Hopfully have my 3" system and the chip done by Dr_drift by next time and gear box fixed.

[KamikazeR33]

whats wrong wif ya gearbox?

[R31Heaven]

wont go into 3rd gear if the revs go over 4000rpm

[R31Nismoid]

so?

a 9 is a 9

and a 10 is a 10

a 10 is NOT a 9. not in any way shape or form.

I don't got round saying i've got a car that will run 11's! if it runs the time THEN i will say i do. NOT before.

my best was 14.4 i believe - didn't get the timeslip tho as that was just b4 it started pissing down... Guess it was better than the other GTS-T's so can't complain too much.  

Those 225/50R16's didn't help much - next time i think i'll just use my regular street 17"s

we have video footage Gordo so we can confirm the time and let you know your 60ft and TS!

was a good day for cruising and socialising but the drags were a little a bit of a disappointment for me...track was too wet IMO...bastards used me asa guinea pig for the first run of lane 2

[Guest INASNT]

how many hrs of video did jet mate actually film??

[predator]

hehe.. cool - i am curious, because that is the better one even if it was dodge..

haha - dale the track guineapig.. i remember that when they chucked you there right in front of me thinking "he can't be too happy with that .. the first one in the slippy lane"

Its done a 10's already.. they'd musta had probs with it i guess..

yea i know the problem...the driver/"crew"

i mean fair enough, its hard to see where your going and what your doing when your head is up your ass

[NismoR34]

I got to see the "RH9" up close, nice car but the guys were a bit *on edge* I think... Not sticking up for them but they have invested a lot of money into their cars...

I was pissed off so many people were so close to my car - including a lot of non-sau people, I was just trying to cool the engine down before the first run and every con, vic and gary had to poke their fingers into the engine bay...i am already paranoid enough and I dont want my fcucking car scratched let alone something damaged vindicatively...bah just left it at home next time

[R31Nismoid]

LOL!!!

true gord... not a whole lot!

especially when PANNIC comes out and runs yet anoer mid 9 pass!

Now that's a show that never ends!!

[NismoR34]

anyway, helmets are a real pain in the neck [no pun intended], cant feel the car and cant hear jack...then some rotor or 80's falco next to you doing burnouts at 130db just makes it easier - not!

as i said it was a good day, just not for drag racing

jet took some vided footage in-car during my chap laps, should be interesting...I think you are talking about my mate with the camera though INASNT ?

we got almost an hours worth and are chopping it up today...

jet himself probably got a fair bit in addition to this?

True i can understand that too. I guess when you get other guys who are running great times and and are more than happy to show thier car to you and tell you about it.

I think that's being PROUD of your car, wanting to show it off to everyone!

[R31Heaven]

Pannic is an unasuming car it is quiet, looks like an average VL except for slicks, but puts every one to shame. I would be intersted to see how much is spent on it, compared to RH9 or GTR700

[sniffy]

i could see they got off on telling people to F off...thats the difference

they are the sort of people that do up cars to go down chapel st and pick up gurls and show off to everyone...not to have a fast car that looks nice and goes hard...(if that makes sense?)

I agree with you ash, they could have been a lot nicer to fellow skyline enthusiasts...

I think the *pro's* take it all a bit too seriously and have lost sight of the fun of it, in their game of chasing numbers.

I would have had more fun with my car pefrorming *like it does on the street* but s*it happens I guess.

I am keen to go down to calder too but I know its very busy down there...they need to open up another drag strip i think

[MarioGTR]

1/. You were all there (at the track) because I let you. We had booked the track months in advance for the whole weekend - it turns out that it was double booked, we were asked by Russell if we'd mind a test and tune running on Sunday as he didn't want to disappoint so many people. I said "no problem" - as long as we can run when we need to.

2/. Some smartass came in earlier in the day and started to snap photos whilst the engine bay was open - directly of what he was asked not to take - the cooling system. He is lucky he left with his head intact - because of him, everyone else was told to keep away. A plain case of one dickhead that we were nice to ruined it all for everyone.

3/. We were pissed off. It was going to rain, but we thought we would limit our runs to give other people a chance - so don't tell me we are assholes because we had forsaken our track time for most of you.

And you wonder why the hell you get treated like you do? I will never allow the car to run when others are at the track - end of story.

Mario.

[dAVE]

i am up for a meet at calder asap.. before i sell.. would hate to sell it and have never taken it out on a track..

also, whats the deal with helmets - you need ADR approved?

[R31Heaven]

I stood off to the side and had a conversation with one of the pit crew form Marios camp and he was very willing to talk to me about how things were going, I and some of the things that had happened over the weekend with the car (Track wise) I for one did not want to get in their way and dont believe they should be getting the flack that they are. If you have a read of Marios site you will understand what type of weekend they had.....
