The Book is the GTR driver's best friend. It's full title is:

"A Million and One Excuses for GTR Drivers"

If you don't run a time you're happy with or something isn't quite right, turn to THE BOOK and all will be well with the world.

And another thing, benm could easily run a 12 in your car but it'd take 4 1/2 years of trying. :)

My Honda buddies are really into drags, one night after a Burrows Day at Easternb Creek I deicded to hang out and watch them race, they convinced me to drag as well as I had my car, and gear on me so I thought why the hell not!!!

I was f**king nervous, night time, big crowd no idea how to launch a GT-R too.

I lined up, talked to many cool guys who all offered a lot of the same sort of advise and then after what seemed like eternity it was my turn.

Korn was blasting on the loud speakers (lol) and I heard them say "In the K&N lane is Justin Fox from Maroubra!!!" LOL that freaked me right out! The massive Monaro thing next to me was doing a massive burnout, I just chirped the wheels and went straight over the wet road onto the line up line (I got it right 1st go that was just luck!).

Tree lights went and I didn't go, waited to get revs up to 7000rpm, took my time then dropped the clutch, felt insane, revving off the rev limiter, didn't know when to shift to 2nd but then I just did, then 3rd, then 4th all a little too late as I was too excited to try to catch the car that was already a bit in front as he went off the lights straight away.

Anyways, next thing you know you're in the dark, with this other car next to you, you do a u-turn and see just how far you've gone as the crowd and lights are so far away. So cool!

Got my slip and the guys were there to greet me, they were giving me the thumbs up. I did a 1.8sec 0-60 which is meant to be pretty OK apparently and I got a 12.9sec pass from my stock R32 GT-R on stock 0.9bar boost (but I had semis from circuit work).

I parked it straight away! Way too fun and addictive to have another go. I can totally understand the attraction people have to drags now. Totally understand!!!

ALL THE BEST PRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best thing I've read all day. Have to ask though........

When are you heading back for more?

Well Christian appears to be stoked.

He rolls up to the line, gives it a rev and drops the lunch, 5mins later he is picking up a timeslip with a 12.3 @ 110mph on it *bastard*

Was that the 1st run?? and what was his best??

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
