Sorry Mark, I wasn't shooting the video. Was reall good of Joel to take my camera and get so many runs on video. Now that my time and duties are so full on, not sure how much video work I'm going to be able to continue to do.

Shame we didn't get more of the Starion. I remember loving those things in America when I was younger. They represented the "New Breed" of turbo car believe it or not - hehe!

Some times I miss my Mitsubishi Eclipse (was a fun little car for a stocker). The eclipse replaced the Starion in the 90's as their flagship hot little turbo car. Was probably the fastest car I owned before the GTR.

y music? i wanna hear the CARS, thats more than enough music for my ears! lol

I agree. I am sorry but the music is so bad i couldnt even get past the 2 minute mark lol

Sorry to the guy who did the vid. The editing is awesome and the you certainly got in amongst it all and got good footage but music in vids like that just isnt my thing. The cars make much better music in my eyes :D

i agree with less music and engine singing, could have let some clips go .5 second longer and showed the times

Ok Boys -n- Girls, here you go. Pure sound on this one, music has been removed. I lengthened the clips where I could but some didn't go all the way to a time at the end.

Hope you enjoy.

Good News Everyone!

I've finished off the Drag Day Photos. Everyone who drove on the day will get a disc with over 400 shots. All shots are in both High Res for printing/slideshows at home and Web size for sharing with friends/online buddies.

I cranked up some music (NERO) and let them play through as a slideshow. I hope you all enjoy them :)

Feel free to head down to Dick Smith/Harvey Norman to print out your favorites! If any of you want some Premium Prints (Excellent paper/Excellent photo lab) shoot me a PM. I'm happy to help organise them.

There's a butt load of discs to be burnt, I'm aiming to have them all done and ready for post at the end of the week.

Thanks to everyone involved for letting me cover the day, and thanks to everyone who turned up and fried some tyres! :)

Outsiders point of view, but why wouldn't you organise a day with double the amount of cars, half the price, and maybe 50 runs instead of 100??

Nobody realistically wants to run a million times, or pay excessively for a drag day. Bigger numbers would be a better day socially too.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
