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 :)

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
