C'mon Rob! You put your car through harsher punishment on most cruises. I'm serious too! As Clint mentioned above, apart from the potential for a bit of clutch punishment (which depends on how you drive it?) the car will be fine. Trust me mate you'll have a absolute ball :) You'll be hooked for sure!

For $50 you can cram in at the very least 5 x 200km/h blasts without any hassles from the law, + you'll have hard fast evidence of just how well those new found 160rwkw move the black beast :D When you DO hit the drag strip I'd recommend upping your boost level, now you've got the S-AFC2 & FMIC 10-12psi will be fine for a few quick runs.

The JAFFA mobile should head out too!

It'd be good to get a few of us SAU guys running. That way we can line each other up.

Rob,

I can organise a helmet for you if need be? Let me know.

I'm buying an open face helmet from Revolution Racegear this Thursday. $80 brand new. ADR approved. Nothing flash, but it's comfy & looks ok.

To run at a street meet you'll need the following:

ADR approved helmet

Full length pants/trackies etc... long sleeved top

$50 cash

A roadworthy car - no noticeable leaks etc...

EDIT: Some additions -

Your terminal speed or trap speed (TS) is an average speed taken over the last 30ft b4 the 400m line & 30ft after the 400m line. I'm guessing a stock GTS25t would trap in the mid/high 90mph region? A car with a 100-105mph (161-169km/h) trap speed probably wouldn't hit the limiter until past the TS area so it wouldn't matter. If you trap @ 110+mph then the limiter will hold you back (no limiter for me :( )

Elapsed Time (ET) - taken from the time your car breaks the staging beams till it breaks the 400m beam, irrespective of reaction time (for street meets).

For more info have a read here - http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/.../offstreet.html & here - http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/...034/timing.html

Ignore the AIR website street meet calender, it's waaay out of date!

You wont hit the speed cut drifty - if you did you would be pulling

12s.sounded good on the dyno today - does need more boost.

The rumour is that the usual winter Sunday street meets may not be on so this MAY be the last one for a while(I hope not)

So come out a have a go.

Driftspec - just drive like you normally do & you'll do fine.

:( Classic! Oh but best to keep it pointed straight ahead for at least 400m Rob :O

No passengers allowed during a pass.

Awesome yep I am sold :) , I will be there if I can get leave pass hehe.

Yeah I know I need more boost for sure John , need to get an EBC at some stage when money permits... Mark said should easily get over 200rwkw safely with the setup I have so looking forward to that one day.

lol but sideways action is fun Matt :(

damn no passengers :O

Passed Denzo in his JMS R33 (heading opposite way) the other day in my 33, we both looked over. I was thinking "hmmm nice car!" He was probably thinking "POS" :(

Thanks mate :O I've done a bit more tinkering since you last saw it.

45k isn't bad for all the gear it's got! If ALL the gear is part of the 45k deal?

Regency & any of our cars don't mix well :(

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
