Drift Spec Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 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 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: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/10116-congrats-to-munro/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munro Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 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.

gtrken Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 wow , a 1.46 60ft. Thats certainly laying down the traction. What was it like pre Nitto ?

Bugalugs Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 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 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.

Munro Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 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.

Pawley Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 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!

gtrken Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Clock starts only when you break the beam. All that happens is your reaction time is crap but this has no bearing on the actual ET Cheers Ken Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/10116-congrats-to-munro/#findComment-159488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboyb Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Congrats John! You own a 9sec GTR! *worship* *worship* Any plans to take it lower than that??? Gotta set new goals now!!

Clint32 Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Well done John, looks like there may be a little more in it looking at the MPH and 60ft times for all the runs. Can anyone tell me what other car i missed out on and their times. PS thanks Chris for all the updates.

Steve Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 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.
