Yeah you can just have to let them know at scrutineering.

With the power you have now I dont see why a LOWWWW 12/ high 11 isnt possible.

And pay an extra $40 for the 2nd driver.

Did anyone go?

I take it Troy, you are not coming to GOR :O , weak.............................

I was there, there were 3 GTR's, a silver 33 which done a 12.020/114mph, a white 33 with a 12.6/109mph and a bayside blue 34 (plates GTRR) with a 12.3/113mph.. Two gtst's in the 14's and the usual v8's vl's etc...

No Brisby though.. :)

I wouldnt mind taking my gtr with street tyres, last time i took semi slicks. I'll see how things go during the week. Jack, I want to see you do the 1/4 mile in ur car mate :D

I get heaps of people asking me to take it, although I'm reluctant coz of the fact that its not setup for drag and I'm sure I will break the gearbox. I did a 11.6/119mph with the T517Z turbo setup (315rwkw) with Hankook street tyres back in 2004, so with current setup 350rwkw and semi comps it should be good for a low 11...

We'll see, if I do decide to go, there will be no 7500rpm side step clutch launches, as I value the gearbox and clutch, I would be more interested in what mph it would run.... ;)

Im very keen to run the quarter very soon for some GTR vs GTR action, and after having me car tuned 2 weeks ago im eager to see how it will go.

Hopefully mates will get their asses into gear soon enough!

> Another vote for club drags <

Hus you would be suprised, but you Possibly could run a better time on street tyres.

With the slick on, did it get a lot of wheelspin, or did it bog down, or have very little spin?

When I get my Best 60 fts, there is always a little more wheelspin.

Well, just got off the phone with Calder and they are booked till the end of this month. So April onwards should be OK at this point.

Do people have any preferances on dates, or any dates they can not attend?

My can't do list:

6/4/07: Easter weekend

13/4/7: (maybe) Possible driver training day, the next day

    • 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.
