I am awake because i got kicked out of the hotel...it seems they take offence to the guy that does the door knock at 4am screanmng "Weak carnts, get UP!!!!! SARK PISS!!!!: so i am at an internt cafe waiting for my boss to come to my rescue and find me new accomodation

I think the first time Pete ran was like really shocking, 14s something, second wasn't much better for some reason. When he went back in for some fine setting with Al i think and came back out thats' when i left.

Saw the Stag with SAU sticker, good work mate, think he did like mid 14 and left for the day.

High light of the night has to be the GTR, bloody animal. It ran 10,4 on some skinny tyre by the glance it said RE7...something. Too many cars at Calder.

There were some absolute animals down there... I dont know what the names of the cars were but alot of old skool holden and ford muscle that were FAKING LOUD, consistent 9 and 10 second passes. The Dalton pro drag RX7 FD was there and ran a 7.9 :(

The OH Performance r32 GTR was did run an awesome 10 second pass. It's good to see a nice tuned straight six whistling off the launch and run similar times but soo much quieter than those big old loud holdens and fords :P

Peter ran a 13.6, then a 14.1, then finished up with his best run of the night of 13.071.... soo close to getting that much wanted 12 second pass. Nevermind, next time Pete :D

A couple of white MKIV Supras in the 14's :lol:

Yamaha R1 did a few 11second passes.

Thanks to TomG for helping me locate a bolt I dropped in my engine bay when i was fitting my air filter back on :lol:

And big thanks to Daz for hanging out and talking shit all night while perving on the talent :P

hahahaha Troy you're a clown. that's a pissa :lol:

Here is my thread in the Stagea forum,

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=101824

best was 14.7@92mph

Not too shabby if I say myself. Standard SS's and XR6T's were just not able to crack into the 14's, they were doing low 15's. So... there we go.

I got there about 5:00, had four runs by 7 and then left just as Bass just arrived as it was getting wayy too busy/cbf'ed running more times...i knew what my beast was capable of :P

Oh Okay.

A report

Well, it ws super busy at Calder.

First run, did a 13.6 with like a 2.5 60ft. The track was soo much grippier than I though. 1.6 mph Launched at about 4000 rpm

Second run, blazed it on the launch, to many revs at about 6000. once it hooked up, I got that mad rush of crazy acceleration you get when you are at full boost, about 5000rpm and silly silly grip levels.

blasted down to a 14.1.... but at 112 mph!!!!

Third run, I did a 2nd gear 7000rpm clutch dump burnout. Then got off the line with about 5000 rpm on board, almost let the clutch out to fast and bogged down but a little jab kept the revs up. Ran to a 13.3 at about 106 I think.

Fourth and final run, another 2nd gear burnout (from which I could later smell some serious clutch burny burny smell) and a reasonable launch again with that good traction feeling.

Ran to a 13.071 at 108 mph.

All in all, I hate the world. I will be going back to Calder at some stage this summer to run my 12 goddamn it!

I watched as several big v8s, ran 12.4 - 12.7 with trap speeds of like 109, so there's mid 12s in my car somewhere, I've just got to give it the right shoes!

Brisby. I ran street tyres. Couldn't be arse picking your wheels up after the shinanigans with the Lada!!!

Ill Be Back

BASS OUT

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
