Nice pics Merli,

Thank you for including the Green R33.

Not a star on the day, but ran honestly for 30 runs before the drive home.

My son managed a 14.0 (while driving in his steel capped work boots!).

Oh well, a brain transplant is happening in the near future. Then new ECU will not have kittens with the boost that the highflow is throwing at it.

Enjoy!

Great pics Andrew  :(

Moanie, can i just say that although they way Brad says things on-line doesn't always come across as he intended he has always has the best intentions. I know he would love nothing more than to see me do a 10 sec pass in my car one day and take it to the guys as he would any other female car enthusiast as it isn't exactly a female dominated sport. It isn't easy to explain what i mean on here but i hope you understand where i'm coming from  :)

Congrats on the PB's everyone, can't wait till the next one  :(

Andrea

Well unfortunately until it is explained, people have misunderstood Brad...I myself haven't but can see where Moanie and Stacey stand.

Brad has made statements on your behalf, that you have not been able to back up....even yourself stated to Stacey in front of me at Compak Attak/Drag Combat that you had run 12.0??? After talking to Brad he tells me it was HIM who did a 12.0.

Dont get me wrong here....i like you both but the stories are wearing thin..

Why did you not even do ONE pass in the car? Have you ever done ONE pass in "your" car? Reason i say this being up until Compak Attak I had never even driven a pass in Stacey's car....she has nearly fourty passes in her car....Moanie has probably done even more!! Ive only done 14 total. Only 5 before Sunday

From where it stands for these two girls it looks like Andrea is the token owner of Brad's toy.

For the life of me, I can't understand why you're so modest about them though. You've got nothing but compliments on your pics from both the SnS and Drag Day and rightfully so. Your standards must be too high :(

Paul, I have raced my car before on the track although not in it's current state of tune. I must admit that if someone asks what times we have run i will say the car's fastest time regardless of who drove. The thought has never entered my head to make people believe that it was me driving, i have just never thought of it that way. I'm not in this to take any records or anything i just want to build a quick street car. Personally it doesn't matter to me who drove the car to what time i only care about what the time slip says at the end. Other people may feel differently to me but that's the way it is.

You guys will not be aware but i have coped alot of flack from numerous people about this car and i am sick of it, all i want to do is get it to the times i'm happy with and it will never see the track again, the sooner the better for me. Brad constantly tries to get me in to drive it myself but i must say i really don't care.

If people have misunderstood i apologise, hopefully it is more clear now :(

Thanks mate :)

Well I guess I do hold high standards for myself. I love photography, and I know what I *can* do with a camera, but I just haven't had any time lately to go out shooting and keep in practice :P

As such you forget how to properly judge exposure, white balance and what DOF to use to get the desired effect. This should all come instantly, as moments don't wait for you to fiddle with your settings, and this only comes with constant practice :)

Granted, it was a horrible day for photography, and WSID's layout is TORTURE as you're shooting straight into the sun all day except for a window of about an hour from 3pm-4pm when the sun softens and goes down :(

Anyway, thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed the pics!

Fatz, the R31 went well most of the day but as for the 32's and 33's having 4 times the power???? You are seriously playing with your schlong.

Fark off to driftland and go spam a whore thread instead.

Merli, DOF @ WSID is a mongrel as everyone has a different idea of what should be seen in a WSID shot. Some of the pics were a little over-cooked though.

Apart from that, great.

Danish is good :unsure:

The burnout pic of your car where you can see the whole length of the strip is gold!!

BTW isn't it time you changed your sig.

*SOME* of them? About 70% of them were WAY overexposed, and the remaining 30% were way UNDERexposed. Photoshop saved quite a few photos, and they were still pretty crap. There were even several that were out of focus :unsure::P

As I said, I suck hs.gif

    • Ok another question. I have everything back in the car I have a very Uneven part of my driveway and one wheel is nearly touching the ground. Only the one barely hitting the ground is spinning. There are no weird noises when driving. Jacking the car up and turning one wheel, the other does not spin and same if I turn the wheel on the other side. But when I put the car in gear and drive, (in the air) both wheels spin. Is all of this normal?
    • None of the above. G30 660. Call it done. Or, BW EFR, or one of the other similar modern options. In the BWs we're talking EFR 7670 with the twinscroll turbine housing. Sorta good for 650HP at the flywheel, which should be more than enough. Broadly speaking it's equivalent to the G30 660. None of this is cheap like the OP's original options, though. The PSR3576 is also a bit larger than the new power target would suggest using. The ATR43SS3 was always a smaller choice than the PSR. 600 fly vs 750 fly. So they weren't ever comparable options. I would think the ATR43SS2 or 3 would do what is (now) wanted, especially if E85 is the path to making the target. Tao's own recco is for an SS2 on E85 for 340rwkW, which is almost exactly on target. The SS3 would have more headroom, but it really demands a 4" inlet. I would probably try Tao's reccomended turbo at <1/3 the price of the name brand stuff I suggested above.
    • G25/30 Series. Nobody seems to run a BW EFR anymore, and not at a 320kw power level on 95 gas. I did back in the day on a RB28, I don't think anyone ever ran a 7163 on a RB25. That said, a G series is going to be much easier to fit being physically smaller which is more helpful than you might think.  The turbo is the only thing that really adds power to the car. It is the most important of all selections. Do not skimp on it. If it's a budget issue, save longer. The difference between a G series and these other options will be like 5% when all is said and done. What's an extra $1000 now when you look at it through the lens of all the $ already spent to support..... the turbo to do its job well.  I see it in LS worlds too, where they spend $50,000 on the motor to run 2x $300 ebay china turbos on the f**kin thing. With engine consumables, well - they all are. Just less with less power. It's either already rebuilt... .....or it's a 25 year old engine you are wanting to boost to (at least) 200% of stock power. It would be very wise to consider what the plan is, and be ready for it, when something does go south. Don't be that guy with a just completed-now-broken-car because you didn't budget for things to go wrong, which is how a low of projects end up sadly.
    • If you had to pick between Pulsar and Hypergear I would probably go Hypergear.
