All right.If you must know.We did a photo shoot on Friday with the

EVO 7 vs a WRX Sti. Both the cars we quite evenly matched - the Suba had slightly more kw but is heavier than the EVO.We swapped cars for a while & the rex did feel heavier but was ok to drive.I do prefer the lighter feel of the EVO & it has more exclusivity being only 1 of 3 in Aust.

On the way back we lined them up at the lights & the road sloped

down a bit.I put the handbrake on to hold the car back & of course I forgot to release it on takeoff!! Go the big drag racer!!

I'll get him next time - but a win is a win & he won.

Thanks Mortin Donnan.

It's great fun to drive.I took it for a big hammer up through chain

of ponds to williamstown & on to birdwood tonight. It really blasts

through the corners.Definately has aftermarket CPU 'cause it goes

way over the 180 speedo.(they quote 256km top speed & I reckon it will do it.) Could not believe how many bugs were out there!I normally go through during the afternoon - but it was on dusk tonight & coming home I could barely see through the windscreen(must remember to fill washer bottle) at one point it was like driving in the rain.I think a bee farmer will be missing a few tomorrow, pulled a swarm of them out of the intercooler.

Maybe they weren't expecting a yellow EVO at warp speed.

Anyway it's all clean now & back in the shed unharmed, waiting to go out next week & find that cheeky STI & teach it a lesson.

I parked it right out the front of Yorke Mitsubishi the other day when I was getting an oil filter for it.I don't think the Salesman was too impressed as they still have 3 'new' EVO 6.5s in there.They would be 3 years old by now!!!

There is a very nice R34 Gtt in Main North Nissan for sale at the moment.They are also supposed to be getting an R34 GTR soon too!Scott (the salesman) said he might bring it out on one of our cruises to show it off & get a buyer for it.

Anyone seen another blue R34 GTR around?

I heard a rumour that a basketball player from interstate has moved here & has one with the std wheels on it.Cool. 2 blue ones.Be good to see them together.

Picked up the R33 today with the full roll cage fitted.Goes very close to the windscreen so we can fit the std dash back in.

I took the car straight to Impressive paint & panel.Darren is

painting the whole interior including the moly cage.Guess colour?

Bayside blue of course to match the R34.Eventually the outside will be done as well, but not till the engine has to come out for a check over, then he can do the whole engine bay at the same time.

Yeah - the bees would not have known what hit them - what a way to go though!!!

A truly kikass display at the Nat's.

Sadly I'm an old fart with no cash so the best time i ran was getting one of my kid's to the crapper. I don't think they will ever forget the sound(nor will I) of 2 9 sec. GTR's leaving the line

8's!!!!!!.That's like a car running 13's & wanting to break into the

10's!!!! It amazes me how people think that if a car runs 9's then

8's would be easy. It's an exponential curve upwards in cost & development once under 10.99 seconds on the 1/4.

I will be quite happy to run another 9.6 on Sat night if all goes well, then possibly the car will be put away for the winter.there may not be any meetings over winter & I am starting to get very busy with work.After all, no work = no cash, no cash = no play.

I am very happy with the R33, but have no intention of throwing huge gobs of cash at it just to gain a few tenths of a second.

I have seen plenty of guys get their race cars running the best they can with what they have & then running that same time for years(some of these are 11 & 12 second cars).

It has to get to a point where you just go out there & have fun with the setup you have.I am not interested in sponsorship & being told where & when to run my car.It's a toy & it should stay that way.Keir will be there on Sat night so should be fun.

I didn't comment for you to hav a go at me because you assumed something that I didn't assume in the first place (im confused already). It was a question....

Whats your plans in the future? Happy with it atm? Wanna go any faster? Is there a limit to what you can do with your current setup?

What about slicks?

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
