The story is in my signature! The one year anniversary of my M Coupe being taken off the road for modifications is next Thursday 25th August. Same night I got booted from WSID after running a ten second pass.

Your signature doesn't really tell a story though, is it near finished or is it still 6 months off?

Almost With You (The Church)

See the chains which bind the men

Can you taste their lonely arrogance

It's always too late

And your face is so cold

They struggled for this opulence

See the suns which blind the men

Burnt away so long before our time

Now their warmth is forgotten and gone

Pretty maids not far behind

Who you trying to get in touch with

I'm almost with you

I can sense it wait for me

I'm almost with you

Is this the taste of victory

I'm almost with you

See the dust which fills your sleep

Does it always feel this chill near the end

I never dreamed we'd meet here once more

This life reserved for a friend.

Are 12's the new 13's???

I reckon it depends if the cars running 12's with slicks or not. On street tyres i think 12's are quick for a street car, definately if its RWD. About 3 years ago i had a VL that ran 13's and all my mates thought that was pretty quick...not anymore. Now there seems to be quite a few cars that run 12's, even high 11's when you go to the drags.

With the times that (new) performance standard cars are running nowadays i dont think it'll be to far down the track that 11's will become the norm...

Hi guys... I still think that 12s are quick. I drive a car that is not supposed to be quick (Datsun 120y). I think people expect certain cars to be fast (skylines etc). Its very common to see street cars doing 12.8 - 13.9 times and most are done on street tyres as well. Back in 2001 my mazda 626 fwd was doing 13.5 @ 108. B)

As technology betters so does our drag/lap times. I want 11s on street tyres so the RB20 in the garage is being forced into the engine bay now. :)

    • Kaizo Industries put a VIN plate over where the Nissan plate would go. It was part of how they broke the law and attracted feds going after them.
    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
