I have got a medical and fitness evaluation for a job tomorrow arvo hence I can make work Wed. night:rolleyes: (thats what I'm telling work anyway)

So depending on how knackered I am and whether I can be bothered (I have more physical testing on Thursday so I might need to catch up on sleep) on the night I might head on down to the Plex.

Is anyone else planning on goin?

If so theres a 50/50 chance I'll be down there fangin the R, come up for a chat, 'cause unfortunately haven't been in the loop since the last wed. night drags I organised ages ago.

Cheers,

Ryan.

I wouldn't be asking for tips off me :(

I'm a follower of the "Buy a GTR and rev it till 7 or so, load up the drivetrain then jump off the clutch and change gears as fast as you can until you hit the line"

Not very scientific, difficult or perhaps even intelligent but it works for me, but then again I still haven't cracked a 12:D

I'm gonna head down. Just had the car tuned up so with any luck i'll pull a high 13.

Gtst vspec, you should head down to race. Your doin what I did, the whole time your watching your wishing you were raceing.

Why do you need to watch first??

The only reason I did is cause I had no helmet.

I'll save ya some time, holdens pull 13's-14's, most skylines pull 14's, some do 13's, gtr's do 12's, wrx's pull 14's, mazdas do 11's-14's.

And fords, ha ha, fords.

Thanks for the tip Hicks,

I could probably get a helmet by tommorow but I'm working till about 7:30, so I didn't want to give it a half hearted effort. The following Wednesday I will be prepared.

Hope to see you down there though.

See'ya:burnout:

I went down and saw a few runs from Hicks, Macka and adam32 ( I think :)

By the looks of it Hicks got into high 13's one run at 13.8 .. I think and the rest were low/mid 14's.

Macka had some sweet runs with a nice 13.06 and 13.07 and some 15.something run..

**** remember anymore :)

There was a sick speedworks 200sx but dropped a bit of white smoke on it's last run (blown turbo?).

Also saw a GTiR up against a S13 which was beating it up until half track when it basically slowed to a crawl to never come out again :)

Was a pretty good night with a all-holden burnout pad at the end.

No soarers this week, suprise suprise.

That's my recap :D

Well It seems Macka is breathing down the necks of the GTR boys and girls now with flat 13's. Thats where I'd like to be next time round. Might be a bit harder for me without that Mack-tastic power :)

A little birdy told me the track was 'treated' reasonably tonight, something I think they should do more of since more street cars are turning up to race.

Hicks, did you get that 13.8 you were chasing?

Adam32 how did you go with the boost over 8psi?

Well done everyone, seem's like (almost) everyone came back happy.

Hicks, what was your 60' like? Did you end up running on standard rear rims?

Macka, what was your terminal speed like? Must have been pretty good with a 12.98 1/4 and only a 2.25 60'.

adam 32, sorry to hear... give us details once you recover.

as far as i can tell...

on my first run with soft suspension, as i changed into 2nd the centre muffler (which is very low to the ground) bounced up and smashed into the diff. there is now a considerable oil leak and im assuming power wasnt being transferred through the diff and thus the shitty time of 14.4

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
