a couple of months later with different plates and do it all again >_<:D:D

Ideally, you could do this at a private day such as this one:

and get PLENTY of practice runs in before doing a full pass at the end of the day (or when you get bored) and get the boot >_<

Lol, endurance racing much? That's a shitload of fuel

Or just enough to get you to the shops and back on E85... >_<

Also the wheel rules are so farking weird.

Secondly, the surge tank in boot isn't illegal if it is covered and vented properly. (It really should be setup on a charcoal canister like the tank).

This is the same for the battery, if you don't have a sealed battery it is meant to be enclosed and vented outside of the car (For R33s etc)

Yeah smart move. The 1000's just wont do the job

Why are your drags closing? Is there a racetrack where the straight can be used instead? Eastern Creek used to do that up here. Anyway, you get Targa roads, thats more than enough :)

Tarmak has been having trouble for ages. Now they cant form a commitee and doesnt seem like they have the money to keep it running. The track needs lots of attention and last time I raced, after finishing the 1/4 the run off turned to shit and there was pot holes and weeds growing everywhere.

There are 2 tracks in Tassie, Symmons Plains up north and Baskerville down south. But dont think the straight would be long enough.

Hahaha yeah...with e85 on the cards she will chew a bit...somthing along the lines of 90-100L an hour at full noise

i think the bugatti veyron goes thru a full tank of fuel in something like 9min @ full revs on the autobarn :)

    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
    • Does this apply if you use an aftermarket ecu as it probably doesn't have that functionality built it? (Assuming it doesn't, in my case, apexi)
    • Given you already have the engine cross member to match and likely gearbox mount to. The SR20 has a head start on the RB in this case. They handle GREAT with an SR20, lots of fun.   One I did back in the day
    • have no doubt and wanted too trust me and may regret later not necessarily worried about weight (would be 8 kg ish total) it was more the $$ to do it properly is about $6 - $7K in hardwear need long 310mm stroke jacks etc - plus install and call me whatever im not doing it myself even if wanted too cant weld etc  - thats $10K installed vs fraction of that cost while Ive spent some money on this POS I actually really dont like doing so unless its got a large chance to make me go faster 😁 hey in still carting this things around on a 15 yr old rusted open trailer so I can spend on racing not buy a new trailer to look better the manual jacks Ive had done are heavy and take space but are transportable and usable anywhere - taking or organizing even compressed air let alone nitrogen which is more whats needed coming from Perth to Winton or Sydney or the like honestly just adds to my brain headaches/ hurts of organisation also ha 15 mins job will get down to 2 - 5 min job vs 1 min job for airjacks - all tradeoffs I spose
    • Purely out of curiosity, how do you know all this @dbm7? Do you work with automatic gearboxes professionally? This goes way way way beyond "I've had an automatic Skyline once and did some mucking around"
