Went down to the Motorplex yesterday to have a look at the Commodore / HSV club meet.

They had some quite nice cars there and some damn fast ones too! (quite a few running 12's)

There was also one white GTR down there running mid 13's (anyone from here ?) and a stock bug-eyed Rex. Would have been nice to see more Jap cars there for comparison/competition!

The nicest car there (IMO) was a black Grange which was eating most other cars. Spoke to the owner in the pits, had a peek under the bonnet and in the boot and after seeing the blue bottle, everything became clear...

Is NOS, is good! :)

Is thatthe guy with the private plates? elderly guy with walking stick? if So he is a pretty nice guy! the car is auto but has gotten Chris Mills performance to do a few things. The nitrous setup on that is very nicely done and very neat , if you were a sweet talker you could say the setup under the hood is just an airbox or sumfin... well besises that little NOS sticker on it.

He was getting beaten all the time by rexes so he said he decided to do sumfin about it and spent many a $ on it tilll he was confident it would win... very nice setup!

Yup, that was the guy - Chris Mills did all the mods for him.

In terms of mods, all you could really see was the blue bottle in the boot and two braided lines going into the air-box, that was it.

A very nice setup!

respect to the 12 seconds commodores!!

i know we always say skylines are fast cars etc but who here has a gts-t and has run a 12? commodores are RWD too, so dont complain about traction. and dont complain about 'NOS is cheating' cos the fact is hes got the time slip!

im not converting or anything, dont worry:D its just surprising that a 'fast car' such as the gtst skyline is failing to lay down any times worth quoting.

I think I saw that car on wed. night. Has the private plates 'grange' ?

Adam ; I am tempted to say something outlandish like :

" I'll be doing 12's soon as well "

But, I take deep breaths and repeat the words of calmness " its a work car .... it's a work car.... " :)

    • 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.
