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

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now.
