Good time, will be hard for me to beat you!

 

Maybe, maybe not, it always depends on the day

Best time of the night?

As many runs as you need?

A bag of delicious hot cinnamon donuts for the victor?

I'll run first then park up till needed, or, WSID closes, whichever comes first.....😜

.... sorry was that with the MT's or with a regular R888 tyre?

275/40 17 MT's mate

I'll have another play in a month or two and see if I can crack a 10.???

I actually forgot to soften up the rear suspension, and also forgot to press the performance button to let it rev out a little more 

Next time I'm going to set up my phone to record everything that is happening on the dash, like launch rpm, shift points, and what mph and gear I'm in at 12? Mph, I'm not sure if I was right at the top of 3rd or it changed into 4th at the line

Also, remembering to hit the trac and performance buttons, loading up the trans a little, slowly "mashing the pedal" is all apparently to hard for me to do, LOL, but, at least I can only get better

If was balls deep fun though

I'll be keen after All Crap Day, provided my car hasn't exploded or ended back on a trailer/hoist/jackstands

That's just the game we play mate

I'm now looking at a little vibration at high RPM, maybe the 30 year old flogged out tail shaft?

Smile and wave, smile and wave

It cracks me up to no end that you have a fridge in the car! There's something about the thought of hitting the drag strips with cooled pastries in the back that just hits right.

Have you ever been to Patisserie Schwarz in Wentworth Falls? If you are out that way it's well worth stopping by. Proper Western European pastries. It gets a bit busy and not a lot of seating but their baked goods are top notch.

Currently sitting under my desk at work running on 240v, it holds my milk and lunch

My milk tended to "evaporate" pretty quick in the kitchenette fridge that everyone has access to, so I needed to take measures

Must work with some jackc*nts to have to do that.

Vibration in rear or front?

once that vibration sorted would have to be one of the tidiest and sorted commodores out there.

 

I feel it is probably tail shaft, it is a body type shake over 80mph, and doesn't get better until under 80 mph

I'm "thinking" tail shaft anyway, I've booked it in to get Autotech to get it up on a hoist and have a good look

Some new rubber tailshaft coupling bushings and a new centre bearing on the 20 year old girl can't hurt anyway, so that may be a quick, relatively cheap, shot gun approach to start with anyway, justified in my mind as preventative maintenance

Preventative maintenance stuff helps me sleep well at night

The Matouks boys would be shaking their heads at this comment. Bipolar R33 gtst recently went 6.49 221mph 1/4 full bodied and still running irs rear end on 275's. I think that's the fastest 33 gtst in the world, also has sunroof. Covers off that record too. Lol.

Yours should do an easy 10 with traction. I know, easier said than done.

 

Sorry MLR for non bogan content.

I could thrown on Simmons on the car, white walls dis dat, instant @The Bogan approval.

Nope, Skylines need to run stuff from J to keep the "ricer" look, like vented bonnets and neons, and 3 ft long exhaust tips

Yes, I know and apologise for using the word ricer, but you cannot be a true bogan in a Skyline, as you cannot be a ricer in a Commodore 

Sort of like how rednecks drive American cars

And fat old white guys with arthritis ride Harleys

I'm still out on the classification of the R30-31 Skylines though, they are a sort of fusion blend of bogan and rice.....Bogice????.....Rigan?????

I apologise to no one

But love youse all

Bogrice sounds good, when you have a succulent Chinese meal from a dodgy food court behind Woolies CBD and your bog contains rice.

Typical R31 are from a stratum somewhat below you common or garden bogan. I think feral is the best description.

Maybe I should of got one of these before they commanded drug money

Just dropped the car off to Autotech Engineering to diagnose the vibration I'm getting 

Hopefully just the tailshaft couplings or centre bearing

They are going to stick it up on a hoist and have a good look and see if the couplings or bearings are showing wear, if they looks alright they will stick it on the dyno and try to replicate it and go from there

It never happens on the street doing 110kph on the hwy, or when I'm giving it some beans, but, once the car hits around 140kph at the strip it starts to vibrate and increases all the way up to when I back off at the line doing 200kph

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
