Youdaman!

The car flies, btw.

Alcohol dragster? Pffftttt! Filthy ricer!

You're easily amused.

Whiteline suspension 'works package' - if that's what they still call it 1.66 sec 60' times on radials. Everyone goes too soft in the rear and the tyres walk all over the place. In saying that, some jap-spec coilovers are insanely stiff and probably over-kill. Adrian

Engine dyno's use water and prony brakes

The measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump and other auxiliaries. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less.

But you're a hard-case, Shane!

$2000 firm.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Not neccessary. Cool, but unneccessary.

Yep - same here. One biggie in the morning and then little ones for the rest of the day. werd!

HAhaha.... You just let me know, mate.

Done. Wednesday, rain not withstanding?

I'm after enough bits to do a complete rear end conversion on my 33 gtst. Diff, axles, hubs etc. Either seperately or as part of a whole rear cradle. I don't mind. Cheers. Adrian

It's a funny idea but as we discussed on the phone the other day, not exactly safe. A car that runs low 10's being chased down by a car running high 7's isn't cool. It's the same drama as SuperSedan right now. 210mph MR MAD type cars chasing down a car that left 4 WHOLE SECONDS BEFORE THEM! Adrian

What're they worth mate?

Actually, make that 13.999 @ 95-ish mph

I hardly EVER red light.............. ..........unless it's a final

I posted that a while ago. Pretty insane! Before this video I thought that when a big slick creased up like that it was 100% driving the car forward but as you can see from the video, the deformed tyres actually spin 'while' they're creased right up. Thank goodness for beadlocks I guess

I tend to agree - I remember Nabil's Supra making em look like a full slick on the launch. He had 275/60/15's though I think so a LOT more sidewall to flex

Okay - someone give me their STOCK R33 gtst and i'll put MY tyres on it and we'll see what's what. I reckon 14.0's.

See ya Wednesday!

Okay then - try 16psi and back them down 2psi at a time to a minimum of 12 psi when COLD. i.e. measure before you do your burnout. 28psi is bad, m'kay?! Adrian

All cars are different - benm's gtst wasnt ALL driver ability - I didn't do much better than ben himself in that car (ben can you remember the numbers?). low 13's for 200rwkw sounds about right to me for street tyres. I went 12.9 on regular streeters with 190kW and 12.6 on drag radials with no other changes. Suspension in the rear that is too soft is bad too. I have very stiff suspension set up for that type of racing yet it will still 1.66 60'. benm - I'm DYEING to drive your car! lol Adrian
