Tim, the big difference btw Adrian (2rismo) and myself is that Adrian can drive!

Yeah I know Adrian, woeful indeed mate. I'll give your 6krpm tip a go. I usually drop it at ~3-4k. It seems like I'll never crack the 2.0 mark let alone a 1.6, but practice makes perfect

I feel for you Matty. Bloody cars hey. Good to hear it's all fixed now. Oh yeah... thanks for making me feel much better about my 60's on 275/40/17 Nittos, with a 2.8 you make Chapman's 60's look good

Thanks Mark, and double thanks for the photo mate! You bloody ripper, photographic evidence that I CAN actually smoke 'em up!!!

Thanks for the pics Andy.

You'll get there matt, the mph indicates low 11's once you get it to hook up properly.All in time you'll pull the times it's capable of.

Best time and new P.b was 11.3 @ 121mph, i know it's not a Skyline, but it's RB powered!!

Practice makes perfect as they say!!

Also, the margin between spinning off the line too much and bogging gets a lot closer with Nittos. I tend to over cook them if I leave the line with too many revs and run 1.8 60's.

They REALLY REALLY need a good cooking though dude. Badly.

Thanks Adam. Congrats on the PB mate.

Cheers for the info Adrian.

damm, intercooler pipe:(   fixed now and ready for the next wednesday night meeting. my best (if you can call it that) time for the day was 14.020  at 103.65mph. 60ft was a poor 2.8. have to get used to the nittos

Well done Matt and Chapman

Look at it this way Matt, they say every tenth on your 60' is worth two tenths at the other end, so even with a 2.2 60' you're looking at 12's.

Must find the positive!

How did keir's 32 go out of interest?

[whatsisname]

I didn't see Keir out there Tim. I know he ran on the 30th of May (practice day). I dunno what times he got though?

The GT Autosound S15 ran on the 30th too. It went 9.3 @ mid 140's! I think Martin said the engine when bang again though

Carol (from fullboost.com.au) took this awesome launch pic of the GT AS S15 -

Thats farking nuts!

[TIMMMAYYY]

ahhh whoops the I had my dates mixed up..

[whatsisname]

Thats farking nuts!

It's a bloody awesome shot hey Steve! It certainly hauls ass of the line. They were running a 150 shot of gas on it.

I just remembered! Martin was telling me that they had a bloody injector clip come off. This caused that cylinder to run lean (as expected with no power to the injector!) and it popped The lack of fuel when running nitrous is a surefire piston killer.

Well done to all you boys who went out there.

shouldn't be hard on yourself, it's not the easiest thing to do if you don't go out there much.

Just keep going and you'll get better.

[MattR]

[slyr33]
