I'm going to the drags friday night. Anyone else going?

Come say hi I'll be in the Bright green FG XR6 Turbo ute. I'm interested to see what it'll run as a completely stock car.

Hopefully going to see my mate race his HSV SV08 Senator. Ran 11.9 last week on street tyres. Hopefully get something quicker with some slicks.

Ill be sure to say hi if i see ya. :laugh:

Cheers. Terry.

noob question but whats involved in gtting your car on the strip?? would love to see what the 34 pulls.

Bring a helmet and long sleve jumper. Pay entry fee, sign some legal paperwork. Take your car through the pits to see if anything is classed as dangerous pass that and your good to race. :mrt: Pretty simple stuff.

Best of luck champ! :laugh:

There were a few evo's but overall a very jap-less night at the drags. 2 or 3 skylines and maybe 4 evo's. Lot's of V8's all over the place.

I got like 7 runs. Best was a 13.32 @ 106mph in the ute. Not bad for a completely standard car with 3000k's on it.

just got back.. my car over heated on the way home :s

i saw your green ute, is that a FG f6 or just normal FG xr6 turbo? saw that you bogged down on a couple of launches but still impressive times once you got into 2nd you flew. Great times for a standard car thats for sure.

on another note that rotary was awesome haha

i kinda got sick of all the VX / VZ commos :\ was funny one of the evo 6's i think it was, did a 11.8 and owned some massive ass loud worked v8, i loled :)

Yeah very happy with that. It's an XR6 Turbo, not F6.

The fastest run I did was when it bogged a bit. Doesn't seem to hurt as much with a bigger engine (compared to RB20).

The run that I bogged a bit was a 2.133 60' and my best was a 2.07 60'.

If I took out the spare wheel, jack, rubber mat etc it would prob do 13.2 but if I really cared about drag I would buy an auto. I guy was doing 12.8's with an auto that had done a few more k's but still standard.

yeh i was suprised how well it went, so is that your daily?

Yep. trying to resist modifying it. Need to be lower and a little louder. Maybe wheels and that'll be if for a while. Eventually I will though then it'll be doing 12s.

Next trip to the drags will be in the 32 shooting for a 12.8 with standard suspension.

Just chuck a turbo back exhaust on it i recon, the rims are ok, maybe a pod / larger fmic if needed? and up the boost a bit for the drags.. would be nice :cool:

Do you have semi slicks / slicks for your r32? i assume so by looking at your sig

    • We will review wtf is going on, but if you made any donations let me know and i will follow it up with the admins
    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
