meh half million dollar car, it's worth fixing.

plus let's remember the VL is the only good commodore holden ever made :pirate:

and plenty of race cars have been rebuilt from much worse damage than that. that's only minor damage.

as for the commodore comment, you take that back! NO commodore was ever good. having a mediocre nissan motor doesn't make the VL good. however the walky does improve it's standing.

Good god take that back, the Walkinshaws are f**king hideous. worth quite a bit of coin though.

Uncle had a VK Brock, that looked pretty cool.

Aaaaaaand looks like an RB30 won the day with a 284.7knh trap speed and a 19 point something second effort.

Seems the top overall is a Nissan field

After i posted this, it went and did 288kmh.

It looked to be at about 300 or 350m mark, hard to tell though.

If it was at 300-350m than it wasnt caused by lack of bonnet pins it was caused by broken bonnet pins because that bonnet would have removed itself well before 300m (which would be id say around 140+ kmh)

Weird.

Iam not sure of exact times of each car yet and dont want to get them wrong. Results should be up soon but you can look on natsoft. I was there supporting my brother in the blue IS200. He got 9th outright out of I think 114 cars with 22.04 and 264kmph. Also my mate in the burgundy supra. He got i think about 5th or 6th outright with 21.6 and 270.9. Both obviously very quick cars. I should have had my car there but my work couldnt guarantee me the time off until it was too late to get an entry spot. Soooo painful watching everyone else have a go!

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
