  1. I do know someone who had an R33 GTST with 210rwkw and ran a best of 12.0 with just a little wheelspin. Then, on what turned out to be his last run of the night, he hooked up really well off the line only to break a non-genuine uni joint!

    Hmmmm... I think I might have been a bit off the mark. Maybe it was a 13 flat on his best run.

    That sounds right. It was a while ago! :P

  2. Is it GTST? If it's the same as the GTR there's a little panel next to the handbrake which you should be able to pop out and see an adjusting screw/bolt in there. If you can't get to it through there you'll have to take the centre console off. Just make sure that when you've adjusted it you jack up the back and check that the rear wheels still turn easily.

  3. Did anyone else find it a bit weird them saying you only need 230rwkw out of a GTST to do an 11 second pass? Has anyone ran a 11 second pass with only 230rwkw?

  4. thats some nice work man, :( unfortunately all my spare cash is going to be going on investing now but ill deff have to whip up something like that in the future.

    that lil chair in yours looks like it could get uncomfortable after a while though :blush: but nice all the same

    :nyaanyaa: It didn't actually cost that much to put together. The timber I found on a building site, small pieces of mdf was what I had left over from building my poker table (that's another story) and the chair was only about 30 bucks from Ikea. Just took a hacksaw to the legs :P

    And it's surprisingly comfortable. Been doing some enduros lately and no complaints.

  5. I agree. It seems every single older person was a little angel when they were little right ?

    Having said that not all older people are like this, works both ways .

    That's right. It's easy to stereotype. My implication that all older drivers crash because of being disorientated is just as silly as the claims that all young import drivers are reckless.

  6. in my opinion this is a prim example that should show people, eg government people, that South Australia is in dire need of a safe off street drag strip. This opinion was quickly shot down by every person there i was talking to. There take on it was if we had a drag strip here it would encourage people to do it on the roads more often.

    That's rubbish. Exactly the opposite has been proven.

    Can't remember exactly where or when I saw it but I remember the police saying it had a positive effect and drivers at the track said that they would feel less inclined to race on the streets.

    This narrow-minded group of certain ones of "the older generations" needs to show some respect and stop stereotyping every young import driver as a hoon. Just remind them that in 20 years they'll all be crashing into peoples front yards because of being disorientated and hitting the accelerator instead of the brake.

  7. Need to do the clutch in my R33 gtr soon.

    Anyone had any experience with this Xtreme clutch?

    It's 1260kg clamp load (approx 50% over standard), and a dampened hub with cushioned ceramic facings.

    At the moment I might be making around 230kw atw, but need it to handle 330kw atw.

    Ballpark price i've seen at the moment is around $1100 for the kit.

  8. Nice one, Michelle!

    Now, take out that Holden V6 and drop in a VQ35 with open exhausts!

    What was that? Rules for your racing class? What rules? Just tell them it's the new V6 from the VE series... :(

    Hmmm... I'm sure a VR38TT would fit :)

    ......"What do you mean official? There's nothing wrong here, it's still a V6!"
