The Carline Mufflers Powercruise Streetcar Shootout will rock Willowbank Raceway, Ipswich (The Dragstrip) on Saturday November 20.

See all the tough cars that were at Powercruise hit the drag strip to show what they are really made of. Huuuge wheelstands, awesome burnouts (but not Powerskids unfortunately) and all the raw awesome horsepower you would expect to see at a Powercruise event.

With over $20,000 in cash and prizes on the line, you can be sure the Queensland vs New South Wales State of Origin trophy will be a hard fought battle to the finish.

Pro Street Outlaw will headline the event along with Pro Street Blown, Pro Street Unblown, Modified Street Blown, Modified Street Unblown, True Street, Rotary and Dial Your Own racing into the night.

The limit of 200 competitors will ensure plenty of testing for a big night of racing.

A Chicago Shootout style bracket for Pro Street Outlaws will ensure we get to see the quickest cars all the way through the program and from what Craig Thompson tells me, he will have something to blow away the competition. However I think it would take a monster engine in a small car to topple Allan Sarkis’s Centura.

A Pro DYO bracket has been created for the first time so all first round loosers can have a second chance at the prizes. But mainly so we get to see the toughest cars for the most amount of time of course.

US Automotives have decided to throw in a few trophies for the coolest, toughest, baddest, lowest and just outright awesome spectator cars that rock up. Powercruise staff will be at the gate until lunch time picking out the coolest rides for the spectator show and shine on until lunch time. More info to come later.

Carline Mufflers is once again behind the Powercruise name as major sponsor and without their support through all their stores in Queensland, there would be nowhere for the petrol heads to cut loose on Saturday November 20.

Grab a flyer from any Carline Muffler outlet or call 1800carline. That’s 1800 227 546 for your nearest Carline Mufflers store.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
