  1. Saw a new ad on imparja this weekend for the drags on the 25th.

    Theres about 2 seconds footage of my gtr doing a burnout. All the other cars are V8s.

    Anyone know any insiders at imparja who could get more footage?

  2. I talked to Guy Watts who said the test & tune day has been put off till June 15th, after Finke.

    At this stage he suggested entry cost of $35-40 with as many runs as you want and timeslips.

    Bracket racing meeting is still on schedule for May 25th & June 22nd.

    Shannons Car Show 27th July All Imports Welcome!

    Some of my amateur photos from S&S

  3. Option 2 would definately be the smartest choice on a budget? Shop around for quality!

    Option 1 & 3 could easily blow out to 2-3 times the costs quoted! RB25 = TAC report & engineering :(

  4. Yep burnt the STR2CD out. Not rated for drag racing.

    Throwout bearing = bearing release sleeve. Not a stock Nissan part but OS Giken.

    Bearing release sleeve may still need changing, due to increased thickness of plates. Would check with installer/otomoto.

    Sounds like the same mod has been carried out to the front cover/shaft as mine.

  5. Recently upgraded from a STR2CD to a TS2CD (BNR32) and had the same symptoms.

    I found my my bearing release sleeve needed changing from 22mm to 15mm. Seems 7mm makes a big differance. There are 5 sizes 32-15mm.

    Also had to get 4mm machined off the front cover. As I bought from Otomoto they helped me out with the info.

  6. $20 aint much to support the cause! Any presentable car in town has no excuse for not turning up.

    Even though the judges will be V8 biased, hopefully a import will get a place in Street Machine.

    Surely a import will take out the sound off.

  7. +2 Hopefully Skyline will be in 1 piece! Will drag out on trailer if not.

    Datto is always good to go. Registered 1/4 time on ozdat.com, seems it is 3rd quickest N/A in the country at the moment.

    Category? Dunno

    Hopefully we can get the imports to outnumber the V8s

  8. Last saw Julian writing for 'Silicon Chip', he always reminded me of a school teacher.

    I went and read some of my back issues of Zoom around the time he crashed the GT-R, 'RS Turbo better than GT-R' :laughing-smiley-014:

    Danny 'Denzo' Vahoumis, Martin 'Tuner' Donnon, Andrew 'Ignition' Hawkins & some of the drifters would get my vote.

    All know a variety of cars well, can drive & seem to keep me amused when they are in front of the camera.

    Maybe even Ketzal 'High Octane' Sterling if he is still around.
