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??

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
