Man, for all his titles and experience, a bunch of other people that I never thought would beat him to the punch have run 5's. Robin Judd, Kath Stevens, Aaron Lynch etc. In saying that, the last meeting I saw him test at (he was clearly testing and not racing) he was leaving from idle. If he gets his head around the slider clutch it'll be on like Donkey Kong!

If it helps, I've got the extra bit from an HKS Type R oil cooler kit I need to get rid of. Oil and water lines running off it everywhere. No use for it now.

Wait, I just realised that Victor doesn't even look close to runnin' a 5. All is well with the world once more!

What a horrible farking image! I'm off to wash my brain out!@@@!@!!@#!#$!@#$@#!

I don't even need to click the first link to know that it's Pete's burgundy R33. It's a cammy RB and not a rotary - although it fooled a heap of people who watched the video. ***EDIT*** Farkin' LOL at the Youtube comments! Holy crap!

The R33 should weigh about 3300lbs so tens are definitely on the menu soon with the same power.

That's 1-off-the-wrist-mo.

Bzzzzzzt! Pro Hairdresser (PS), Top Wallslammer (TD), Pro 2J20B (PR) is Grp 1.

Pffft... It's still the reserves. There's a ban waiting for him when he buys a Supra, too!

What do ya know! Stu found it! We're action stations Saturday morning.

And you know you're trying your hardest when you lunch everything and try to take out one or all of the following: - Your feet - The car - The track - The timing system - The officials - The fence - The crowd Isn't that right, Ben?

Got one. Thanks.

Need one quite urgently. Would love to borrow one till mine finds its way back to the workshop. Has anyone got an RB25DET they're building that won't be running for a while?

You're bloody kidding me!! Awesome time but breakages suck. Did you break the diff, CV joint(s) or axle(s)?

Pauly knows who the first one is and Sticky Dave knows who the second is. They're both record setters!

As per thread title. Must be in perfect working. I only need to borrow it for a short time but if someone has one for sale please let me know.

What state of Australia are you in?

I hope so

That's a great time, mate. You have a 10 waiting with the same power level and a 1.6 second 60-foot time. Great stuff.

Good points. It's also worth noting that the variation in the licence fee (UDL is $491 OR $341) is to do with something called the DRDF - Drag Racing Development Fund. If you're racing at national meetings, you're paying a share of the expense to run the shows on SBS/Nine/Fox etc.

You'll use it if you get logged for not using it enough times or they'll kick your arse. It is silly though. A parachute for a car that has massive four-wheel disc brakes that could stop from 160mph with no dramas whatsoever. I guess it's a question of one rule for everyone being easier to enforce than rules for every different car combo out there. The flip side of the above is the Chev Torana that struggles to stop from 135mph with its upgraded brakes alone.

Drag Racing as a whole is going gang-busters but this is because the vast majority of vehicles (notice I didn't say 'cars') are dedicated drag animals and not street or pseudo-street cars. One of the issues I can see arising from dropping the ET limits for a cage/safety gear/licence to, say, 10.000 from 11.000 is that what happens to those who have just spent several thousand dollars on this gear? Factory bikes can run high 9's (and for $20-ish-thousand dollars brand new) and some cars are running 11's with little to no work. Something's gotta give or the tens WILL be run with a GTech on a public road.

Should run 9's on radials then, Johnnie!

That's true, Jas, but paying more for a licence doesn't mean more experienced or safer drivers automatically either.
