Thanks guys. No new mods since my last 13.4's, just practice. Still auto.

This is from the other thread I started:

I've been quite frustrated by my bad drag times so far in my car. Even when I had the stock turbo I seemed to be way behind the pack. I've been to a few wednesday night street meets and in my unprofessional opinion they suck for everything bar socialising. Too many cars, not enough runs, too many rotaries dropping oil all over the track.

I figured what I needed was a private track day with lots of runs to practice so I went to the V8owners track day on sunday (I was invited by the organisers who know me) and I practiced.

First run 13.4

Second run 13.3

Third run 13.2

Fourth run 20.4

Fifth run 13.08

Sixth 13.4

Seventh 13.2

Eighth 12.9!!!!

At this point I rang 2rismo who gave me a little tip and told me I had a 12.8 in it. I didn't believe him and consequently stuffed the next 3 runs up.

Next I started paying attention and I got about 4 12.8's and then 3 12.7's each time dropping a few hundredths on my ET. My MPH on my final pb of 12.764 was about 105.xx but interestingly I got 107.95 and 107.88 on other runs so maybe I've got a 12.6 in it?

I've got steel wires sticking out my tyres now and a grin from ear to ear. I made lots of smoke and put some of the V8's to shame, although one guy made my 190km/h burnout over the start line look lame by burying me in his tyre smoke.

Thanks to 2rismo for the tips.

Congrat's on the ET improvement!

Peter and Duncan are a well organised friendly bunch who know how to put on a good day at WSID. I went out in March with them, lots of fun.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
