Hey dude your caps lock is on :cheers:

Thanks nv033

we know that the MINES 32 in Japan has done a 10.60 with 25/30's.

Theo had the Aust record, 10.78 with 25/40's

Some guy in NZ says he has done a 10.2? with low mounts? (but this is only hear say)............so until we are proved incorrect or someone goes quicker......lets say DIRT is the fastest 25/30 :(

So unless anyone can provide any evidence otherwise, TWO06L is the fastest low mount-equipped GTR in the world?

Sweeeeeet. Congrats again. :O

I'm not sure that you're comparing apples to apples, I mean the Jap cars are running Nitto's and probably pump fuel. Then again their tracks are also alot slower than WSID as well.

Having said that, it in no way diminishes the results that Paul & Stacey have got with their car - at the end of the day it's a very quick time for a combination that would perform well day to day or on the circuit :O I think if Cabin/Autosalon are still doing that car of the year with track and drag testing it would kick some serious ass (with a slight change in suspension, tyres, fuel and tune for conditions).

i wouldn't call that spuring people on quite honestly!  And its not the first comment he has made with that theme... and like you can't stand half a logo, i can't stand sexist people!

As i have said previously, no comment was meant to upset anyone, and i did appologise if it had..... unfortuantely the internet doesnt convey how something is intended very well. It was only meant to be a gee up, but if you felt it wasnt i will keep comments like that to myself from now on...

now Merli, pics or ban i say!!!!!

I'm not sure how you can differentiate these things. If they want to run different radials, good luck to them, that is their choice. Pump fuel? That is not a definite and it is also their choice. And how do you quantify that their tracks are slower? None of these things realistically effect the times run in that different people choose different tyres, fuel and suspension. The main comparisons are there for all to see in so much as everything else is on a fairly level playing field.

Also, I recall a certain GTR from Japan a few years back attended a drag meet a Willowbank and couldnt run any better than its best time of 7.67 :(

That's exactly my point - being realistic. Nittos are a slower tire, pump fuel is certainly a different brew from VP gear and WSID is classed as one of the world's quickest tracks due to surface, prep, altitude, gradient and location. The goat tracks that they run on in Japan... is just that. You don't see the Japs providing an alitude corrected time for their runs, which is one of the most blatant aspects of their strip. Even the launch surface of WSID is a calculated affair, there's no way in hell that any such thought went into what looks to be a disused air strip/part time fire trail that they run on in Japan. There was a debacle about the legitimacy of the HKS drag car's best time, since it was done in "private testing"... Oh and wasn't it raining for the majority of time the HKS car was at Willowbank? That footage of Mr. K. doing burnouts in the R33 is pretty cool. Ideal environment for record setting yes?

Heh but I know you already know these things :(

I am not really sure how grouping the 'ladies' together is meant to spur someone on? if you thrown the gauntlet down and challenge me.. fine! but making remakes like that are really unnecessary and can feel demeaning! thats all i'm saying!

merli!!!!  what tha!!!!  when do you take pics like that!!!  was that at drag day!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Sure was :(

Not my fault that you have the infinite wisdom to pull such a face when a camera is pointing in your direction :lol:

    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
    • Hi all, got myself a 400R end of last year. Few tasteful mods done so far. Love the thing. Has anyone got any suggestions for sourcing bodykit parts for them over here???
