I've got an ashtray (two I think) but not the dash surround or seat belt clip. I can leave the ashtray at Bezerkly if you like.

You need Jedi power

Check the thread subtitle.

Some more pics for Stu to talk about.

Well done, that man!

The Corvette LS3 in this car produces WAY more horsepower and torque in standard form than an RB25 in standard form. You're kidding yourself to think otherwise and suggesting that a 25 could make more of both on std internals BUT with bolt-ons is ludicrous. You're no longer comparing apples and apples. Dozens of top drifters all over the world disagree that the chassis can't be made to work well. It's certainly better suited to drifting than the car this engine was originally intended for. Who on earth builds cars to sell? You're kidding, surely!!??!?!? Even so, an LS3 powered R32 makes a damn sight more appealing specimen to drifters than a 25 swap or a shitty RB20. Drifting isn't about lap times, don't forget that. It's about the show and the impact and having something a little unusual and different from everyone else. "An RB25 in a Skyline?! THE SHOCK!!! How rare and exciting!!!!?" To me it's a great engine choice, (the weight factor in particular) and is the perfect option for making a drift car stand out in the crowd. The torque curve for these motors is about as flat as you could ask for - sounds perfect to me.

I would've seen a RWD GTR as a bonus!

Fixed

If he had left the V10 in the car it would've done awesome stoppies.

funky, check BezerkR32's thread in this section if you haven't already. Same car and motor (but a nicer colour). LOL! "Morning Bruce."

Didn't even know the event was on. Poorly promoted or do I just not pay enough attention?

Ironic considering the drivers are all backwards!

Gotta earn your cage just like you gotta earn your bars and your 'chute.

But I'd rather be in a caged sedan than one without a cage if it came to that.

Prices updated.

Harness sold. Rest still available.

Better make that: 3/ Does it share engine, body, driveline bits with anything domestic? Grey import support for Nissan/UD trucks is pretty farking woeful but would be a piece of piss if it was common with something sold here.

Two questions: 1/ Internal dimensions please - L, B & D 2/ Who the fark needs 1 x 18 x 13" wheel?

Drove a new LS3 powered Clubby for the week a little while ago and it went bloody hard in a car weighing 1800kg approx. In a stripped out Skyline it's going to fly.

In the rule book, Paulie. ANDRA Racing Credentials 1.1

Thanks for posting, Aaron. I've received a couple of calls over this thread and the one thing we've agreed on is that there will always be two types of people running their cars at the drag strip. Note that I said 'running their cars' and not racing as that is the key difference. The first person is the 'racer'. Like me, Shane, Paul D etc, we'll abide by any rules, weld any amount of chrome moly into our cars, wear as many pairs of fireproof undies and pay any license fee asked of us because everything else aside, we just want to race. To compete. To test ours and our car's mettle against each other as well as the clock. The second type of person is the 'street meeter' or 'ET chaser'. They have a street car that they've punished all of their cash into to get it to make a million horsepower but don't see a reason why they should pay a chassis shop to break out the welder and, in their eyes, wreck their car with a cage. As well as this, they drive the same car on the road every day with their civil drivers license so why should they pay a body they know little to nothing about extra money to enjoy their street car in a safe environment? One that has been promoted to them by the media, the constabulary and, if they're lucky, their mates who also race at the track. I can see both sides of the argument and feel that if you want to play you should have to pay the same as what everyone else already has. The one point that this thread has raised for me personally is that not enough is known about the benefits of joining ANDRA. This is clearly a fault of the organisation and something that should be addressed at a grass roots (street meeting) level. I don't mean waiting until someone runs an 11.xx and then jumping on them with the great news that they've just cost themselves $150 or that they've just gone quicker than 11.000 and they'll need to spend circa $5000 if they want to come back. Instead, the organisation should be proactive about promoting all the good reasons to be an ANDRA member so that the hundred or so bucks it costs for a S/ST license is negligible when compared to what they're going to get in return. Not doing this is akin to taking your customers (potential ANDRA members) for suckers. And if their aren't enough reasons to convince 'Johnny Street Meet' to join or ANDRA can't make a good enough case to him, then something needs to be done to either dress up the offering or add to it. Reactionary enforcement of what I believe to be a sensible and just rule only turns people off that would otherwise be part of this great sport we love so much.

I'll pedal the slotty.

Come on Johnny P. Bolt the BFG's back on and come play!

That's pretty well spot on. Looks like you're doing everything right during the run. Just a bit more in that sixty and the ten is yours.
