So what's the latest? Saw that Cressida boat running last Friday, only saw one run but it looked like he hit the brakes hard and a mediocre launch? Still did a low 10 - had it already run a 9 and would be booted if dipped into the 9's again?

Any word on Dirt hitting the track?

gee, when did i run a nine? i must have been asleep when that happened.

its run 13 10.00 at 146 mph but i havent run a nine yet.

on the pass you saw i had to get off it twice in second gear and then when it tyre shook again in third i got off it and ran a 10.2 at 109 mph 115.8 mph to half track. some 2 mph up at half track on when i went 146mph. we had the car for a 9.4xx at 150.8mph, just we didnt have the track to do it. cant wait to wind more boost into it. :cheers:

Hah, I got there late and that was the only run I saw you do. Was pretty impressive, looked like a very very easy 9 second pass *if* there was no backing off. I had thought you might have been pedaling it just to stay in the 10's if you didn't have the rest of the ANDRA gear to be teched for 9.99+. Still, making a buttload more power than last year. No trans problems this time?

Very impressive. :)

What tyres are you using now?

had to pedal it as te track was shit and didnt want to put the car into the wall.

the pass you saw it tyre shook in second and third gear.

it ran 115 to half track an 109 full track. so yes there was an easy mid nine if the track was there.

the car is teched and has the chute on.

as for the box, it needs a billett converter, its slipping badly in third gear. tyres are still mickey t street radials.

    • 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.
