Did the chicken or the egg come first?

Anyone can pick parts of the rules and change them to suit themselves but really it all comes down to how much the polieman knows thats defecting you :(

this is an interesting thing.

a mate of mine in his stupidity 6 months ago was caught street racing another guy late at night in a kariong industrial area.

he was caught with n20 hooked up.

it went to caught and there was no mention of the n20 althought the police noted it in there report. the lawyer stated to him that it would not be an issue. he was charged with racing which is not a criminal offence apparantly, he had to pay court costs and had his car stored by the crown for 3 months and had to pay towing fees and also storage fees.

i have been told by my local area command i can have the bottle safely stored inthe bottle brackets with the bottle disconnected as i have a dangerous goods sticker on the car to notify the transport of n20. how are you supposed to get the bottle filled and transport it safely, have a second car with bottle brackets to drive to get it filled and safely transported to the track..

i was also told that to have issues with carry it with the line hooked up it would have to be proved that the occupant of the car had intent to use the n20.

i would imagine every thing will come down to individual cases.

i dont know why this thread exists, or what its going to achieve other than another my dick is bigger argument. but hey, if it floats your boat, go nuts.

Wow! A thread full of people with dreams of racing purification?

Racing is (as far as the car used) all about getting dirty. It's all about loop holes ,not getting caught , looking good,bad or ugly and most importantly for some being a shite-stirrer (ala holden powered fords etc.)

Street and racing are two words in an unhappy marriage, full of infidelity.

The street racer , usually has that one vehicle acting as both the race car and the transport. It's a class born out of natural frustration. If asked the question most of the guys worth talking to would trade the regular road/drag car for a spot on a topfuel team as a driver. They kind of realise where the end point is. Lots of them retire the road/drag car and get a dedicated one at some stage down the track (once the light bulb goes on). Or they just pack it all in.

These are the sort of truths to understand before you can get anywhere.

I won't get started on nitrous use, I can't stop once I do. It's all good.

I look forward to the kind of 'real' street car racing that california is sure to have running soon....electric and hybrid drag cars are it man! Nothing like the furious rumble of an electric car smoking the tyres........ action plus!

At the end of the day some people are obsessed with the " How fast can you go in a slow car " Because in drag racing categories street car classes are the slowest...ok maybe the peewee dragsters are but, they are only little kids and they have an excuse.

I don't want to see slower cars. So if you are talking to me with the idea of slowing someones car down for the sake of ideals then you are clearly not part of the racing family, you might be a bastard son tho'.

rev210 when was the last time you raced your skyline at a drag strip?

Ha ha ,I don't think I ever really raced any skyline at the drag strip, in the sense that the car I drove at any time was actually remotely fast (although the old nitrous'd gtst ran into kangaroos before getting there even once before adrian ended up with the cursed equipment). In the recent years of skyline ownership I have tried my best to avoid the place lest it suck me back into it's evils as it did many years ago. My time will soon come, the 4 small children in my house need to grow up and I have resolved to do it properly once the time arrives. In the mean time I get to watch from the sidelines and make stupid comments :laugh:

Re: 6 point rollcage - Is that installed and certified before February 2006, or just installed before then and can be certified post Feb 2006??

as long as you have reciepts of the cage being done before feb yes thats correct and my car is engineered with the NOS kit but bottle must be removed.

As for nitrous systems

ppl use them in america for extra towing power so i dont know what australias problem is

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
