So yeah birthday on 6 August so drinks on saturday 9th. Not sure where to have them though. Who's interested? *********************EDIT It's at the Great Northern cos I have no imagination. Start 730pm.

Thanks everyone. Investigating those.

You just have to use your brains. If it looks like you're not going to make the corner, don't just turn the wheel and pray cos that will never work. Go STRAIGHT into the sand trap and wait to be towed out. I had a lose at 180km/h at the end of the OP straight and while spinning around I managed to get the car to spear into the sand trap straight backwards. There is no doubt in my mind that had I hit it sideways I would have rolled it many times but all that happened was I cracked my rear rotors cos they were hot and I was sitting still. STRAIGHT into sand traps! Got it?

That's the idea. It's a very social day out.

Our garage door always jams so want to get it fixed and add electricness to it.

Moved to NSW general section as I really don't think this is an event. I suggest you take it to Hills Motorsports in Castle Hill. He will have no trouble.

Give Greg at Autosport Engineering a call. He's in Kirrawee, a top bloke and knows imports.

Ahh so you're saying I'm still the best? Sweet!

Just bleed your brakes beforehand with Castrol SuperDot4 brake fluid from Supercrap at about $11 a bottle - may need two bottles if you haven't done it before - then aim to hit a 1:20. Have fun.

I think this bears emphasizing. It's only the mods/admins and you that can see the warnings. They're there so if we spot you doing the wrong thing we can check if you have form or if it's out of the blue. Deleted warnings mean no record of form. A warning isn't actually as big a deal as you might think. They are just what they say they are - warnings. They are not a punishment. Punishments are setting you to moderator preview, temp bannings, temp disabling of posting ability and total bannings.

I find power that you can't use annoying personally.

Do they start in exactly the same spot every year? I got a really good launch and beat a supercharged 450kw XR8 to the chase by about half a car length and was only just over 200km/h through there. I have 250 odd rwkw and the weight of a 4 door R34 though.

Both of you guys need to work on your 60 footers. Practice and talk to other skyliners with similar power who know what they are doing. The advice I have received from 2rismo has been invaluable in this regard. Of course it goes almost without saying but you would chop chucks off your times with drag radials. (I've got some for sale hint hint )

I found this on my computer somewhere.

Only for cars sold at auction after May 2007. Cool idea though.

If you don't get a job with all the help in this thread you must be asleep.

Pipe and clutch still for sale.

FFS man! No one in here is being anything other than nice. In fact, I would go so far as to say that some people have gone beyond the call. You do indeed have thin skin and on the forums you are often rude. Most people are here to have fun so please don't take that away from them.

I went to the speed weekend, which is what the first post was referring to, last year. Awesome fun, social day out but not much track time. Still, it's cheap and you get the social aspect. It's the first weekend in December every year. Re the sprint down conrod, I just hit 200km/h before and through the kink (is that the chase?) with a good launch. Tyres, I used were semis. You can do a burnout just before you take off and when you drive down to line up you do those weaving, deliberate understeers to warm up the fronts. It does work but it's not great so I didn't totally trust the tyres until halfway through. Streeters would be just like on the road except it's a nice smooth surface. You'll be fine.

Price drop to $700.

Well it sounds like you're onto it now anyway. Get it removed. It's probably more of a security risk than a help.

Maybe he just wants to see if there are any error codes in the ECU.

Sure.

Pm me your details.

What are the August days?
