Mate well done with your wicked effort at the 4,6 & Rotary Nationals.

That car absolutely hammers and boy it sounds awesome!

Finally into 9's, all that hard work has paid off.

Now all you have to do is put a passenger seat in it so you can take me for a 1/4 run in it :P

Rob (aka Shade boy ;) ).

p.s. dont you just love the drive home from these events, everyone wants to drag :( .. 180km run with a VL later :bahaha:

Thanks for everyones support.It is great to finally reach my goal -

taking my R33 to the drags & leaving in one piece with nothing

busted!!! Has been an awesome weekend - here are the results.

10.38am 1.64 60ft 9.947 @ 148.85

12.46pm 1.46 60ft 9.669 @ 144.62

2.35pm 1.73 60ft 10.36 @ 148.83

6.22pm 1.58 60ft 9.890 @ 148.95

9.06pm 1.53 60ft 10.14 @ 145.09

9.36pm 1.52 60ft 9.693 @ 148.88

On Friday it made 540 kw at the wheels.I am very happy with the

Holinger & Nittos, and the car felt very strong all day.

I did have 2 heads up runs with Keir's R32 but unfortunately he

got a bit out of shape on the first one & had to back off.On our 2nd run he lost boost & aborted the run.I did the final run at 9.36pm as a solo which was the last pass of the event.

Keir did run a 9.51 @ 150 mph earlier in the day so he is still the reigning street tyre champ - by a small margin.

Overall a very well run event & cruise.Would be great to see more

than 5or6 Skylines out at the drags next time though.

Well done "BRIAN" Munro :( All that hard work & somebody else gets all the credit! (Brian Munro IS actually a drag racer too!)

Hey John you can claim to have been the street tyre record holder for an hour or so :P

But seriously, good job John / Mark & the boys / & Martin. It seems those 2835R's had a 9 in them after all ;)

Getting to see 2 RH9 GT-R's go at it head to head was worth the entry fee.

Congrat's to Keir & all involved too.

Thanks guys.Yeah, those commentators should learn to get their facts straight!It did feel good to be the fastest - even if it was only for an hour - but whats 1/10 of a second between friends??

1.69 was my best with Toyo tyres on gtrken - still thinking bout WA trip.

Need to thank Mark Tilbrook,Martin Donnon,Darren Palumbo,Nate

Stevens,Joe Vozzo,John Dickenson,plus everyone else who helped in preparation & on the day.

Also a big thanks to Colin from Advanced Auto Finesse at Gepps Cross for polishing/detailing & storing the car the night before the drags - & Darren at Impressive paint & panel at Greenwith for the constant spoiler resprays & painting the TE37 wheels.

Driftspec - thanks for the shade - I was melting in there.

2 GTRs in Adelaide in the nines - be good when there is a third.

I said it on the day, and I'll say it again.... Good on you John, and all your support team.

Well worth the 20 bucks if it was only to see a best of 3 RH9 skyline competition.

I video-ed all 3 runs, and on the third, it looks like you were stuck on the line for a good 0.5sec or so after the green light. When does the actual clock start??

I sure hope you're not looking at me when you talk about a 3rd 9 second GTR in Adelaide......... might be a loooooooong time comming if thats the case!

Congrats on achieving a fantastic goal - nice to hear you didnt have to retire, gotta be happy with that, just keep pumping out those 9s, and in a streeter - very bloody impressive

So whats next? Any goals or just enjoying things for a while?

I'm pretty sure the guys over in the west would wet themselves if you decided to put in a guest appearence.

Wish I could have been there (did anyone get some vid?)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
