Please, if you have any doubts let’s line up player

I’m yet to see any videos of your car light it up, come step to the plate ; )

Ring me when you have trapped 140mph+

For starters, you don't have a 9 second GT-R, nor do you have a dyno sheet....lol

SAU should run a drag day again.

Lets all go

Put me down for any race 4 real in October as a definite.

I think it should be an SAU roll racing day, the reality is it's much more gentle on the car....than the typical SAU circuit day.

With our vehicles becoming collectible anyone belting them on a track is out of their mind tbh.

Well I'm stoked to see the car out and about being used, well done. 

Glad it didn't blow a box and as you said roll racing is more gentle, being mechanically sympathetic will help, good fluid etc etc it all helps. I've always liked the saying, the candle the burns twice as bright lasts half as long so while it's great it didn't fail, it has done barely any k's under load and down this way my experience has been they fail under track conditions just because it's harder and the loads are sustained for longer.

It will fail at some point, everything mechanical does, and it won't be a surprise or a big deal because it's simply out of spec and we are all constantly pushing shit out of spec then replacing those weak links, get as much enjoyment out of it as you can until that point I reckon. 

How are you finding the power delivery and general driving experience vs the GT-R? I've always found that everything feels a bit more raw in a Silvia, GT-R puts down and utilises power so differently - I think that's where the comments come from GTR people saying you need at least 400 or 500kw or what ever power to make a GT-R fun, because they are deceptively good at harnessing greater power levels.

Sounds fair, although it seems that everyone cheats at roll racing, getting on well before the line in some cases.

I suppose it is better than hitting it down the local off ramp or main road.

Meanwhile.... you don't have to "beat on" a car at the drags to have fun, limiter launches are not required to get a good representative time and trap.

Whilst the Nissans are becoming collectable, and worth some coin, they are not made of glass.

Get out there, I want to smoke some Nisans in my Bogan Cruise Ship.

And the worst ones for jumping are the people in the really fast car or in super cars (lambo, Porsche etc)

Pff, the ones out of their minds are the ones parking their S15 up in a Carcoon in a shed somewhere and pretending it is a Sandman. I kind of loath the direction our cars are going in, because it is the opposite of what made them popular in the first place. In 10 years time, track days are going to consist of a field of VW Polos and Hyundai I30's, because 95% of people with a 90's performance car will be too scared to use it. Those 5% that will still be out there - you're the real MVP's.

I have seen this a few times now, do you not get penalized for jumping?

Otherwise I guess it is the potato olympics

Definitely the potato Olympics

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
