I thought GTR's do high 12's standard ? This is what i'm told by people i know who pull themselves   over these (sorry for offending) king of the road GTR's ?

They do perhaps on street style road surface, put any road car on the real 1/4 race strip and it will lose a few tenths or more.

EVL can do a mid 12 if his car is well maintained and driven with the present mods. Given that these times are common amongst R33 GTRs of similar spec.

Nothing like a little pressure hey fellas!!!!!:(

I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what times I'll run tomorrow, but I picked up my helmet today so now I don't need to scab them off mates anymore and I'm good to go!!!!!

Rev, the car has done really low k's runs sweet and pulls really hard with no flat spots so i'm hoping to lay down some good times.. I'll be very happy with mid 13's for now, I've only ever been to the drags twice before, and the last time I only did 3 runs as there were over 180 cars and about an hour wait between go's....

Anyone going with a camera (still or video), would love a couple of piccies of the gtr, don't own my own camera, rather spend money on cars!!!!!:D :headbang:

EVL R33,

Hopefully I will be taking a digital camera, and I'm trying to score a video camera for the night. Don't worry about putting down too good a time, I don't want to be the only one with a shit time.

Hope to see lots of people there tommorrow night.

See'ya:burnout:

Our thinking is that if we talk ourselves down and then post a good time then we will be able to brag, if we post a shit time then no-one will be suprised. Simple logic really.

Why don't you come and race then, show us how it's done. I'm sure if you don't do any burnouts then your clutch will be fine.:D

Yeah, that's right Macka rub it in. I hope your time gets beaten soon so that someone else can have bragging rights. All right enough bullshit, only 24hrs to see what I can get.

So I go on the green light do I? I saw Macka use the red light, what does that mean, he was premature and came to soon?

just means his time shouldnt count :D

ay ay ay

we been thru this I had a .22 reaction time when i did a break ages ago my reaction time was "000.00"

Even if it didnt count i will bring it down to my next slip which was 13.066 dere happy! :shake:

Brett,

Dont stress it mate, just rev it to 6500 -7000rpm and away you go, I'll be very suprised if you go slower than 13.5 and be envious if you crack a 12.

Bottom line is that you bought the car to have fun in and if you arent' having fun fanging the R down the 1/4 then you've forgotten why you bought it.

Boys,

I ain't stressing, and we ain't squabbling, I'm just not one to get caught up in the 'I'll run 12's for sure' bullsh*t that goes on sometimes..

Ryan, I will be having a ball tonight don't you worry, ya won't be able to wipe the stupid grin off my face all night!!!!!

Rock on 6pm!!!!!!

Brett

I just hope it cools down. Or im leaving it till next week.

May still be down there, even if only to watch, just to see that purple warrior, um i mean the GTR of course.

And im keen to see GTS-t VSPEC's car too.

deesh,

Come down, don't worry about the heat, its already starting to cool down, I'm working in Rockingham. Beside it will provide the perfect excuse, "car didn't run so good due to the heat", or "yeah I got a 13, but without the heat it would have been a 12".

EVL R33 and I will need all the advice and support we can get in beating the Holden/Ford boys.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
