the hardest thing about using a transbrake is getting used to not hitting the brakes when you hold it flat but its easy

just get into stage hold the button until you hit the right boost or rpm

i leave the line at 5000rpm with 10 psi boost

any questions pm me

put a boost gauge and 5" rev tacho close to ur steering wheel so u can c it straght and clear. I have 3 speed in mine. 1st u switch your transbrake solenoid on, hold the button then rev it to 5,000 or something, boost will hit 15-18psi. leave the button then you'll get "quickest launch ever". dont hold that button for too long, 5-6 sec max, other way u will cook ur trans. get a big trans cooler !, and dont press it again when you launch, your trans will go back to reverse and brake ur auto internals. autos are jsut like a tune and engine, you need correct stall size to suit ur turbo, and cam and then retune it to match everything... very hard man. You bought the best auto for drags, good luck

Love the sound of the T51R, always have and probably always will :P

As for being the quickest, I'm not sure about times but there was an R33 running a factory-capacity RB25, making 795rwhp getting around Brisbane, was built by Hardcore before they ceased operations and had NIS33 on the plates. Also, 40RCD (now TRY09) might be worth checking too, I don't know if it still runs an RB25 bottom end but last time I saw it, it was running some very decent times. It was definitely 2.5 litre when it was running mid 10's, and I'm fairly sure it was still 2.5 when it broke into the 9's too, but I don't know about now :)

Best of luck ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
