Give me a few weeks to build up the confidence to try this clutch again. Don't wana b pulling a box every week.

Haha poor clutch not good to hear after last week man, but yer took a girl down with me tonight lets just say she wasn't impressed with the lack of cars... D'oh :/

Cheers for that, i'll let yas know when i head out that way

To easy bro :)

Just a heads up to anyone that was planning on attending the test and tune tonight, the meeting has been cancelled due to track clean up and poor access :)

TEST AND TUNE FOR 30/1/13 CANCELLED

Do you know if they are still having powerplay this sat at qr?

As of tuesday at 5:58pm it was still on... And that's coming from Gup

im going to go for a few runs in March here, never actually draged on the strip before, can someone give a noob a rundown on staging, burnouts ( are they even needed ) ? tyre pressures ect specific to willowbank ?

Also what is needed to run, just a helmet? what spec does it need to be?

Old bud will wave you out of the staging lanes at which point you roll out and wait behind the water traps the guy at the water traps will signal you to come forward and do your burnout (if your on street tyres just a few hard turn or just avoid the water altogether as there is very little grip to be gained by bagging the hell out of a set of street tires... Plus everyone will think your a nob jockey if you do a 30 second standstill :P)

After the burnout creep up towards the lights when ur in first stage the top pair of yellow lights will come on, at this point you only need to move about 10-20cm forward and you will be fully staged.

The starter will then drop the tree and as soon as u see the last yellow light drop the clutch and off you go, take the first return road and go around and do it all again :thumbsup:

How'd you go mate?

Ah dang, had a couple of cars go down with us. No records broken only casualties.

Yeha took down the dirty 30 for a spin, no 11 just yet still running 121-123 mph passes so I must just have crap driving

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
