The wrap up;

14.6 @ 158.9km/h

14.7 @ 159.8km/h

14.4 @ 156.7km/h

Each time, I simply couldn't generate the full blooded 3200rpm full boost launch that I can do on the street; time after time.

Frankly I was pretty damn disappointed with the times; it was just so lazy off the line.

After idling the car (in gear), through the session before in an attempt to get some heat into the gearbox, hoping that it would actually come on boost and do a decent; it finally did what I wanted and produced this.

To say I was pleased; is a bit of an understatement.

It left the line with about 7psi of boost at 3000rpm; so there may be more in it once I can get consistent boost control on the line.

Well done to Theo as well; a swag of 13.9's, regular as clockwork.

Good to catch up; top stuff.

Commiserations to Whitestag; hopefully your issue isn't serious.

Well done guys. Very consistent times Theo :)

Nice timeslip Dale. Is that about what I said....?

Big improvement over your stock runs, as you'd expect given what you've done recently.

Catch you soon mate.

I think I raced one of you guys on my last pass before retiring with a blow radiator hose(maroon r32GTR). Grats on the times and very beautiful cars. :)

You went up against Theo (WAGON BOY) and you would've been able to wipe the floor with mine if you hadn't had to bow out.

At least it wasn't a major issue for you then.

Very nice ride mate; the Maroon looked very nice under lights. :thumbsup:

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
