Wreckhead your a moron, openly flaunting that you will change plates and run a non andra approved cage, to get around the safety ban, in a forum which an andra official moderates?

With street slicks and any more power the gearbox will last one meet max, but hey as long as your mate drives it and gets YOUR time who cares.

I wish there wasn't safety bans, would make natural selections job a lot easier.

No mate, you're the moron. Let me give you a flash back to 12 months ago when I was told the following:

Nitrous and the standard turbo won't go together and it'll last 'one meet max'. You keep racing your car like that and it'll last 'one meet max'. Burnouts like that will break your gearbox/diff/motor/arse etc and it'll last 'one meet max'.

Whilst I agree that that it's a farking bad idea to change plates and race again without UDL and ANDRA approved cage, I think you're over-stepping the mark a bit by saying that his box will break. Also, anyone wishing natural selection takes it's course by killing other forum members at the track has no place on this forum discussing anything. If you think I'm joking, run that past PranK and see what he thinks about it. I could save you the time though.....re-read the above paragraph.

Jeez!

Everything always has to come back to you right? Its gotta be about you?

"I wish there wasn't safety bans, would make natural selections job a lot easier."

That is my quote, i dont see anything about killing or anything, it was tongue in cheek at best.

You might want to get over yourself.

Don't lose sight of the fact that the car ran hard into the tens. That's really good. Congratulations for that feat; it's not easy to do.

This is a drag racing subforum. Therefore people who come here like drag racing. Running a ten in a street car is a big deal. Let's give credit where it's due.

some people just dont realise the dedication and money which is spent to get where you want, but its ok, rb20wagon runs 9s i think. as for me being a moron, i think you should stop breathing in the wind as i think your bad breath has finally got to your head.

Emre: That's with the assistance of nitrous, which lowers 60 foot times dramatically, even with a so-so launch.

Well... I can't get my head around that one.

60 foot times are directly related to the level of traction you have. How does nitrous reduce your 60 foot times into 1.59 on 18 inch semi-comps...? And this bloke is complaining about the lack of traction !

Im not going to reply any more after this, because its just a shitfight, so ill make it brief

If you ran a 9 and tried to brake / evade saftey regulations, you would still be a moron. I havent run a 9, my best is a 12.55 @ 113 in my car, with about 290 rwhp.

If you saw the Drag combat special on tv on perth, it was the car that came second to Got Boost. How fast your car is or what you have or havent done to it has nothing to do with the saftey regulations which was my original post.

shuuurrrruppppp already, you and your regulations, im sick of your complaining.

why dont you mind your own business and if im going to break the rules, well thats good for me, why do you give a f*ck if i do or not, people break rules every day, for example speeding, burnouts, racing, shit like that, at least im in a enviroment where i can only do damage to myself, see ya

WERD Emre the 60ft time is nothing less then awesome' date=' I compared it with the HPI list and its 3rd best in that class and thats against some pretty fierce competition so with some decent drag radials it will be very interesting to see what it will do[/QUOte/']

Lack of traction with a 1.59 60 footer? Right... whatever :( I guess some people just like to make excuses no matter how good a time they run...

"Oh bro.. That was on low boost..."

"Wait till I turn on my solid fuel rocket engine!!"

I think that traction issues would be minimal with a 1.59 60 footer. Anyway, as you know, even with all 4 wheels spinning on a GTR launch, it's still scrambling forward at a great rate of knots, so the extra torque from the nitrous launch would only aid this :(

I did watch the video... I saw no "traction issues" with the launch :confused:

and I agree that people with slow cars always try and pull the faster people down... That applies to all aspects of life as well. But I'm not trying to pull anyone down, so I'm not sure what you're getting at?

Faaarrk... this sounds like a biyatches club!

All I can say is, well done for the time! I couldn't care who was driving, it's all about the car right? And wreckhead if you wanna risk running again and not complying with the regulations, well that's up to you... if you're happy to take that risk, and the officials practice the regulations.

Anyway, I wanted to ask yo'll about what Merli mentioned running NOS off the line?? How is this possible? Is it a small shot eg; 30hp?

And you might want to get a farking clue, pal. Tongue in cheek or not it is in incredibly poor taste and i'd prefer you just shut the hell up in future.

Errr... as soon as you nail it off the line, the nitrous kicks in. Remember that nitrous gives you the same amount of power/torque @ 4000rpm as it does at 8000rpm so no waiting for turbos to spool before the power's there.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I can't tell any difference steering the car.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
