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??

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
