Given there is no car on the HPI drag list that comes close to that 60ft

and we are talking 8 second cars on street drag radials this seems very strange.

http://www.hpi.com.au/drag_records.php

There are cars doing 1.3's in the world but none on true street tyres that I know of !!

The all use drag radials and a good 1000 to 1500 hp !

I mean no offence but I think you gotta look at this logically.

If true this could be some sort of world record.

So let me get this correct Butters, you claim the car is 1000-1500rwhp and must be on drag radials at least? I think by the photo's we can clearly see they aren't any big flash drag slicks on there.

I will let RockoGTR come on here himself and maybe he has a couple of photo's that clearly show the car was on Nexen street tyres, just as it was sent over with. He will be putting slicks or drag radials on it next time, then hopefully the box will hold together and it should go quicker.

This car is DEFINITELY NOT 1000-1500rwhp either, it was nowhere near that.

I will let him no it might be a record and he can inform HPI and show his time slip and join the ranks :thumbsup:

Also bear in mind this car still has full interior and is a comfortable daily drive.

I don't want to be taken out of context on my comment above so please allow me to clarify.

I think there is something being done differently to most every other GTR that goes to the drags in some department. Whether it's just a perfectly balanced launch from an outstanding driver or some tricky suspension settings, it's incredibly rare to see a 1.3x 60' time from any street GTR and it's especially rare for it to happen on streeters.

I'm not doubting the tyre choice at all when I say that I reckon there's more to it.

Great job though.

The car is extremely well set up from good suspension, good HKS exhaust, good turbo choice for the car, good tune, good driver etc. There is no NOS or any "secrets" on the car and I am sure Jeff would be happy to show anyone. We aren't trying to claim this figure from a stock car and we never mentioned suspension set ups etc... even tho the suspension isn't anything over the top or expensive. It doesn't have coil overs or anything.

There is no denying the figures, its just a very well set up car that anyone with any knowledge could build on what is not a huge budget.

As I am not the guru on the car or a mechanic I think between Jeff, NIB and RockoGTR they can answer all your questions. Pity they are all holidaying or away working.

I don't mind being taken out of context ... seems to always happen on the net lol

R31 Chick you need to take this less personally, are you his girlfriend ?

I am sorry I believe with a 1.3 60ft if he puts on drag slicks he will not go stuff all quicker.

Did he manage to run another pass with a simular 60ft or is this a once off ?

I'd be keen to see it backed up at another track like willowbank If he does its quite an acheivement taking down the likes of keir wilson and theo woollett to the 60ft !!

He just sneaks into tenth place on HPI list, so well done on that !

Nope, I am his ex. Things do go out of context and being Steve's daughter I know this all too well. As my brother built the car is probably why I jump to its defence.

The car will be at Willow Bank soon. There is video footage of the car in rear wheel drive smoking 4th although Jeff hasn't sent it to me yet which will prove the tyre debate.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
